How would I go about putting two sites on the same host? I switched the host site for my forum and they gave me a free domain as part of the signup and I'd like to make that site into a forum as well. When I upload the vbulletin files to the host in a new folder underneath the one that contains my other forum, all I get is 3 links on the page of the new site. One for each folder in my public_html folder.

First get a second license. two copies of VB needs two licenses.
Second, you need to find out what is the physical path the second domain points to, and put the files there. For instance, I run 4 sites on my server. They each have wildly different urls, but they point to /home/site1/public_html, /home/site2/public_html, /home/site3/public_html and /home/site4/public_html respecitively.
what path a domain points to is written into the web server configuration file.
Third, this 3 links on the page thing is *POOR*. It means you do not have an index.html (or .php or .asp or whaever) in your root directory. GO immediately from reading this and put an index.html file in your root directory, even if the file is completely empty.
