Redirect 301 from second domain with upload .htaccess file

General

Hi,

I have a website in divhunt that is connected to my main domain.

I have another second domain purchased from my web host, and I would like to set it up so that when I type it into a search engine, my website opens.

I want to redirect the domain to the home page of my website.

Example:

if I type in:
www.seconddomain.com

opens:
www.mywebsite.com

Can someone show how I can set up such a redirect?

Thanks

UPDATE:

I can’t do it in the panel with my site’s DNS settings, but on the hosting provider’s website it says that I have to upload an .htaccess file with text:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://otherdomain.com/$1 [R=301,L]

when otherdomain.com is my second domain.

No htaccess needed, you do this on domain registrar level, before anyone even hits your URL:

Using Domain Registrar’s DNS Settings

  1. Log in to your domain registrar’s control panel:
  • This is where you purchased your second domain.
  1. Find the DNS settings:
  • Look for DNS management, DNS settings, or similar options.
  1. Set up a URL Redirect:
  • Look for an option to add a URL redirect or forward.
  • Enter the details as follows:
    • Source URL: http://www.seconddomain.com
    • Destination URL: http://www.mywebsite.com
  • Save the changes.

I wrote that I cannot do this in the domain settings panel because there is no such option there…

I asked the registrar and he told me that this is the only solution…

This is the only solution that you can do through Divhunt.

Create a new empty project, connect that empty project to domain that you want to be redirecting traffic. And then create workflow to do 301 reidrect to another domain

You can definitely do that with your host domain provider.

For example, in GoDaddy: Forward my GoDaddy domain | Domains - GoDaddy Help CA

What is your domain provider? Also for workflow, i can help you achieve that
