Can I run 2 Domains from 1 hosting package?

[GloriaF]

I have been running one domain for the last 16 months and have now bought a new domain and want to host it on the same site, is this possible and if so how do i set it up.

Many thanks in advance

Officially, no it can't be done and you would need a second hosting package.

However, it can be sort of done using a workaround, although this may not be ideal - to do this you would put the site in a subdirectory of your existing space eg www.firstdomain.com/seconddomain and forward the second domain to this.

However, the drawback of this is that people will still see the true address of www.firstdomain.com/seconddomain when hovering over links, etc so it is not really that great if you want the second site to be completely independent from the original.

Theres a better way than that,use php to read the refferal domain

Forward the domain to say 66.102.123.104/index.php , the adress line will read as your domain name and the index.php will use the refferal header to load what domain it has been reffered by,
