A question on hosting two domains at one host

Hope I can explain this correctly.

Lets say I have www.anydomainyoulike.co.uk. My mate is really skint just now and although he's registered a different domain of his own he can't afford any hosting.

My hosting (todhost) says I have a number of sub-domains. Could I set up a small site for him on my webspace somewhere which would be "active" if someone types in his web address? At the same time hopefully not showing it's hosted on my space?

Does that make sense?? :confused:

You need to ask your provider about 'host headers'. Same web space - two domains.

If you have cPanel, use addon domains. Get him to point his domain's nameservers to your server then create the addon domain. It will set up a directory in your site root which will be his without others knowing, however they can still see nameservers via a lookup - but that shouldn't be a problem.
