That sounds like standard practice to me. &nbsp;You have to tell the 'nameserver' which folder is the root for each site. &nbsp;All of my web hostings including three on Godaddy have multiple sites in subdirectories off the main root and it is the DNS/nameserver that needs to know where the root directory for each site is.

Dave: So I need to put in a forwarder?
</div>


<div>
Dave: The document root is / for the first domain. Then as I add domains it asks me if I was to add a folder for the file that append the root - /seconddomain, if I do this then the URL is <a href="http://www.firstdomain.com/seconddomain" rel="ugc">www.firstdomain.com/seconddomain</a>, if I ignore this and accept the default I see both the first domain and second domain as the same address/template.
</div>


<div>
Sorry, you're doing it wrong then. &nbsp;I have a dozen or so extra domains on my hosting accounts and when I add them, I put in the subdirectory that they reside in and the DNS/nameservers find them without the name of the main domain. &nbsp;I can however, go to them using the method you describe because they are in subdirectories.

What is your host, &quot;economy&quot;, &quot;deluxe&quot; or &quot;ultimate&quot;?

So I have installed one site which occupies the root folder. I'm trying to install setup a second but if I use the default settings in cPanel which are root when I look at the two different websites I'm actually looking at the same site. If I create a folder off of root, as recommended, then then the site is something like <a href="http://www.secondsite.com/newfolder" rel="ugc">www.secondsite.com/newfolder</a>&nbsp;rather than <a href="http://www.secondsite.com" rel="ugc">www.secondsite.com</a>&nbsp;<br />
<br />
How do I set this up so I see <a href="http://www.secondsite.com" rel="ugc">www.secondsite.com</a>&nbsp;as the address?

Web Development

A web server refers to the software that helps to deliver web content that can be accessed either through the Internet or through an intranet. The primary function of a web server is to store, process and deliver web pages to clients. The communication between client and server takes place using the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP). The most common use of web servers is to host websites, but there are other uses such as gaming, data storage, running enterprise applications, handling email, FTP, etc.
