hello. so recently i just bought another domain name for a website i would like to develop. let's call that website "site 2" now. i purchased my plan with the domain "site 1." i understand how the URL forwarding goes. but it doesn't satisfy my needs (as of yet...) i want people to go to "site 2" without ANY traces of "site 1." so for example, when you right click on an image on "site 2," i don't want it to read "www.site1.com/images/image.jpg", or... "transfering data from www.site1.com" so using my godaddy account, can i have my site 2 STRICTLY site 2? so that my viewers won't know that there is any affiliation to "site 1" sorry if this is a bit confusing, or in the wrong spot. if it is, please move it. thank you so much in advance!
I've never used Godaddy as anything more than a domain host, so I have never used their actual apache hosting, but I'm presuming it'll be the same with them as most others... If you park the new domain to your account, it will leave no trace of site1 when loading site2... because all images etc will genuinely be loaded under site2's domain... With shared hosting, hundreds of people can host hundreds of websites on one server... yet they never reveal any domain other than the one loading (site2 in your case).. the only thing that will be the same is the IP, but that's irrelevant because all the other people on the same server as you will be on the same IP (unless they bought a dedi ip from godaddy ofcourse) Hope this clears things up!

yes. along with both the temporary and permanent option. i might be doing this wrong then... i have a basic index page "coming soon yada yada ya" on my "site 2" i have my "site 2" files in a "site 2" folder on my main "site 1" ftp. so i suppose that is why there are still remains of "site 1" coming up. i am a little new to this, but is there any way i can create a new database under my "site 1" that will be dedicated to my "site 2." that way there will be no "site 1" traces. this definitely sounds confusing, but please bare with me!
why do you forward your domain? use the same folder which has your forwarded site uses when you set it from hosting control panel.
i am sorry but i'm not really understanding what you're referring to (like i said, i'm incredibly new to this)
on your godadyd hosting panel, when you set hosting for your domains you have to set a folder for each domain.. If you set the same folder for 2 different domains then you'd not have to forward your domain..
bankthis123, please only make worthwhile posts... At least be constructive with your criticism. Zeni, you need to park the domain of site2 to a folder in the site1 directory (like you said, site2 folder is in site1's space)... You do this somewhere in the control panel for your hosting... Let's suggest "Park Domains" or "Manage Domains" or something (As I said before, I have never used GoDaddy for hosting..) Hope this helps Chuckun
it's making more and more sense thanks to UAA and Chuckun. thanks so much! i just added a new domain. here check the screenshot. i just did that 15 minutes ago, still pending, but i will give it time. am i going in the right direction here?
No worries, a pleasure to help you And thanks a lot for the rep - Im sure people usually forget it's there Congratulations
