After reading this thread: http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=161762 I have decided to try a whack at the ASM2 script. Not being a programmer in any way (just dabble a bit), these are my questions: The script only requires PHP4 and mod-rewrite, which I have with my existing site. Would I be able to (a) add a new directory to my existing site and dump the script there (b) add a new subdomain & put it there (c) make an addon domain and put it there. First off, I don't understand the difference between and addon domain and a subdomain. So I guess that is my dumb question of the day. If I added the script to my existing files, would it affect the rest of my site? Should I just forget about going this route at all and have it hosted separately with another TLD name? It would be nice to integrate with my existing site since I get a good bit of traffic & sales from it. Thanks!
A subdomain looks like http://anewsubdomain.yoursite.com An addon domain would be a totally new domain which points to a folder on your existing hosting. I suspect all the options you listed will work just fine. mod_rewrite, used through a .htaccess file will just affect the folder it is in and any subfolders. The rest of your site would be unaffected.
In addition, addon domain requires you to own the domain. In your case, I would recommend a subdomain instead
