 * I successfully installed one domain with wp.org after getting a mix of services
   part .com and part .org. Now I want to install another domain (.org) Both of 
   these domains will be administered on the same computer. I’m unclear if I can
   use the same installed WP for both??

 * I’m not sure what you’re trying to do.
 * You installed your own WordPress site on a webhost, at a specific domain name—
   and you want another site on the same host but with a different domain name?

 * This will depend on your hosting. If you can point two domains at the same website
   directory, then you could convert to Multisite

 * To get the other domain to work, you will need to use domain mapping plugin like:

 * If you’re uncomfortable with any of that, I would advise checking with your web
   hosting company about adding another installation to your existing hosting plan
   or adding another hosting plan for the second WP installation.

 * Hi,
 * I want francanuccihaynes.com to be totally separate from haynes-photographs.com.
   Yes I want 2 separate sites, both using WordPress, domains separate. Can you 
   please just register the new domain and I can get on with setting up the second
   WP site on Stablehost?
 * BTW, I really appreciate all the help albeit from 6 different people. 🙂 I know
   you’re used to the way this all works, what with .com and .org but it’s a bit
   confusing. I needed the help.

 * OH, I see the problem. There are three entities here and I’m treating them as
   2. There, in my case are, WordPress, Namecheap and Stablehost which is just the
   way I set up managing these 2 sites. All I want from Namecheap is becoming the
   registrar for both haynes-photographs.com (which is setup and working) and francanuccihaynes.
   com. I have transferred the domain (fnh.com) to Namecheap, got the transfer code
   from the old registrar and passed it on to Namecheap. I setup a new account with
   Namecheap and authorized Namecheap to register that domain. As soon as that’s
   done and I am notified I can reset the name servers with Stablehost, buy the 
   theme I want to use and create the site. Or something like that. 🙂

 * Yeah, it’s confusing. It didn’t really matter where you registered the domain
   names (although it’s never here). They could have been different and it would
   be fine. The domain names, once you have them pointed to the host, will be two
   different folders (you’ll use cpanel or something like it to access them) and
   they will each have an installation of WordPress, which is just software in this
   context, not a service like the others.
 * Good luck
