  Old  "forwarding" a domain

is there a way to mirror a domain? I have to find a new domain for my file hosting site, but I cant start over and delete some 700 files, is there a way to have img911.com/uploads/file.ext got to newdomain.com/uploads/file.ext so all my current links dont go invalid

Surely you can just change the DNS on the new domain to point to the same server? Who is your hosting provider? With site5 it's easy.

I have a few domains pointed to my dns, and each of them are different sites.

I am on a shared server if that means anything

Just point the new domain to the same server that your image site is hosted on and get that domain working. Then you can either keep img911.com hosted to insure your links still work or you can use a mod_rewrite rule to redirect the link to your new domain.
