If as indicated your being hosted on a shared hosting service then the admins of the shared hosting service will need to set up a second virtual host account with the domain name of the second required domain and point it to the same web location as the primary domain. If you are not able to do either of these, there is a third alternative: us a service (example; http://freedns.afraid.org or http://www.dyndns.com ) to do simple web forwarding with a cloaked domain name. I do that myself on several sites that I manage. then when someone types in the domain2 name they see domain1 name in their browser location bar. Good Luck! frosty
