I am very new to web design and hosting.  But you guys are awesome!  Every question that I have had has been answered promptly.  Other sites once then get your money could care less if you have any questions or not.

I currently have the free hosting.  (I was the guy with the multiple questions on multiple sites) I was wondering how does it work on the paid hosting if I needed lets say, www.website1.com and www.website2.com.  These would be two different sites. 

If I am understanding this it would all be done under cpanel and I can host multiple domains on my account is that correct?  These domains also would be two seperate sites from each other.

Thanks again,
Gary

Yes.

You can park multiple domains on your paid account, where each domain would make its own folder in your accounts public_html folder.

So say you register with www.website1.com , and park your www.web2.com domain onto the account, the folder inside public_html would be web2.com. And any files put in web2.com folder would load from www.web2.com.

I have three different domains that I purchased today.  Which one do I make my primary or I am assuming that it does not matter?  Since the other two would be done via folders correct?  I already have pointed the name servers to you guys and I am opening a paid account today.

It shouldn't make a difference which one you set as the primary. I would go with the one you use more often or the one that is more important to you.

And you are correct, the other two can be parked domains (point to the primary) or addon domains (have their own subfolder). Keep in mind that your username will be assigned based off your primary domain (first 8 char's I believe), so that might also make an impact in choosing the main/primary domain.
