dns cname redirect url

Question

Hi all,

I have two domain names:

example1.com example2.com

on example1.com i run an webserver in a shared environment on the internet. examle2.com is only a registered domain where i can only manage DNS. examaple1.com points to ip address: 123.123.123.123. the problem is, when i go to: http://123.123.123.123 i do not come on example1.com but to the website of my hosting provider. The problem is i need to redirect example2.com to example1.com, but i cant acomplish this with an A record because my hosting provider needs an domainname to redirect me to my site.

So how could i redirect example2.com to example1.com without changing the url?

Any ideas?

Sory for my bad english.

Answer 1

is this a linux web server or Windows web server?

Answer 2

What happens when you go to example2.com? Same thing?

If so, you need to ask your hosting provider to add a virtual host entry for example2.com as well as example1.com

Answer 3

you can't. the only thing you can do by dns is to point a domain name to an ip adress. what you need is a virtual host set up by your provider, that is configured to match the second domain. if this isnt possible you need a webserver somewhere that serves a redirect of frame or something like that to your first domain
