So I'm new to LunarPages. I recently purchased a plan with a shiny new domain name and there was an option to add another (at a price)... So obviously I took it. Now I can see both domains in the manage/register domains section of my account but I'm not sure how to edit the second domain. Is it possible?
PS - Sorry for my lack of experience. This is my first site ever and I'm teaching myself web design on my own so I have some gaps in my knowledge.

One domain will be your primary domain. It should automatically be available at http://www.yoursite.com, and the files are in /home/ACCOUNT/public_html/. If you purchased additional domain(s), you would probablly have to explicitly add them as "add-on domains". Your control panel (cPanel or LPCP) has an entry to do this. You might have to use the domain name management system to "point" the second domain to the same LP nameserver as the primary, if it hasn't already been done for you. At this point you will have http://www.yoursecondsite.com available, and the files will be in /home/ACCOUNT/public_html/yoursecondsite/. Don't forget that it may take a day or two for any change to domain name management to be recognized by your browser (the change has to spread across the DNS system).

For SEO purposes, I would suggest creating two separate and unique websites that have links to each other. I read that having multiple domains pointing to the same destination can actually be bad for SEO.

Also it wouldn't hurt to have two websites geared toward the same nitch, this way you have twice a better chance of generating traffic/business  Thumbs Up

I would like to that separate domain registration on your website.
