    Hi,
    Suppose I have two web domain names registered:
    e.g.
    mydomain1.com
    mydomain1.org

    and I wish to point this at the one website, i.e. one hosting package. What is the easiest way to do this?

    Cheers

    not really sure what you're asking

    point out at the IP of the machine your hosting package is on

    in the hosting controel panel depending on what one it is you should be able to setup "virtual hosts"

    In your hosting control panel add the 2nd domain as a parked domain, sometimes its a good idea to set up redirection aswell.

    Contact your hosting provider.

    It shouldn't be hard to add the second domain to your account, but how it's done will vary depending on which control panel they are using

    I assume you have proper hosting, and most decent hosting providers have a good interface where you easily can set each domain's webspace.

    You simply create a folder on your webspace and set the home directory of both domains to that folder.

    Donal,
    Some people would consider your comment a bit rich coming from someone that leave both name, 2 email addresses as well as the 2 url's in their own signature. (See attached image of what webmonkeys signature looks like if you are not logged in to boards.ie)

    Hi there Blacknight,
    I am not sure if I have misunderstood the rules and welcome your input :)

    When joining the board.ie I went in under "Newbies & FAQ" and read the sticky regarding Signature Rules. (http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=60479)

    It was stated in that post that: "A subtle link to something you run online is fine."

    I was (based on above) lead to believe that I could insert my website url as a signature in my posts, or am I wrong ?

    G.
