There is a similar question in another thread, but I would like clarification.  This is how I understand it:

I have a family domain, say jonesfamily.org.  My sister, who is married has a domain, say smithfamily.org.  I want to create a subdomain called smithfamily.jonesfamily.org, and point smithfamily.org to that subdomain.  As I understand it, this will cost an additional $2.50/month.  

- Will people who go to www.smithfamily.org, which is really www.smithfamily.jonesfamily.org, see www.smithfamily.org in their browser address bar?  

- Will all other pages in www.smithfamily.org show www.smithfamily.org/<whatever> in the address bar?

- Will my sister and brother-in-law be able to receive e-mail at mary@smithfamily.com and bill@smithfamily.com?

TIA!

Now that I'm thoroughly confused...

You can point another domain to a directory in your account (right, Admin?)

This would basically be another set of files in that directory.

If you want both domains to point to the exact same content, then they would both point to your public_html.

If you want to create a subdomain, the easiest way is to create a directory that has the 1st level name of the subdomain.  In your case, a directory called smithfamily.

Then create a subdomain smithfamily.jonesfamily.com, and it will automatically point to the directory of that name.

As far as more than one domain, just send an email to support@lunarpages.com and they'll answer any questions you have as far as pricing.
