You should check if your registrar has a feature for a 301 Permanent Redirect. If not, use the following code in the .htaccess on the root of your site to accomplish the same effect.

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule (.*) www.new-domain.com/ [R=301,L]

Lets clarify you own exampleA.com, and want to point it to exampleB.com. Ok so forward the domain you own exampleA.com to exampleB.com in your registrars account. Emails aren't affected unless you start changing MX records.
