Probably easy question regarding hosting & domains.....

Okey dokey...

I want to set up a couple of blogs - one for my general use, and another so that far-flung relatives acn keep up to date about my baby (due any day now....)

However, I dont necessarily want any link between the two - the last thing Great Aunty Maud wants is to read my ****** and blinding about George Bush

So is it possible, with one hosting account and two domains?

Ie If womeone goes to www.thebabyblog.com it will direct to one blog, but www.visage-rant.com will go to another blog hosted on the same service?

Cheers.

So if i registered www.some-domain.com and also www.somother-domain.com then I could run both sites entirely seperatly from a single account?

I was looking at the vds option from *********, using Wordpress.

http://www.*********.net/vds.php

Would that do it?

Thats not seperate though as although www.addondomain.com will redirect to the subdomain, when you are clicking links within the page, you will be visiting http://addondomain.maindomain.com rather than http://www.addondomain.com

Yeah. I think i understand now.

I have one domain that points to one directory in my hosting package, and then I have another domain that points to another directory, and never the twain shall meet.

Easy peasy, innit ?
