Multiple Web Sites on One Web Space

[toecutter]

I have web space with my isp and i have a publisher web site with only one page parked there that uses a registered domain name.

The file the page loads from is called index.htm

Is it possible to have 2 registered domain name web sites parked on the same web space?

If so what would the page name that loads the second web site be, as index.htm is already being used?

Most hosting services will allow you to use multiple domains and sites. They will create a new folder and point the domain to it.

I asked my isp about creating a new folder and they reckon they cant.

It may be correct as it is just web space and doesn't have a control panel to edit any options.

All i do with it is up load my publisher web site via filezilla

I also tried following this example which i found on goggle but filezilla doesn't have a cpanel to do this either.

Add-on Domain:
Uses a subdomain inside your first.com web space but behaves as a completely separate web site with its own primary domain url.
Example: Go to cPanel ->Add-On Domains. Set up addon domain second.com with the folder/username "second" (without quotes). cPanel automatically creates a folder called "second" in your web space complete with its own cgi-bin. You upload your pages into the "second" folder in your first.com web space using your normal first.com username and password. However, when people type http://www.second.com in their browser, they will see whatever new web site you uploaded into the "second" folder. They will also still of course see the usual first.com site if they type in http://www.first.com
When setting up an addon domain in cPanel, do NOT specify the www in the domain name, just type in "second.com" without the quotes.

What? It should only be a matter of putting the other website in a new folder and point to the specific site. I use webs.com to host my website for my web design course. I have my web setup like:

Main Site
_________>Folder
_________>Folder
index.html
_________>Folder
_________>Folder
_________>Folder
index.html

Edit:

Each of those sub folders would contain a new site with their own index page. I than link my original index page to the sub index pages.

Maybe its due to my index file extension being htm not html?

I don't understand how you link the original index file to the others.

Do you want multiple sites or just multiple domains pointing to the same site?

You are going to need separate accounts for different domains.

That should not matter.

I don't understand how you link the original index file to the others.

Put links on your main index page like so:

<A href="http://www.firstsite.com/secondsite/index.html" target="_blank" title="Second site">Second site</A>

Or are you after what dclamp suggested?

Moved to Gen Dev.

Your ISP should give you a control panel, you should be able to point both websites to the same folder. The page name stays the same too.

I would be happy for the new domain name to point to the existing one so ill give the company who i got the new domain through a call today.

thanks all for clearing this up for me.
