Hello....I have 2 reseller accounts with 2 different hosts. The first host set up an addon domain for me for one of my websites. Works the way I want it, so the pointed domain is invisible. I don't want visitors to see the pointed domain urls, only the other site urls.

I'd like to do the same thing only with 2 other domains on my second reseller account. I asked their support about addon domains and parked domains and they say using a parked domain is better. Support said to park the domain and add this into the .htaccess of the site where the pointed domain is parked on....

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST}!^www\.DOMAIN\.com [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST}!^$
RewriteRule ^/(.*) [DOMAIN.com...] [L,R]

Would this method work as I need it to? Also would I need to delete the account in WHM for the domain before I park it?
Once I park the domain, edit .htaccess....will the pointed domain work right away? My nameservers are already used for both domains.

I believe email is still available with addon domains, but is email available with parked domains?

Thanks for any help :)
