I have a question. I'm not sure if its possible but, I was wondering if it would be possible to have two domain names but have one direct a user to a sub-directory of the main. For example, I buy a domain named www.gray.com. Then I make a directory on that. Named say, black. So it becomes www.gray.com/black/. Would it be possible to have a totally new www domain name that goes to the directory "/black"? I saw the option "Sub-domain" under the package features, but, I wasn't sure what that is exactly. I need to know this because I'de really like to share my webspace with a family member. Thats why I need two domain names for each of our individual webpages.

Thanks all that answer!  "[Big

That feature will be enabled in the near future. You will be informed of it.  "[Smile]"

Might I ask when?  "[Smile]"  

Oh, and what does the "sub-domain" feature mean, anyways? Just curious  "[Wink]"

Sub-domains have a different first-level name, instead of www.

So, if you have www.mydomain.com and you want:
pictures.mydomain.com

Make a directory in your public_html directory called pictures.

In your Control Panel, go to subdomains.

Make a subdomain called pictures.mydomain.com

The server will see the folder with the same name, and automatically make that the virutal root of your new subdomain, pictures.mydomain.com.

Sometimes you have to enable subdomains by sending an email to support@lunarpages.com so that they can enable the feature on your site.

Is there a charge for subdomain activation, or is that just an included, administrative detail?

Thanks,

It should be included. Login to your control panel and you will be able to set it up from there.
