search apache.org for Redirect, RedirectPermanent, and RedirectTemporary. They should all be under mod_alias.

If you don't want to have to write out all the pages manually, and don't have access to do a rewrite, I suggest you let the mistake of your users live -- just use domain aliasing. That will mean that the content you put in the folder /readers/, for instance, can be viewed if I type onelit.com/readers/ or 1lit.com/readers/ -- it's the same folder, only the domain name is different.

You would either have to set up a redirect for every page or just make a custom 404 page that has a redirect in it.

Thanks Mark

Would any of the techniques redirect all the pages at OneLit.com automatically to their equivalent at 1Lit.com automatically (there are hundreds)?

Or would I have mention each one and the redirect for each individually?

If you can provide details or links to places where I can get more details that would be a huge help.

Thank you VERY much.

.htaccess is the way to do this as Suzanne mentioned assuming that you are on a 'Nix host.

You have several ways to do this. Probably the easiest is something like this

------------------------------.htaccess---------------------
Redirect index.html http://www.1lit.com/
------------------------------------------------------------

An htaccess file is called a dot file in Linux terms which means that it is a hidden file. So to redirect users using htaccess, you would start out with whatever page that you want to redirect. If your homepage was index.html then use it in the above example. If it is something else then use that. This would also assume that you have an index page for onelit.com . If you don't, then talk to your host, if they have the domain parked on their servers, they can do the redirect.

Beyond that you would have to get into using mod_rewrite in htaccess which can be a bit intimidating.

You mention .htaccess

Is there a way of making it go to the equivalent page at 1Lit.com as has been typed in for OneLit.com? e.g. OneLit.com/books => 1Lit.com/books ?

also, you can use .htaccess to have all pages go to 1lit.com or you can have domain parking/aliasing.

Park the domain with the same host -- that might cost you an annual fee, but it shouldn't be very much.
