Can I have a domain (like www.domain.com) point to a folder on my web server, like (www.server.com/d

I%26#039;d like to run another website on my web server. I want to use at least two unique domains. Basically, if someone enters the new domain, say domain.com, it%26#039;s really accessing a folder on my server (say server.com/domain/, but the url looks like the user is on the domain.com website. I don%26#039;t have web hosting software that manages multiple accounts like a professional reseller web host. Is there something I setup with the domain name company, and use like a %26quot;virtual host%26quot; or something like that?

It depends on what you%26#039;re referring to when you say %26quot;my server%26quot;.



Are we talking about a physical machine at your location? If so, then a specific answer will depend on the software. If Apache, then you%26#039;ll want to learn the directives and look at the files in the %26quot;conf%26quot; directory.

If we%26#039;re talking about a web hosting account, then if you have cPanel, you%26#039;ll want to look at the Add-on Domain and possibly Parked Domain features.

research iis



Other Replys:For example.



If you have a website



%26quot;www.myweb.com/me%26quot;



and you own a website name like: %26quot;www.me.com%26quot;



then you can forward %26quot;www.me.com%26quot; to %26quot;www.myweb.com/me%26quot; through the company that you pay to own the domain name and park the site (like GoDaddy for example).



Other Replys:You might want to learn about virtual hosting - each %26quot;domain%26quot; is in a separate folder, drive, wherever you want it.
