Hi all,

I've taught myself how to set up a website so i'm by no means technically savvy.

I have bought a .co.uk AND and .com domain for my website. At the moment they are separate and i just want to use the .co.uk one, so what do i need to do so that when someone goes to .com, it autoamtically forwards them on to .co.uk??

I'd really appreciate any help here.

Regards,

Martin

Probably important to mention that i created this site via weebly.com, like a templated design and not from scratch

You can either add this

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;url=http://www.yourdomain.co.uk"/>

withinn the <head> tag of your index page for the .com domain

or if you have access to cPanel you can set it up directly through there.

Changing the htaccess file I would think is better.

Or your web host cpannel might be able to point it with a click of a button.

Apart from possibly using your host control panel (as I can imagine webbly not giving you the option) you could try your domain hosts control panel.
