Is this possible?

I bought a domain, let's call it horses.com, then bought some server space from a host. After following their directions and changing the DNS, then FTP-ing my site, "horses.com" shows up correctly. Then, I bought another domain, let's call it bananas.com. It is unrelated to horses.com, but I have so much server space reserved for horses.com I'd like to use some of it for bananas.com. Is there a way the Host can host more than one domain? Say, for instance, can the user type in "Bananas.com" anc be directed to one of the horses.com pages (like horses.com/bananas) or something like that? If so, how do I set that up? Or, does each domain need it's own host, so to speak?

Any advice would be GREATLY appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
jinx

It is quite possible to do this. I've never done it myself, but I have cPanel in my hosting package, and it lets you do it in there. If you don't have a control panel that lets you do it, talk to the hosting company. They may or may not allow you to do it, though.

Thanks for the reply. I went to the CPanel of my hosting provider and saw a way to do it. I'm pretty happy with the results, just took some clicking around to get there....
