301 redirects

I need to redirect multi domain names to my main site. The domain names are registered with different company then the main company domain. There are no pages that exists for the other domains. I wanted to find out how can I do a 301 redirect for the other domains to my main company site.

Hi new, and welcome to the forum,
Do you have hosts for your secondary domain names? If you have, you can redirect them with a rule in the .htaccess files.
If not, you have to check if your registars allow you such a redirect by their admin interface.
But beware, multiple 301 to one single domain might be regarded by google as spam. How many domains do you plan to redirect?

Thanks for your reply. We are planning on redirecting close to 6 secondary domain names. Our SEO has adviced us to do so....???

What if you don't know who the registars are for these secondary domains. This is the problem i am running into. They have no idea who they registered with. Is there a way for me to be able to find out who these secondary names are registered with?
