I have a website (domain name and hosting) through Lunarpages (who are awesome, by the way), and just purchased another domain name through GoDaddy. I want to host my site with Lunarpages -- using the hosting I already have with them for my first site (basically, I just want my new domain name to be forwarded to my existing site). I can't figure out how to do this!
I've already followed the instructions on GoDaddy, but it still says it is inactive.

I don't think you want TWO domain names pointing to the same set of name servers at Lunarpages. You need to go into your cPanel at Lunarpages and set up a new domain server provided Lunarpages allows you to have two domains with one hosting. Some do, some don't.
Say they do, then you have to copy down the two NEW name servers to point the domain name purchased at Godaddy. To do this, you must log into the Domain Manager controlling your GoDaddy domain name. Go to the DNS tab and enter the name 1 and name 2 server names for the GoDaddy domain name you bought. This is a Domain Manager link:

This is one I had to use: https://manage.opensrs.net/index?action=logout
You may have to ask GoDaddy what they use to reset the new name servers to your new domain name, but you will have to make sure you are allowed two host two domains with your current hosting services.

You need to check if your lunarpage hosting allows you to add more domain to the hosting. It's called addon-domain. If you buy a hosting only for 1 domain, you need to buy a new hosting, or upgrade the existing one, so you can host more than 1 domain at the same hosting.
after that, there are only 2 things left to do.
1. Go to godaddy, and set the Name server to the one provided by the Lunar Page hosting,
2. Go to Lunar Page hosting, add the domain name to your hosting.
Hi Steph, in order to point your domain to your web host (Lunarpages) - you'll need to change the nameservers. Lunarpages should have provided you with the proper nameservers to put into your domain registrar. (Generally they look like ns1.website.com)
It may take up to 48 hours for the nameservers to propagate and start displaying your website.
Hope this helps!
