Another hosting Question

[blend]

I have a single domain up and hosted OK with bluehost.

As my hosting account allows unlimited domain hosting, how do I add another so that I have a separate cpanel for it?

Or is it just put under the original domain and its cpanel? If that is the case how do I ensure that it appears under its url and not as a sub-domain of the original. Both will be wordpress blogs.

Hope someone can make sense of that!

Thanks.

Easy enough - you would add the second domain as an add-on domain and put all content in an assigned folder. So you could have domain1.com as your primary, then add a second domain to your account, domain2.com, for which all files would go in a folder such as public_html/domain2.

FYI, it would still be possible to view the add-on site as domain2.domain1.com, but it isn't necessary for that to be publicized. I don't think the search engines would file that unless you have pointers going to it.

...and you don't get a separate cPanel for it. These additional domains are all addons to your existing account, so management of them is all done through a single cPanel login.

To the outside world, however, there will be no indication that www.domain2.com is in any way connected to www.domain1.com. You're the only one who will know that the second one is an addon domain to the other.

Thanks for the info guys. Will try and move on that.

I've got an add on domain with bluehost. When you type the domain into the browser it gets redirected to the domain1.domain2.com format.

Can anyone tell me why this is happening, and what I can do to stop it happening? I'd like it to stay as domain2.com/ or domain2.com/whatever

I'd actually like to add another domain, and since the first one isn't very professional sounding I don't want it's name in the url bar!

You don't happen to have a domain forwarder in place? I would guess not but let's eliminate the obvious.

No, but I figured it out now.

I used to host the domain elsewhere, and I set up the wordpress blog to output to a subdomain before I transferred the domain accross. Now I've configured it correctly and it works fine, thanks anyway.
