    Heye All,

    I badly need help, just came here to get your help.....

    I bought a new Deluxe hosting with godaddy, that supports multiple website, everything was fi9, i also registered a domain say "Domain1.com" , now since i could have multiple domains on the account I purchased another domain say "Domain2.com" , I pointed that domain to directory --> "RootDirectory/Domain2" , uptil here everthing is fi9, when I type in my browser "domain2.com" it take me to my 2nd website, which is exactly what I wanted, but here comes a problem, on the site "Domain2.com" if I try to click on a link say "http://domain2.com/?page_id=2" instead of this the browser shows a link like this "http://Domain1.com/domain2/?page_id=2" , means it shows a complete address from the root directory, I dont know what to do, please help, I just bought the domain today, and I am writing this now, because I have done and searched everything I could but of no use! :s

    Contact their support, in about 48 hours they will get reply. Maybe sooner for technical issues.

    Their hosting is sort of reliable (got few glitches few weeks ago).

    I think you have to point your domain to "/Domain2" and not "RootDirectory/Domain2". In my account I do like that and everything is fine.

    Godaddy requires you to fill these 2 datas:
    Domain:"yourdomaindotcom"
    Folder:"/foldername"

    Where "foldername" is the name of folder that resides in your root directory. If you have done these 2 steps correctly then it should be working properly. If not you have to contact hosting.

    Could you give the url.

    You have to point the a record of your domain to your hosting IP. Then you must go to the hosting manager.
    Inside hostingmanager go to domainmanager. There you should point the new domains to a directory.

    Hope i helped. I hate godaddy with all their spam and no cpanel hehe. Good luck because in beginning godaddy can be hell.

    I dropped godaddy because of their poor support. had massive problems this year (none before) and the speed was always crappy.
    We switched to slicehost and we are pretty happy with it. But you have to know to manage a linuxbox :D
