Virtual Hosts …. The web server looks at the request header to figure out which domain you are looking for… common on Apache and other webservers….

I want them both hosted at GoDaddy. I want you to be able to type A.COM and that that webpage. I want to type B.COM and get that webpage. Not sure how that is possible if GoDaddy only allows one single IP for the hosted service.

I don't use them for hosting, but I manage my domains through them.

It said unlimited websites. That does not mean, it turns out, to be unlimited DNS to individual IPs. Not wanting a main page were you select the site you want to go to. I was wanting to have DNS direct the person to the webpage for a discrete company and I wanted to do that for as many domains as I own. But it appears, unless I have not yet figured it out, that I get one IP for one main domain. It allows sub domains but it does not appear to be able to make it go seamless directly to the sub domains. This is certainly a weak point for me. I can hand hack HTML if you point me to the correct directory on the right server but that is about it.
