Multiple domain names on 1 account

I have 1 account on discountASP.NET and 2 different domain names.
Is it possible to point these 2 names to 2 different subfolders on my account? What should I do for this?

Thanks.

 

Apparently not. See this thread:
forum.discountasp.net/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=193

Not sure how you missed it...

 

And i thought that they'd enabled this

http://forum.discountasp.net/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=90

would be a good idea (for us users anyway) but I'd also understand if they didn't implement it

 

"We do not provide any service that will direct different domain name to different dir."

Forgive the obvious question - but why not?

Well that was a needlessly snide response--and the thread isn't even relevant. The question is about multiple domains, not sub-domains. I have a personal and a business domain. Sub-domains don't help. Sounds like the poster is in the same position. Something tells me that ibm.gerstner.com just is the same as www.ibm.com.

If it technically isn't possible to support 2 domains on the same hosting account here, perhaps you can offer current customers with multiple domains an extra-deep discount on multiple hosting accounts. It would be an easy sell, and there would be virtually no customer acquisition costs. Of course the extra-deep discount would have to be extra-deep. Just a thought.

 

This CAN be done, I have done it:

Request a domain pointer from DiscountASP, to point your domain to account root. Then, put code like this in your default page:

 

I've have this done, but I use two different hosts, although one doesn't host, or cost, anything. When I started my site discountASP didn't have .biz names. My real domain, which they host, is real long, so I wanted a shorter .biz domain. When I purchased the .biz domain at BuyDomains.com they offer domain forwarding. I turn it on to point to my .com site. It also forwards emails the same way. If you use it, the only cost is the domain name since they don't host anything.

 

I have done the same thing with my domain names registered with GoDaddy.com. They will forward requests to whatever URL you choose (for free). I can have http://myseconddomain.com requests forward to http://myfirstdomain.com/seconddomain/default.htm and mask the fact that it was forwarded. Its actually pretty cool.

Alfageek,

Thanks for you post so I can have www.kewlgames.com (not real) point to www.mydiscountaspnet.com domain and in the users browser they see www.kewlgames.com and will not know the difference is this correct? If so thanks since I use Godaddy.com I will give it a shot.
