    This is really difficult to understand. I'm going to use few words and perhaps try to get to the bottom of this.

    citysite.com = Main site (with wp-hive installed)
    (at my host [1and1], it is in a Home Directory which means wordpress is installed in /CitySite). So when I type the domain, it takes me to the domain.

    I have other domain names that I would like add:

    cityalumni.com
    cityshipping.com
    cityfirst.com

    At my host I can make it a Home Directory, which means if you type cityalumni.com it goes to that site or I can forward it using a "Frame redirect" or an "HTTP redirect."

    Ideally, my domain cityalumni.com would install somewhere like citysite.com/cityalumni - does this make sense?

    If true:

    1. How do I "add" the new site?

    Domain Name:
    Sub Directory:
    Prefix:

    Is it:

    Domain Name: cityalumni.com
    Sub Directory: /cityalumni
    Prefix: alumni_ (or wp2_)

    Is that correct?

    2. Where do I point the domain to?

    Does it point to /NewarkSite, newarksite.com, or something else?

    Thank you.

    You do not want to 'redirect' using "Frame redirect" or an "HTTP redirect". Ask your host if they can "Point" the domain to the same folder as citysite.com (where index.php resides).

    This seems to be domain only, so it would probably work with this configuration:

    Domain Name: cityalumni.com
    Sub Directory: /
    Prefix: alumni_ (or something unique)

    Then you would have two unique sites.
