Web sites and domain names?

You should simply have separate folders on the host site under your main account. I have several sites under one package and when I log in (via WISE-FTP) I simply open the folder of the domain I'm working on.

In your hosting account set up you point the domain name to the appropriate folder.

To the outside world they appear as separate and distinct sites.
e.g., maggievalleyweddings.com, maggievalleycottage.com

Boy, this is going to be hard to ask because I can't figure it out myself. I am obviously a newbie in this realm. I bought two domain names with hostmonster. One is my main domain name, and the other is an addon domain name. I am learning Dreamweaver CS3. Can I create 2 different web sites with these domain names? Say domain1.com and domain2.com. I tried this and when I uploaded my new site using domain2.com as the FTP host name - the web site was created under domain1.com name. My domain2.com web site had nothing in it. It is driving me crazy. How can I have 2 entirely different web sites with the same hosting company? This is probably so fundamental to people that know this stuff, it may not even make sense to you. I hope it does though....
