Parked domain question

Just have a little question about parked domains. Is a parked name able to point to a subfolder? I don't wan't it to point directly to where my original domain name is directed to, but a subfolder so that I could be running two seperate websites with one host? Is this unethical? Sorry if it is a dumb question.

Add it as an addon domain

But what if the host only allows for parked domains and not add-on domains?

As Nirvana said, this would be an addon domain. If you create an addon domain with the domain of yahoo.com it would create a folder in your public_html called yahoo etc. You would then upload the files there. Visitors wouldn't even notice it was an addon domain.

Most hosts should allow addon domains. I do not understand why some charge for them since they are virtually free. If you need a host that allows addon domains, check out my signature.

Well, if your host doesn't allow addon domains, then I guess you are out of luck... Its just an alternative to the namecheap park, you can't actually use the domain...

I could probably request that they allow add-on domains with my service for a small fee. If do get it, would there be any disadvantages to going this way instead of buying seperate hosting for the new domain?

Rim, who are you currently hosted by if you don't mind me asking.

I am using a company called Iborderliner. Yes they may be cheap, but to my surprise they have been a great host for over a year now with my poultry website.
