Currently have two identical websites through Flowershopnetwork, one is my shop name, Oak Hill Florist, the other was set up as Scarborough Maine Florist figuring more people would find me that way. Making $ by both but don't need to expense of the second. How do I redirect www.scarboroughmaineflorist.com visits to www.oakhillflorist.com? Shouldn't FSN be able to do that for me? Thanks for your help. jenny
 
Jenny it depends on who registered and controls the Domain Name...

Do you have a hosting account that you have access to yourself?

If you do, then you can make the change, usually in "Manage Domains" or something similar, where you would point it to the domain you want it to go to, the you can Mask it and have it show the OakHill domain.
 
Masking isn't great for SEO though.

The better option is to have a 301 redirect - either with the domain registrar or the hosting company (FSN) to point the site with the lower profile to the higher one.

FSN registered the domain names.
How do I go about getting a hosting account, not sure what this is?
I've asked FSN if they will redirect the one name to the other...
 
FSN can readily just point one at the other. You can have many domain names all pointing to the same exact site.

You can set up a hosting account through RKFdomains.com here

Then you'll have to get FSN to transfer the domain to that account...

FYI, Mark, when I click on that link, I get a message which says that the page cannot be displayed. Before that, I was getting another kind of message which would not allow access.
 
There was a spelling error in the link - I've corrected it :)

Just sent an email to Jenny about the redirect this morning.

Of course, if you plan on doing something else with the domain, we'll certainly release it to you - otherwise, we can handle the redirect for you since we already have control of the domain.
