How to setup a Domain Pointer in the DirectAdmin Control Panel

    Domain Pointers are used to point two or more different domain names to the same site. For example, ABC Company's main website is at www.abccompany.com, but they also want users to be able to access the site at www.abcco.com. They would set up abcco.com as the source domain. Your original account domain name is always set as the destination. Then when users access http://www.abcco.com in thier browser, they are directed to http://www.abccompany.com.
