I am trying to use 2 different domains, petersharp.tv and puppetfactory.tv to go to 2 seperate websites on my 1 account.

if you type in petersharp.tv it goes to one website
if you type in puppetfactory.tv it goes to a different website

all while under the same host account. Is it possible to do this?

Yep, all of my sites in my signature are all on the same account. markheadrick.com is my main domain and the other likes pelicar.info are add-on domains. The add-on domain's root folder is a directory below root folder of the main domain. /public_html/ is the root folder of my main domain and /public_html/pelicar/ is the root folder for my pelicar.info domain.

can you please tell me how you did this? I am having trouble. I tried using the add on option in my Cpanel but I get an error everything. Maybe im not filling in the options correctly.

You must first change the Name Servers for your add-on domain to match that of your primary domain wherever your domains are registered (GoDaddy, Enom, Surpass, Network Solutions, etc..). You should use the name servers that Surpass sent you for your server.

Until this is done, creating the add-on domain will fail in cPanel. I am going under the assumption that you have already registered both of those domains with some registrar. My suspicion is that this is the reason that it is failing.

I am having a similar problem. I just purchased a new domain and have all the dns in GoDaddy to be the same as my first domain. My problem is I don't want to use the domain anymore...and want to completely delete it from my cpanel and replace it with a new domain. Any suggestions???

To delete the domain from your hosting account, just go to "Addon Domains" and find the option to remove the domain (it is a drop down, make sure it is showing the domain you want ot remove). By doing this, the addon domain is removed. Now, say if you want to just replace it (so this new domain points to the website you made) just make sure the directory created by that addon domain is entered when adding the new one.

Or, if you mean you want to delete the primary domain (the one that you signed up with), you'll have to contact support to change it. If this is within the first 30 days of your account, i believe it is a "FREE" change, but if not, then it is $15 one time fee. This fee is to prevent abuse/high demand.

You don't have to change the main domain, just add the new as an addon-domain and leave the main one wrong. It's what I do so I have a neater public_html/domains rather than fies and domains...

What is the difference between an add-on domain and a sub-domain? I need to set up a completely different website from my main site and I'm not sure how to proceed.

puckchaser

add-on is a separate domain.. but is also a sub domain of the main domain.
