Guess I didn't make it clear.

At the moment http://www.rsgbhfcc.org REDIRECTS to a subfolder at 
www.vhfcc.org, without framed hiding. So the address bar in your 
browser shows the vhfcc.org address rather than rsgbhfcc. This is a 
quick and easy way of doing it...

The proper way, provided the actual site is hosted on shared hosting, 
which most of the hosting packages are, is to modify the dns name 
servers for rsgbhfcc so they point to the relevant webspace and 
appropriate folder - doing this you always get the rsgbhfcc.org address 
in the address bar and visitors to the site know nothing whatsoever 
about vhfcc.org.

I have webspace hosted at 1&1:

http://www.davesergeant.com points directly to my home directory
http://www.g4bra.org.uk (registered at easily.co.uk) points to 
http://www.davesergeant.com/barc/
http://www.bracknellmethodist.org.uk points to 
http://www.davesergeant.com/bmc/

But you would never know this by just visiting the sites.

Slightly more complicated to do it this way, but worthwhile.
