I hope I can successfully explain what I'm wanting to do here -
As you already know, my site's domain is mahoningvalleytalk.com.
I recently purchased mahoningvalleytalki.net, youngstowntalk.com, and youngstownforums.com.
I want all three of these to point to mahoningvalleytalk.com.
I have tried to do this at namecheap.com - three different times, in fact - without success. Redirecting domains at godaddy was a breeze.
This is what I did -
Went into my Namecheap domain manager. Clicked the little box next to the domain. And there were no links to click to take me to where I needed to do this redirecting. SOOO... I checked the little boxes next to all three names (listed above), then clicked on the Url Forwarding link that appeared on the left, which told me to click on the All Host Records link, which I did. Now there's a place @ with a box next to it for domains without the www., and there's a box next to the www. Not knowing what to do, I filled in both boxes with mahoningvalleytalk.com. Probably not correct but I didn't know what to do. Anyway, I've done thing 3 separate times, and still when I type any of those domains in the address bar above, they do not go to my site.
If fact they don't go anywhere except to a Yahoo! error page saying that this page cannot be found. grrrrrrrrrrrrr..... I'm guessing that this is because all of these urls have my custom DNS?
Could someone please explain to me how to do this at Namecheap? Obviously I'm not doing something correctly.
Or is there another way to redirect these urls to my site?
And please, explain this as clearly as possible. I feel stupid enough for having to ask.
Thanks in advance!
