When you have a few domain names with different extensions and you need all of them to open exactly the same Internet site, you can have the Internet site under one of them and redirect all the rest. There are several approaches to forward one Internet domain name to another, among them the so-called domain parking. When your web hosting plan permits it, though, it shall be better if you host each of the domains and set up a URL redirect, not a domain redirect. The primary difference between the two is that while a domain name is hosted, you can still have content for it, set up subdomains, email addresses, and many others., while with a parked domain it's not possible to do any of these things. As an example, if you are building localized websites under several country-code domain names, you shall be able to work on them, but in the meantime, people shall be forwarded to the main Internet site.
