Domain Forwarding/Redirecting?

Lanthis

I have two domains registered/hosted at different places. How can I most efficiently and effortlessly redirect 1 to another? (And have the URL change)?

Depending on your host, there should be a service for it, usually in the control panel that most sites have. It varys from host to host so it may take some digging. The fact they are hosted by seperate sites shouldn't prevent you from doing it, but I've not messed with webhosting in a while so I may very well be wrong on that part.

The one I'd like to redirect is at GoDaddy, and they have a control panel for forwarding parked domains also purchased through GoDaddy, but not to exterior domains. I've tried changing the @/www A record and that displays the target webpage with the original URL. I need the URL to update.

Oh I read that as you wanted the URL to stay.
You could just change your Index.html to Auto-Forward using either meta, or java or PHP.
If you have access to .htaccess you can do it in there, which will likely be the most reliable, but not always accessible.

I'd type them all out but this site seems to cover the .htaccess method fairly well.

The other method's can be further explained if you need.

CNAME is what you're looking to update in DNS. You might have to call them to get that change.
