Well both are registered with DreamHost and boisechordsmen.com is hosted at DreamHost too. So at this point you just need to follow the directions found here: Redirecting a new domain or sub domain

After creating the domain, I'd probably serve it with an empty root directory except for index.html that contains a meta redirect to the other site.

Set the delay to 0 seconds instead of 5.
