multiple domains, same "My Web Sites" folder

[Keith]

Hi all. Here's my delima.

I need instructions on how to store [and use] files for mutiple domains on
one computer using MS FrontPage 2003.

More details: When launching MS FrontPage 2003, the program automatically
looks for my web files in the my "My Web Sites" folder on my hard drive.
Where I get lost is when I try to maintain 2 seperate domains files knowing
that FP looks in "My Web Sites" for it's files. I am totally lost on how to
store and quickly change files for more than one domain on my computer. What
I have done out of necessity (I currently have 2 domains, but 1 is basically
inactive) is copy one domains files to an archive folder and pasting the
other domain files in the "My Web Sites" default folder to work on that
particular domain. Yes, I must change the "publish to" address and "usernames
.... that's not a problem. What IS a problem is that everytime I arhive one
domains files and copy and paste the other domains files into "My Web Sites",
I have to re-upload ALL current files because each is recognized as "in
conflict" with the servors copy, even though they are the same.

So, I'm thinking I'm missing something very basic. I've recently set-up an
AddOn domain (basically a third domain) with my host (Bluehost), and they
tell me they have set-up a seperate folder on their end, but I am clueless
how to handle it at my end, and I am getting very little help.

When replying, please keep in mind that, as you may have guessed, I'm a
novice and simply replies are appreciated.

Little help someone?

Thanks in advance,
Keith

If you're working with disc-based webs on your machine you can have many
websites stored...
c:\My Web Sites\fred
c:\My Web Sites\barney
c:\My Web Sites\wilma
then you just publish them to the correct url http:\\www.xxxx.com it
doesn't matter what you name them on your local machine.

If you're working with IIS on your local machine they would be

http://localhost/fred
http://locahost/barney
etc.
