I have a domain http://www.example.com this all works fine. My Problem, I built a site for my wife and her domain name is http://www.example2.com if I point to that address no problem site appears fine.
My issue that I need to get resolved is if I navigate to any other page so lets say LINKS which should be:
http://www.example2.com/links.htm
it appears as:
http://www.example.com/example2/links.htm
...and if I try to manually point to this site I get the "This page cannot be displayed" message and the blurb about DNS errors etc.,
As somebody who is a virtual newcomer to site building my main area of concern is that my host tells me that I can resolve this by using frames to build my site. I need to know is it possible to resolve this issue without using FRAMES as...
A) I am not taught in frames (being self taught!)
B) I don't actually want to go through the process of learning!
CAN ANYBODY HELP?
PLEASE
regards
Sean

[edit reason] use example.com [/edit]
so: you have www.example.com and www.xyzexample.com hosted on the same server. But xyzexample.com has navigation links that points to www.example.com/xyzexample/
It sounds like your second domain is not actually hosted but just forwarded. A request for xyzexample.com has the content from example.com/xyzexample/ returned.
Your host mentions frames as a way to hide this.
It is a bad idea. If the website is important to you, you should get it hosted correctly - with its own space - or your current package should be able to redirect in such a way as to allow links to be displayed correctly. Hosting for static, small sites is very cheap if your current host can't do it then move somewhere else.

Unfortunately, if you don't want to pay someone to do this for you, you will need to learn something - frames are easy. Learning how to setup domain names correctly and forward requests correctly is much harder - though this is what you should be paying your host for...
But change it to example.com of course...
