I am having trouble browsing the Vidahost site so I apologise if this is a silly question but I can't find the info on there.

I already own a domain name on a starter package with vidahost. Its a personal site about projects I am doing, however, I'd like to add a photography website to the webspace as well under its own domain name.

Is it possible to have www.myname.co.uk & www.mybusinessname.co.uk on the same web space package? and if so how?

Or am I just going to have to purchase a second account?
 
I have the next one up, the starter package, it says I can host up to 6 sites. I just keep getting problems loading their site, pages start to load and the never actually do :(
 
Ah right. Just drop them a mail, they've always got back to me really quickly. I'm sure they'll talk you through it.
 
My vidahost starter pack comes with an allowance for 5 addon domains, hopefully you should have the same. :)
Don't forget to update your NS data on the domain to point to Vidahost.
 
I've managed to add the 2nd domain to the webspace as an addon domain, but have no idea how to update NS data, going to have to do some googling :)

Domain is registered with 123.

Thanks for everyone's replies :)
 
Tell me the solution please! Becasue I am about to do the same.

Edit:
Sorted. Change the A Name (IP) and Nameservers to point to your vidahost, then do the addon domain with Vidahost and point to the directory you want.

Worked for me. It can take 24-48 hours to change the DNS entry with 123-reg though.

You don't need to change the A name, just the nameservers will do.
 
I emailed Vidahost coz I managed to ban my IP due to Filezilla reentering the wrong password 3 times in a row, damn retry :D.

3 minutes later, response, unbanned, very very pleased. Excellent host!
