The "Freeola Customer Forum" forum, which includes Retro Game Reviews, has been archived and is now read-only. You cannot post here or create a new thread or review on this forum.
I've been following Blue Fairy's previous posts and I can confirm that both the .com and co.uk addresses now point to the same website :¬)
From where I'm looking it looks like the MyFreeola option has been used!
Search Freeola Chat My Freeola Instant Site

im new to web design but i recently found and used this code.
add this code to your index.php page of your .com site
this will redirect the visitor to www.your_new_domain.co.uk
the CONTENT="9 is how many seconds the visitor will view your old site before getting redirected and can be changed to any value you choose, which will allow you to have a page explaining that the website has moved and will auto redirect.
hope this helps.

Digi is along the right lines, however if the domain is still connected to the Instant Sites service you will not be able to do this. From the Instant Sites page in MyFreeola you should be able to disassociate a domain (this may not be the case if you only have one domain connected to it). If the system will not let you remove the only domain from the service simply create a F500 address to make the primary Instant Site address instead.
This will allow you to remove your GetDotted domain from the Instant Sites server and appear within 'My Websites' as an unhosted domain. Simply follow the standard process for setting up hosting to link to your .co.uk address.
This is, of course, assuming both your domains are within the same MyFreeola account.

or use mod_rewrite by creating a file called .htaccess containing the following:
--------
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.my-domain.co.uk/$1 [R=301,L]
--------
The advantage of the second method is that it will redirect people with HTTP 301 redirect code and will send them to the same page on the .co.uk. So if they types in www.my-domain.com/my-page.html it will send them to http://www.my-domain.co.uk/my-page.html instead of just the home page.
This can also be achieved with PHP but mod_rewrite is probably the easiest solution.
