having the same website sample.com and sample.net in the same hosting provider

  • Hi,
    I have a working website sample.com, works pretty good. The thing is i have purchase a new domain name sample.net. now i want all the content of sample.com to be installed or copy to sample.net so that i have two separate domain working simultaneously. How can i handle the process? Any plugin the i can use?

    Please help.

  • No, no plugin can do that, But first…

    i want all the content of sample.com to be installed or copy to sample.net so that i have two separate domain working simultaneously.

    …are you aware duplicate content will destroy SEO ranking for both sites?

    At your host, your second domain is likely called an Add-On Domain and it can be cPanel-assigned to its own folder nested in your public “root” (possibly /htdocs/ or /public_html/) folder just as your Primary Domain has likely already been assigned to your public “root”.

    I have domains with .com as well as .net or whatever and I simply redirect one to the other with htaccess so anyone can use either and still end up at the same place without the redirected domain ever being indexed as having any content.

    Hi,

    I dont mind any SEO ranking since the website is not for commercial or public use. The idea why i purchase another domain is to have both site .com and .net to work simultaneously that is why i want all the content and database of .com to be availble in .net. Both sites should work independently and the content should be the same for both site. The two domain is sitting in one nameserver having different IP. I dont want an addon domain.

    Thanks.

    The two domain is sitting in one nameserver having different IP. I dont want an addon domain.

    You already have an Add-On domain simply because you have more than one. At server (cPanel) level, your host calls sample.com your Primary Domain and it calls sample.net an Add-On, and that has nothing at all to do with how WordPress will know either.

    I would guess you have this already:

    Primary Domain cPanel-assigned to /public_html/

    Now you will add:

    Add-On Domain cPanel-assigned to /public_html/foldername/ (you pick the name)

    Your htaccess in /public_html/ will be for your Primary Domain and your htaccess in /public_html/foldername/ will be for your Add-On Domain.

    edit:

    The two domain…having different IP.

    You will have to ask your host how to configure things for that to work.
