Question Multiple Domain Names & One Web Site

I have 3 registered names and want to redirect two of them to the first site.

Two are "Parked", will use the main one for email, ftp, main site etc.

How do I redirect the two parked domains to the main domain?

FYI, I've got three domains because one has a hyphen "-", which I've heard is not a good idea. One has repeating letters "ss" which even I find difficult to type and I came up with it. The third is a bit long (20 characters!)

This may depend on how my host has things set up, or it may be very specific, so any comments will be appreciated.

Also, please state your opinion(s) about which of the three domain names should be primary. I'm partial to the one with the hyphen because it's shortest.

Thanks in advance

What are you using to host the site?

The general idea: first, point the A Records at your registrar to wherever your first domain is pointing. Then, enable the additional domains as secondary or alias domains.

You have 2 choices, you can get your host to park the domains for you and have them point to your site or you can have your registar, most will do it, redirect it for you. Either way that you do it, it's almost better if you don't point it to your home page. Point it to another page and redirect that one to your home page. That makes it a bit easier to track page hits per domain.
