If I already have site1.com and then I park the domain name site2.com on it, what address does someone visiting site2.com see?

What is it that you're trying to achieve with your domain name tomfoolery?

i own site1.com with a hosting package.

i also own the site2.com domain name. this one is the problem.
in an effort to save money, the site2.com website is hosted on the site1.com package.

until recently i have web-forwarding from site2.com to site1.com, which has been working fine. people don't even see the site1.com domain name, which is good.

unfortunately, now google has removed site2.com from their index. apparently this is because they don't like web forwarding. i'm told the "solution" is to park something somewhere.

but if i understand it, if i 'park' site2.com on site1.com then site1.com will be the domain name everyone sees, which is not what i want.

i can't see a solution except getting a separate hosting package for site2.com, although this seems ridiculous as i only use the site1.com hosting package for email (and hosting site2.com!)...

can you put a soft link on the site1 website to its own top-level page, that the site2 address points to?

index2.htm -> index.htm

< a > href="index2.htm" > site2 < / a >
