What is a domain name pointer? Why might I need one?

A domain name pointer is simply a domain name that “points to” another web site. For example, the following doamin names: www.houston-chiropractic.com and 1960westchiropractic.com will take you to the same web site. That is because houston-chiropractic.com is a 301 permanent redirect to 1960westchiropractic.com. We recommend using 301 permanent redirects because they are search engine friendly.
