I already own a service here with bluehost. I also registered a domain when I signed up for it. How do I take advantage of "Host UNLIMITED Domains!!!". I would like to use this server and space to host another website as well.
Thanks guys!

Go to the Control Panel. Choose Register Domain, and register your new domain. The registration will cost you $10 for one year. Then choose Addon Domains, and make that newly-registered domain an addon domain for your account.
The files for the new domain should all be placed in a subdirectory under public_html. Making it an addon domain will automatically create the subdirectory in the correct place, so you don't have to do it manually.

You can also use domains within Top Level Domains that can't be bought from BlueHost. To do that you first buy the domain from a registrar that can offer domains within your chosen top level domain. Next you set the nameservers for the domain to point to ns1.bluehost.com and ns2.bluehost.com in the control panel provided by the registrar. Third, you go into your BlueHost control panel and set up the domain using the add-on domain option.
