I have some concerns with hosting an external URL. I have these two websites www.example.com and www.example2.com and my question is, is it possible for www.example2.com to launch if ever I click on www.example.com/store/ url with the url name unchanged meaning it wont change to www.example2.com?

scenario:

step : when I click on www.example.com/store/

result: the contents of www.example2.com shows up but without changing the url name(the url will still be www.example.com/store/)

I appreciate your opinion on this if it's a possible scenario. And by the way these websites are hosted by godaddy. Can this be done on doing some server settings or can be done by htaccess?

Thanks,

Do I understand that you wish to create a duplicate-content problem and have your two domains compete with each other for search ranking -- with a page from one or the other showing up, and the other relegated to much lower ranking or the Supplemental Index, and Google (not you) deciding which page will show up?

This sounds like a bad plan, and I'm somewhat hesitant to help in implementing it. If you insist, see Apache mod_proxy, and look into the "reverse proxy" function.

However, I suggest that you pick one domain and promote only that one domain. Permanently redirect all pages on the other domain to the same pages on the preferred domain. Half the work, twice the actual (linear, not logarithmic-scale toolbar display) PageRank. Better ranking, more clicks.
