Why doesnt my domain forwarding work i forwarded www.justdogginaround.net to www.justdogginaroundinfo.com?





You can have a domain name and make it work as an alias for another domain name ... without buying hosting space..



You can have a domain name with hosting space and make it redirect to another domain name (which has its own hosting space).



These two are different



In the first case you just buy the domain name. Within the admin settings for the domain name (to which you should have access) you need to make arrangements such that this happens.



In the second case, you actually have a web site relating to the first domain name and .... within the home page of that ... you include a redirect .... (you can do it in different ways - one way is using a meta tag refresh in 0 seconds)... whereby any request to that site will be immediately transferred to the other site...



Check whether you have bought just the domain name or hosting acount ... in both cases....



If you have already bought hosting account while paying for both the domain names... you can use case 2 till the hosting period expires and then go for case 1 afterwards...



see if this helps
