Apologies if this has been discussed before, but I need a webhost which will map two domains which point to different folders
on my web space. I need both to use 'pure' URL masking.
Where can I get this pretty cheaply?
Thanks for your time

Free and somewhat reliable at http://mydomain.com
There are tow others but I don't know if they redirect or mask:
http://centalinfo.net
http://zonedit.com
AtlantaWebhost.com

What do you mean by "pure" URL mapping? Your host will need to be willing to insert a new VirtualHost statement in the Apache configuration file (assuming they use Apache). If they allow Apache Overrides (.htaccess) you can do the trick yourself. I have posted how this can be done previously, http://www.webhostingtalk.com/showthread.php?threadid=1878 .
I hope this helps. The path Chicken recommended (using a thirdparty forwarding service) will also work well.

Frank, I get the feeling that he really doesn't want a redirection (even if it is somewhat stealth via frame), and would rather have it added to the config file (like you said). I think he needs to contact his host.

Hey guys. I obviously didn't word my original post correctly :O)
What I meant was when I typed http://www.mydomain.com/cheese/cheese.html that would point to cheese.html on the server, not frames or simple forwarding.
Did I mention I don't actually have a web host ATM? :O)
I'm looking for someone who will host my site and domains, with the domains pointing to different folders.
Sorry for the confusion guys :O)
Cheers

Well, from the advertsing forum:

Really I don't know of any multiple domain hosts (no experience). You could get a host and use any of the suggestions above, or check out something like webauthorities.com (bulk domain plan). I know there were a few mentioned here, but I tried searching and couldn't find them.
