I also own mydomain2.com
Having bought hosting, they allow me unlimited subdomains. Problem is, I want mydomain2.com (subdomain) NOT to look like this:
www.mydomain2.mydomain.com
Is there a way that I can make it so that people can just type in www.mydomain2.com and it will go to my subdomain? Or am I stuck with making them type this funky-looking URL?
Thanks for the advice.
A subdomain is by definition, dependent on the domain. Therefore, you can only have mydomain2.mydomain.com, because mydomain2 is actually inside mydomain.com
mydomain2.com is a domain name, not a subdomain. Therefore, in order to use mydomain2.com, you would have to register/buy that domain name too. This is the only way you would be able to redirect your users when they type mydomain2.com.
You could add url-forwarding to mydomain2.com, and have it go to mydomain2.mydomain.com. A user could type in mydomain2.com and would arrive at mydomain2.mydomain.com.
Hope this helps :)
If you have Cpanel and your adding your second domain, then although it will be shown in the details as mydomain2.mydomain.com, and it is reffered to as a subdomain, it will still be available via your browser as mydomain2.com
Confusing if it's the first time you've used Cpanel
