Pointer Domains

Pointer Domains, sometimes called Parked Domains, can be set up to point other domains to this account.

A common example is if you have a SiteWorx account with master domain mydomain.com, you could then create pointer domains for mydomain.net, mydomain.org, etc, or any other domain you want to point to the same website as mydomain.com.

Pointer domains also "point" e-mail addresses at the pointer domain to the master domain accounts. So, if you create mydomain.org as a pointer domain to mydomain.com, mail sent to postmaster@mydomain.org will be delivered to the postmaster@mydomain.com e-mail box.
