Can you redirect every domain?

Hello everyone,

First of all i have to tell you that i have been reading methods here for some time now and i wanted to try out one for the very first time. (i have no experience at all)

As i was setting up everything i needed, which includes register a domain name only for redirecting. Some things became unclear to me. I have searched on here and on the internet for the answer but could not find it myself. Anyway i will cut to the case.

Does it matter where i register my domain name in order to be able to redirect it?
So for example: At godaddy i saw a little clip which informs you about their automated redirect service which is integrated in their site/your account. So my question is: will there also be a similar service or another method to redirect the domain for other site such as "namecheap"?

I realise this is really a noob question but i hope anyone can help me with this.

Best regard.

You can redirect any domain by opening the index.php and removing anything and adding this only

<?php
header("Location:http:thesiteyourwanttoredirectto.c o m");
?>

I have hostgator they also have the automatic redirect, it's just to make it more convenient but you don't need it, it's really easy to setup

As already mentioned. Any domain can be redirected either by DNS, htaccess or the index.php file.

Just makes sure you do a 301 redirect if you want to get the link power.

Thanks for the answers guys I figured it out now!
Have a nice day.
