Can you publish a website under .com, but also register it under .net and .org so nobody else can ta

I have a website that is just about ready to publish. The domain name I found is available under all three: .com, .net. ,org. I obviously would like it to be hosted on all three, but do I have to register and pay monthly webhosting fees on all of them seperately?. Can I just host it on the .com domain, but also pay the yearly fee to register the other domains without actually hosting them? I don%26#039;t want anyone to take the .net and .org domains. Thanks

As above, but to clear things up for you hosting and having a domain name are different things.

Paying for hosting is paying a company to have the files that make up your website sit on there webserver. You pay them for the traffic that comes to your site, just like you pay for uploading and downloading on your home internet connection to your ISP. Essentially everyone that views your site is downloading the files that make up your website from your webhosting company.

Paying for your domain name is paying to have your particular site name listed on DNS (Domain name server), so when someone types in the address of your website the request goes to there from their home computer to their ISP which in turn sends it to a DNS which can convert the %26#039;english%26#039; message to a IP address (ie. googles ip address is http://64.233.169.147 try putting that into a browser)

You can pay to register your address under any domain you would like, each of these will then point the visitor to your webhosting companies server which hosts your files.

Yes good answers, you have to purchase all domain names, and redirect all domain to your main website. You can learn about search engine optimization at http://www.freelance-seo-servi... Report It

Other Replys:~ Buy those names at a reasonable prize

~ You can froward those names in your official page

Know what I mean?

Other Replys:Yes you can.

You can purchase the domain name extenders just like your .com from your domain host company.

You can also set it when someone goes to the .com or .net or .org they get directed automatically to your main .com site regardless.

Check with your hosting company or whoever you got the domain name from.

Hopefully your other extenders are not taken by someone who will want to sell you the extender at a terrible price.

Other Replys:Dear Mike,

the answers above are correct, I just want to add following tip:

The 2nd and 3rd domain name should use a %26quot;301 redirect%26quot; to your original domain.

Otherwise search engines would try to index the additional sites separately and detect %26quot;duplicate content%26quot; of your original site, and that can become a serious danger for your search engine rankings.

This is in detail explained in http://www.hostingtech.com/?m=show%26amp;id=12...

Example:

http://www.Mercury-Consulting-Ltd.net is forwarded via %26quot;301 redirect%26quot; to http://www.Mercury-Consulting-Ltd.com

Good Luck for your Website!

Other Replys:You have to buy all the domains. Use .htaccess.

Other Replys:Buy the domains names and place a redirect to your main page. Your host can do that, if they don%26#039;t offer that service then - insert this code on your index page

%26lt;meta HTTP-EQUIV=%26quot;REFRESH%26quot; content=%26quot;0; url=http://www.yourdomain.com/index.html...

Good luck.
