One hosting + two domains + two languages = HOW?

[Buum]

Hi guys!


I just bumped on this great site searching solution for my problem with multilanguage & multidomain site. I've read ultra useful thread " What is the best way to create multi-lingual sites?" (http://forums.searchenginewatch.com/showthread.php?t=1156) but haven't found solution for my problem.

I have 2 domains (www.masoyamaclub.com and www.masoyama.org.yu) and one hosting provider for both of them and I want to make English (for .com doman) and Serbian (for .org.yu domain) version of the site.

My hosting provider says that I have to put some script to determine which domain user typed into address bar of the browser.

Can anyone help me with this issue? Please, keep in mind that this is my first site nad that I'm new to Web development and SEO.


Best regards and thanks in advance!

Some hosts will let you simply run multiple domains off one account. I have one account like that and I simply put my different language sites into different folders on their servers. Then I configure the different domains to point to their respective folder. You'll have to get help from your host about how to do this as services vary from one host to another.

Thanks a lot for the help. :)

Having them point to the folders in the main directory (home for the same DNS) is the best way to go and if the hosts can help you go that way.

If they can't set up multiple folders in the account, you have to find another hosting solution that will or see if the host can point each domain to separate pages... one to index.html the other to home.html in the main folder... then you just have to name the pages differently and not have duplicate page names... too much of a hassle, if host doesn't come to the party find another host.
