    Default 2nd Domain onto BlueVoda

    Hello, there, I have have a .com domain that I want to transfer to bluevoda. Currently have the .net page already set via bluevoda. The question(s) is should I make it a subdomain? Seperate domain? I want to have the .com as my merchant side of the busienss and .net as the information side.

    Thoughts?

    Yes like Mr. MaGoo says, you need to add this as an add on domain

    A sub-domain is created when you do not have or did not purchase another domain name and a sub-domain is part of a main domain .. a sub-domain would have your main domain in the url ...
    example would be if I had a bicycle shop on my waterski site .. the url would look like bicycles.waterski.com/nameofpage.html

    You might seek the advice from Bethers, but you need to be careful with duplicate content from one site to another - sounds like you know what you are doing, and if you think one site's content will be diluted with info or each site containing too much of the same, you might instead consider loading up the one site and then just redirecting the .net to the .com site instead .. Bethers will be around for some good advice with this ..

    Thanks everyone. Yeah, I was wondering about that subdomain. Similar to the geocities/myspace of doing business. Thanks again. I will have to contact Bethers.

    That is a worry about posting info, but I figured the .com will be only for sales anyways.. and the about us page can be directed to the .net side. Make things in seperate sections.

    Why don't you do it all on the one domain? If you do want to use both - make sure you have completely different content on both- and I actually would recommend it not be on the same server - but have it's own hosting - so that it doesn't look like 2 websites doing the same.

    But, again, my question is why are you using 2 different websites - when you can easily add the information to the .com and make it even that much more valuable?

    I was just wondering the same thing with the business because I am all for 1 site since, you see who will be doing the website... lol. The answer is that this other site will be a division of the parent company. Our main company is an event management company that provides family entertainment and installations for businesses. The .com will be for the sales of items that are in our area of knowledge and it will be different with what its trying to accomplish.

    The .com will be more like an online business sales website will end up looking or feel. The .net will be mainly information for bookings, rentals, and so on.

    But you also suggest to have on a separate hosting server?

    OK, now it makes sense to have 2 websites. And, no, in this case having a 2nd account probably isn't necessary. IF the 2 sites will be competing for keywords, etc - and IF you will be putting lots of the same information on both sites, then, I would recommend a 2nd account not on the same server. However, I don't think you'll have a problem from what you just said.
