  1. Does anyone have any info on how to host two seperate domain names on the same account using the domain pointer? For example, my main account is www.xyz.com and I have a subdirectory with another application in it. I want to direct all www.abc.com traffic to the subdirectory of www.xyz.com where the applocation is hosted, but still show www.abc.com in the address bar. I have looked, and am not sure where to get more info, so if you post something, instead of telling me to do a search, I would certianly appreciate a reference to an actual page.

    Much thanks for your time!

    You can use the Root Domain Pointer addon to point abc.com to your main xyz.com account. Then you can programically redirect to the subfolder. Users will see the abc.com domain.

  5. I've spent the last day or so looking at all of the posts on the forum regarding domain pointers. I'm a DASP customer and I'd dearly love to be able to host a second site, (small site with less than 3 pages) on my shared account. I'm using .NET webpages with C#. I've bought a domain pointer for my second URL and I wanted to know if there is any way, at all, to have that domain name working with a folder/application I've created on my root account. Is there any clever way I could use a http handler or edit the web.config file, or even a redirection script that would stop the web address changing, so the user still thinks they are on the 2nd URL.

    Response.Redirect script isn't really going to do the job as the url changes, what I would like is just a little magic that prevents the domain name changing drastically. Any ideas?

    cheers
