If you have 2 domain names and only 1 physical website, should you simply forward visitors to your physical site from your extra url in your webhosting control panel, or is there a better way?

These are new domain names.

Thanks in advance for considering this issue.

Basically yes. You may want to use a 301 Redirect.
Information about it here or Point them both to the same IP

My host automatically parks multiple domains I get from them onto the hosting for it (i.e. if I buy more than one domain with the same name and different TLDs) and redirects them all to the same IP.
