This is what you need. This way you can host all your sites with just one hosting account (depending of course on your total number of visitors). So if your host allows that, how do you do it? 1. Add a new domain name and folder like: myWebsite2.com to your hosts control panel 2. Create a subfolder with the same name under you root folder 3. Since you want to keep your domain name you just need to change its domain name servers to your new host like: ns1.yournewhost.com ns2.yournewhost.com ns3.yournewhost.com and that's it. Now your sites will be totally separate websites (like they're hosted on two separate accounts) P.S. I recommend you to transfer that domain or even both of them to some 3rd part domain registrar like Godaddy or Namecheap, as that will make any future switching of hosts a lot easier. P.P.S. If your new host doesn't support multiple domain hosting you have to switch hosts. I recommend one of these: Powweb is on a 50% sale - $3.88/month ($46.56/year), and you get a free domain from them. Godaddy doesn't offer a free domain, but you can get one for $2.19 if you're buying hosting from them, plus they also have a 20% sale at the moment.
