Multiple domains pointing to site.com

I have 4-5 domains, relevant to my site's theme and I'd like them to point to my site. What is the "safest" way to do that. None of the domains that are currently not in use, are submitted in SEs

I have the same situation and I solved this by rewriting everything to just one main domain. This channels all traffic to one domain and won't produce double content.
I really can't judge this by a SEO point of view but it seems reasonable to do so.

How did you do that?

Can you please vBSEO guys confirm that is safe to do something like that and what is the best way to do so?

Definition of ServerAlias in the webserver's config file.

You can define an almost unlimited number of aliases.

Show us a sample!

It is recommended to 301 redirect all domains to the main domain name as described in [How to] Setup www.yourdomain.com or yourdomain.com (www vs. non-www) - With .htaccess 301 redirects

You mean to 301 redirect:

newdomain1.com
www.newdomain1.com
newdomain2.com
www.newdomain2.com
newdomain3.com
www.newdomain3.com

to www.maindomain.com, by adding a rewriting rules in .htacceess?

How that code should be? I mean, what exactly should I add in .htaccess?

PS. I already have:

Code:

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.maindomain\.com
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.maindomain.com/$1 [R=301,L]

Yes, that rewrite rule should redirect any domain that is NOT "www.maindomain.com" to "www.maindomain.com", as long as that domain is being setup in hosting account for the same site.

I see...

Thank you

Ooopps, that's my case.

Can it be done also with "domain.com" and "domain.it" ? It should be.

Sure, just put your domain name in rewrite rules.

i have the same question for my site i just purchased the .net and .org domains i would like that this new both domains poiting to the .com

1. the first thing that i have done is to change the DNS Servers for this new 2 domains to pointing to the ip of the .com

2. i have parked the .net and .org under the .com domain

but now i don't know how to do the 301 redirect because via ftp when i try to log on the .net or .org i'm redirect to the .com domain

You should setup a redirect as described in [How to] Setup www.yourdomain.com or yourdomain.com (www vs. non-www) - With .htaccess 301 redirects

Sorry i have not understand in what htaccess file i need to set up the redirect because i can have access only in the .com domain

You should put it in .com domain .htaccess.
