I have on website but this site has no meaning full domain name but have good ranking on internet. I want to make this like this website will be pointed by two different domain names.
please suggest me that how can i do this. please give me easy steps for doing this.
Thanks
Under each of your domains you should have DNS settings so go there and put the same DNS for each domain or you can set DNS for the first on and redirection for the second one.
You can just setup DNS records for both domains to point to the IP of your server.
If you have virtual hosts configured on your server, you may need to create an entry for both domain names.

I want buy a domain for example chat.com, but how to get a domain with more one points.
for example:
web.chat.com
What i need for this ? Is programming or is some type of domain services?
in your example "web" is a subdomain, you can set up as many of these as you want IF you own the domain (chat.com)
so just buy the domain you want (chat.com is probably not available)
then you set up your subdomains with your DNS-provider (often the same place where you buy your domain), the subdomains then "point" to one or more servers where you host your web-pages, apps, api:s ...
if you point more than one subdomain to the same server you can configure the web server (e.g. apache) to handle traffic to the different subdomains.

I have a host and my own domain, lets say: www.mysite.com, on this host I have created a site: sub.mysite.com
Another person owns www.domain.com and I need him to point the domain to sub.mysite.com, however I am going away tomorrow and would like to just leave him the details he needs in order to point www.domain.com to sub.mysite.com, what would those details be?
Thanks,

The Name Server addresses, which can be found searching here:
http://who.is
edit:
Bear in mind that in addition to changing the name servers for the domain, you will also need change your [host's] server configuration to manage the traffic redirection.
Name Server addresses point to a server, not a domain. You want the name servers to match for your current domain and the domain you want moving. This means they will both find the same 'computer'. It is down to the 'computer' (server) to then provide the right files; in this situation, it is achieved by configuring the server to forward traffic arriving from 'newdomain.com' to 'sub.olddomain.com'.
If using the CPanel web management control panel, this is done in the 'Addon Domains' section:
Enter the domain to be pointed in the 'new domain name' field, then set the 'Document Root' field to point to the folder hosting the contents of your subdomain. (e.g. /public_html/sub)

I am hosting and application in IIS. the application is a INTRANET APPLICATION.
Already the server has 2 application hosted in it with host names
site1.k.com and site2.k.com
k.com is my domain name.
I have give host name for my site as
site3.k.com
Do i have to make DNS entry for this.
If you have a wildcard dns entry such that <anything>.k.com goes to your server, then you don't need a specific DNS entry for site3.k.com, but it might make things easier down the road if you have it.
Of course, if you don't have the wildcard set up, and you need to have the url for site3.k.com work, then yeah, it'd be required.
Now, you mention that this is intranet ... if you have a windows server configured to broadcast that it's name is site3 via WINS service, then you might get away with not having the DNS entry, but this behavior is not reliable, because WINS may or may not route to remote sites, depending on WAN and/or VPN configurations, and will generally be a pain in the ass for support.

I'm trying to point a domain name hosted at namesco to a different server, but the people who own the server have said not to change the nameservers as it will break the emails they have. They have said to point to a server name host.therename.com.
I have tried pointing the www CNAME to host.therename.com but it has not changed (48 hours ago), am I missing something?
You need to add an "A" record to your domain, and point that to the IP address of the server that you want to host the website on.
You can leave the CNAME on the "www" subdomain, so people typing in yourdomain.com and www.yourdomain.com will end up at your server.

I'm about to re-launch a corporate website which has the same link structure for each of 10 different top level domains.
There are presently no other international websites, but there may be in the future.
For simplicity's sake I intend to nominate a single primary domain and then use htaccess to redirect incoming traffic from alternative TLD's back to the primary domain*
Is this best practice in terms of efficiency and SEO?
All depends on your content. If each site/tld has its own unique content for that region, then host this on its own domain.
If not don't duplicate the site - redirect to a more 'generic' tld, like .com.
