Topic: Can you host multiple websites?

[little bark, BIG BYTE!!]

Just trying to pick up the slack , I see Dan's frustration and agree whole heartedly that we all need to look in the manual first, then search the forums and then ask our questions of the community . . .  A lesson I still have problems with myself at times.

Technically speaking, your primary web site is always linked to any ibay, including those that are virtual domains.

For example:

http://mydomain.com/ points to the primary web site.
http://myvirtual.com/ points to an ibay called virtual.

I can further access this virtual domain indirectly via http://mydomain.com/virtual/

So, I would say that the primary site is somewhat connected to all virtual domains and their web sites by virtue of the ibay system.

Is there a way to prevent this from happening?  Would there ever be a need to prevent this from happening?  I don't know...
