Basically the end result is that whenever someone types
qwepo.com/foobar it will bring them to qweop.com/foobar AND the
address bar will show qweop.com/foobar


301 Permanent Redirect is EXACTLY what you need here.

That's what Wikipedia says about your case: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/URL_redirection#Similar_domain_names


If you web server is Apache, then this is the rule that will do such redirect (mod_rewrite is required):

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} =qwepo.com
RewriteRule .* qweop.com%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]


If it is IIS 7.x, then use the following rule (using URL Rewrite module):

<system.webServer>
<rewrite>
<rules>
<rule name="Proper Domain Name" stopProcessing="true">
<match url=".*" />
<conditions>
<add input="{HTTP_HOST}" pattern="qwepo.com" />
</conditions>
<action type="Redirect" url="http://qweop.com{REQUEST_URI}" redirectType="Permanent" />
</rule>
</rules>
</rewrite>
</system.webServer>
