My hosting company seems very reasonable and helpful. I am allowed up to 5 parked domains and 5 add ons. I was able to set up the parked domain easily via cPanel. I have set up an email account on the parked domain. I note for example that if I type in the new domain name into my browser bar I get taken to the original domain name, and that name appears in the browser bar. My emails however show the new domain name. I also am wondering if I can FTP to the parked domain. Since it is redirected to the original domain I suppose that won't work. Would I have better facilities using an add on domain? Neil -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/listfaq
