Welcome to the Group, Nick!  It's always good to see new faces.

I'm not very familiar with Web Host Manager, which is a part of
cPanel,
a popular web host controlling panel.  According to the documentation
I
have found, and fellow Googler and cPanel user Wysz, "parking" a
domain
in cPanel will return the same pages for two different URLS.  If you
had
posted your URLs, I could confirm this for you--but for now, I'll
rely
on my best-educated guess. :-)

If this is indeed the case, then you might encounter some problems.
In
almost every case, Google will rank your site independently from
other
sites on your nameserver or IP, as we recognize that most webmasters
have no control over who is placed on their shared IP by their
hosting
company.  However, by having two different sites with the exact same
content, you are likely splitting your incoming links between the
two,
which means you're splitting your PageRank between your two domains
making it harder to rank well with either one.

To help us (and your other visitors) understand how the two domains
are related, you can set up a 301-redirect (
http://www.google.com/support/webmasters/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=3...
) pointing from the files on one domain to the same files on your
preferred domain.  This is what Google itself does from our domain
http://www.gooogle.com/ (3 o's) to http://www.google.com/ .

cPanel has a Redirect Manager that you can use to this effect, but
make
sure that you set your redirects to "Permanent!" (That means 301.)
If
your version of cPanel doesn't support wild card matching, you could
even look into configuring .htaccess files instead.

Hope that helps!
