Please bear with me if this is the gazillionth time someone has asked this question...

I have a LP site..    http://www.332vfg.com/default.htm  This site is for my hobby. I also play bass in a band and I have been asked to put up a basic web page for the band.. Is there a way for me to get the band page up without the 332vfg.com in the url? Our band leader has already purchased a domain name and wants me to use that.. so what I want to do s set it up so that it says http:..... www.thebandsdomain.org. without the 332vfg in there at all... How would I do that? I am not an experienced web builder.. so as I said please bear with me if this a silly question.

Hi,

You could set it us as an Addon Domain on the 332vfg.com account. As an Addon Domain it will resolve to its own URL (i.e. http://www.thebandsdomain.org). http://wiki.lunarpages.com/Addon_Domains

Although it can still be access manually through the 332vfg.com primary domain,  you can "block" this URL for resolving using your .htaccess files and a rewrite.

OK.. It has been a while since I last worked on this.. but I am on vacation for a week and I am determined to get this done once and for all.. Now I have worked up a few basic pages..  I have added the bandsite.org domain to the hobbysite.com site... but I still cant get the bandsite.org url to be the primary one. It still says http://www.hobbysite.com/bandsite/index ...

I know this is probably something simple that I am missing..  I will look around here a bit more.. and come back to this thread to see if someone has spotted it .. thanks in advance ..

I don't see that either of the sites you mentioned, bandsite.org and hobbysite.com being hosted here. At least they are not using our nameservers.

You may want to send an email to support@lunarpages.com so we can check it for you. Make sure you include your current account username.

Oh those were ficticious names.. as an example..

Here is the actual site..

Band site: http://www.332vfg.com/abbapraiseministry/index.html

hobby site: http://www.332vfg.com/default.htm

 I would like it to just read the domain name of abbapraiseminstry.org. ... Will I have to do that through the domain site? I tried gthe add on donmain.. but tyhe url still contains the original site.. thats what I am trying to get rid of.. the redirec6t feature didnt work too well for me.. but perhaps I was doing it wrong..

Did you change the DNS entries for abbapraiseministry.org to "point" to the same nameservers as do the entries for 332vfg.com? It doesn't appear that you did.

If you added abbapraiseministry.org as an "add-on" domain, within 24 to 72 hours you should see that address start resolving to your site. It's not instantaneous when you change DNS settings -- it has to propagate around the world. All you can do is be patient.

After all this, when your domain finally does resolve to your site, there's a chance that it will show up in the browser location bar as either http://www.332vfg.com/abbapraiseministry or http://abbapraiseministry.332vfg.com. Those can be fixed. Do not use cPanel redirection. Period. It's broken when dealing with subdomains and add-on domains. You have to manually code the .htaccess file. I don't know if LPCP redirection works.

As MrPhil  mentioned, I don't see that the nameservers have been set correctly to resolve to your account here. That domain should be using the same nameserver set as your 332vfg.com domain. At this time I am seeing them pointed to;

Name Server:NS1.NAMERESOLVE.COM
Name Server:NS2.NAMERESOLVE.COM
Name Server:NS3.NAMERESOLVE.COM
Name Server:NS4.NAMERESOLVE.COM

I have resolved the server issues.. does anyone know how to do the hta access file fix since the CP redirect doesnt work properly.. and thanks for all the help thus far BTW.. ? I have so much going on I have to grab time when I can to get this done..  The vacation I mentioned in my previous post a few weeks back? LOL.. Between the honey dos, the daddy dos and the gotta do NOWS.. I didn't get much done on the website...
