I currently have a website hosted with one hosting provider along with a good hosting plan that allows multiple subdomains. I have another domain name registered with another company that is currently parked and would like to host it as an independent site on my existing hosting plan. I've created a directory with the site content and now I need to point/forward the the domain name to the host's server.
I thought I would use Domain Pointing (changing the nameservers address) and point to the proper subdirectory but when I went to make the change, it also allows Domain Forwarding and I'm not sure if that would work instead. I did some research on the web and it sounds like in Domain Forwarding the domain's host (for lack of a better word) sets up a blank web page and loads the redirected site which may add extra time and cause SEO issues.
Here is what I'm trying to do: www.newsite.com -> www.existingsite.com/newsite
Any thoughts about one way over the other?
I would like it to look like the user was really on newsite.com.
Thanks in advance. Tom
