I am currently working on a site in my free time with a few other guys and we are wanting to redirect xxx.com to our new site, yyy.com.

So we have xxx.com set to redirect the 216.111.11.1 which is the IP for yyy.com. However, this just says the website is unavailable so it seems as though we need a DNS PTR to redirect 216.111.11.1 to yyy.com.

Is there any way to do this without a DNS PTR? The pointer will cost us $15 and it just seems like there should be some better way to go about doing this.

Any ideas?
