I'm new to Lunarpages and I think that it's great that they offer so many capabilities for such a low price!

I've been going through all of the control panel options but I'm a little confused about a few things.

Here's what I want to do:

I have two domains, myname.net and myname.org.  I had myname.org parked at myname.net, but I've changed this to an add-on domain to myname.net and pointing to www.myname.net/org.  Is this the correct way to do this?

- I was under the impression that this would allow me to receive e-mail for both tom@myname.net and tom@myname.org.  Can this be done?  If so, what do I need to do to accomplish this (other than host myname.org separately)?  My eventual goal with e-mail is to have everyone in my family have their own e-mail address as name@myname.org.  Is this possible?  (Remember, the myname.org domain is an add-on domain.)  In the control panel, I was able to set up a tom@myname.org e-mail address when myname.org was parked at myname.net, but since I've changed it over to a add-on domain, I dont' have this option, only tom@org.myname.net.

- I want two sub domains, tom.myname.net and sue.myname.net.  I was under the impression that if I set up sub domains that I could access them at at www.tom.myname.net or tom.myname.net.  This doesn't seem to be working though.  I have them redirected to myname.net/tom and myname.net/sue.  There's an index.html file in each of those directories but they don't even display when I go to www.myname.net/tom or www.myname.net/sue.  My eventual goal here is to have everyone in my family have a Web page at theirname.myname.org.  Is this possible?  Again, remember that myname.org is an add-on domain.

- Will having myname.org, redirected to www.myname.net/org, allow me to browse to www.myname.org and will the address bar show as www.myname.org or www.myname.net/org?

I hope that this made sense!  Thanks!

If you don't set up a redirect, the subdomain will point to corresponding directory names in your public_html directory.  You need do nothing else, if that's where you want them.  DON'T set up redirects unless you want, say tom.myname.net to point to something besides public_html/tom

Actually, I do see a glitch.  I just tried to create a sub and it didn't work.  I have other subs working fine.  I'll get a letter to support.

Yeah, all my subs are working fine  

Don't think you can do subs for addons, though I'm not sure.  I tried to do one for one of mine and it didn't work.  That is, it just points to the root of the subdomain.  I tried a redirect, and that didn't work.

The subs are working fine, however, for my main domain.
