I have 200 megabyes of web space for my website..... lets say www.website.com and If i wanted to register a domain www.newsite.com is there a way to make my newsite use some of my current space? Reason i want to do this is to save money on personal web space if i have 200 mega bytes and i only use about 4 with my first site , i want to amke the most out of it....... how would i have to set the 2nd new domain up? to make it work right? the company i host with says you can do it, but they wont tell you how becuase that would hurt there revenue.. so there is a way i just dont know it.....

Simple, just add the following line of code to the index page of your new site, then when peaople enter your new domain name into their browser they will automatically be directed to your existing site. If however you want to have more than one website running in the same webspace i think that the best way to do this would be as so, still use the line of code below but add /index1.htm to the end of your existing domain name, then when you upload you new website to the existing webspace remember to rename your index.htm page to index1.htm What should happen then is that if someone types your existing domain name into their browser then they wiil go to your existing website as normal, but if someone types your new domain name into their browser they will be directed to the index page of your new site. Hope that this helps. Paul. <META HTTP-EQUIV="refresh" content="URL=http://www.website.com">

But would it work like this....... OK www.firstsite.com is up alreday which is index.html I have webspace for firstsite to log in though FTP but if i have 2 domains where do i upload the index file for the new site www.newsite.com how to i redirect the inital www.newsite.com to go to www.firstsite.com/index2.html?/ also i dont want visitors to have to type in www.newsite.com and then be fowarded to www.firstsite.com/index2.html becuase that would look corny

ok, from what you have said i am going to presume the following points. 1. You already own a domain name which as got some webspace with it and you have a wedsite up and running. 2. You have registered another domain name and you do not have any webspace with that. 3. You are attempting to upload your second site in to the same space as the first site. 4. You require that when someone enters your second domain name in to their browser that they are taken to your second site. If the above four points are correct then the company that sold you the second domain name should have some way of allowing you to redirect, this is normally in the form of a control panel, without being able to redirect then the domain name is no good. Also your point about redirection looking corny, well this happens all the time, ask youself this question, how many times do you type an address in to your browser and when you reach the site the address in the address bar has changed? It happens quite often and you can get around it by using url masking, but that another story. It seems to me know that after reading your first post that you have bought a domain name from someone who is reluctant to let you use someone else's webspace, if that is the case then you only have two options, either ask them what use the domain name is if redirection is not allowed or pay them to host your new website. If they do allow redirection, which I can see no reason why not, then the answer that I gave you in response no. 1 will work. All you have to do is redirect the new domain name to your old site but use a different index name such as index1.htm I hope that this helps you out.

yea that helps out alot, im with earthlinks o ill have to ask them if they can redirect the 2nd website to space from the 1st.
