Setting up specific redirects issue

First - my apologies if I posted this in the wrong Forum. 1. I currently have a domain (we will call DOMAIN_ONE.COM) with a provider and domain file space. 2. I created a subdirectory called DOMAIN_ONE.COM/Veterans 3. I purchased another domain (we will call DOMAIN_TWO.COM) and asked the provider to point it to DOMAIN_ONE.COM/VETERANS 4. And my problems begin (smile) - Browser access. A. The only way to get to DOMAIN_TWO.COM is to enter "DOMAIN_TWO.COM" in your browser. To get to "DOMAIN_ONE.COM" I can enter

  What it sounds like you want really is to add DOMAIN_TWO.COM as an alias of the subdomain What interface are you using to manage these redirections? The documentation on alias domains I believe will be useful for you: Aliases - Version 80 Documentation - cPanel Documentation You can add a second alias for the www. subdomain as well.

  Thanks for your reply. You asked for the interface I am using - are you talking about CPanel 78.0.24? One quick question - I have another server (with a different provider) - if I loaded my files over to that server - would it be a lot easier if I was able to just point my new domain to that server for the files and not have to worry about sub-domains? If so - how would I do that? Thanks a bunch for your help.

  I'm referencing which interface within cPanel are you using, domains, subdomains, addons etc.

  It should be the same on both servers to do this, though I don't quite understand the necessity to manage subdomains, can you explain that further? You can create a backup in cPanel by going to cPanel>>Files>>Backup Wizard then download the completed backup and restore it to your account on the other server if you do decide to use the other one.

  Sorry - I haven't a clue - please go back to my original question. FWIW - The other domains (Yahoo and GoDaddy) allowed me to simply point to my server on another provider and mask. This time - I have two domains on one server. Anyway - please just refer to my first question. I am an old fart and trying my best to keep up with this problem. Thanks!

  UPDATE! I tried something and it worked! 1. I created a directory called "veterans" in my root and loaded it up. Not in public_html but in the root. 2. I changed my index.html file in public_html/veterans/index.html to redirect to
