What exactly is a pointer domain and how do you get one?

It's my understanding that it's a domain name that redirects to another site. Such as w.abcsite.c redirects to w.abcd.c, but anyone who types in either address will get to abcd.com - is that right?

Also, what is the difference between purchasing a domain name and registering one?

Thank you!:
