    Create a file called .htaccess then in something like notepad add this. Change the domain in the below to where you want it to go.

    Options +FollowSymLinks
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteRule (.*) http://www.newdomain.com/$1 [R=301,L]

    Upload this to your root of the domain that you want to redirect.

    I dont use GD, I dont know there CPANEL but follow below ...

    Ok .. Login to GD and manage your domain(s) pick the domain you want to manage and use there "Forward" there and you can re-direct the URL to anywhere you want.

    Hope that answers your question using this method.

      When in doubt, send GoDaddy an email OR call their support. Their Customer Service phone line is great. I have used it several times myself. If I remember, they are open 7 days a week. Give them a call.
