I have a website and domain which is hosted with lunarpages. I have bought an established site with content, the domain is hosted at dynspot and the files are hosted by the seller (however he will stop very soon). Is it possible to host the files on my lunarpages.com account and have 2 websites running of this? if so how can this be done?

Generally i would recommend getting a separate host to do this for you. There are loads of free ones. Or you could create a sub domain and host it there. But as far as the name servers go i think you may run into some trouble. Sub domain is the only idea that comes to mind but i would simply not do that.
You will need to contact the place that controls the name servers of the website you purchased and have the name servers point to your new hosted account. Which is basically a ip address so thats why hosting 2 on same account seems a bit odd.
You could create a free hosted account and point the name servers there and then create a permenant 302 redirect to point them to a sub domain on your 1 host. Then you will be able to access both sites from 1. And only use a simple .htaccess redirect on free host.
But this will not work well with the search engines so thats another thing to think about.
SEO is important for traffic as you are proberbly aware.. Redirects are not overly liked by search engines.
Hope that helps a little.
I recommend host them separately. Transfer your new domain to http://bluehost-plan.atspace.com .
Good Luck!
