Hosting a redirected domain.

Hi Guys,
This may be a dumb question but...
Is there a way of redirecting a URL without it being hosted? Do I have to pay for hosting just for a domain that has nothing on it?

Thanks,
Herb.

Alright, there's a couple different ways you can do this.

1 - 301 redirects: Just add some code into your .htacess file and have Steve redirect to Bob.

2 - Parked Domains: Essentially the same thing, but doesn't require to you edit any files. Just go into ControlPanel (or whatever you have) and have Steve point to Bob's address.

You do have to register both domains though, but hosting for only one. For example:

You get steve.com with hosting
You redirect bob.com to steve.com
