I created a domain, dogs.com, and it is working. I later created another domain, little.dogs.com, and it is not working. What could the problem be?
little.dogs.com is a third-level domain. A third-level domain must delegate authority to the same nameservers as does the parent second-level domain. Execute Option 29 of account to redelegate little.dogs.com to the nameservers that are authoritative for dogs.com.

How do I assign the same ipaddress to more than one domain on my server?
You should not assign the same ipaddress to multiple domains. Doing so will cause reverse DNS lookups to give incorrect and unpredictable returns which will result in various problems for the domains sharing a common ipaddress. If you need more than one domain to resolve to the same ipaddress, you should effect this by use of CNAMEs, creating one real domain and making the other domains CNAMEs which point to the real domain.

How do I make two domains resolve to the same directory on browser access?
Edit /www/conf/httpd.conf and point the DocumentRoot of the indicated domains to the desired directory, then, to effect the change, execute:
httpd.restart

How do I delete a CNAME?
You cannot delete a CNAME by yourself. If you need a CNAME removed from the DNS, you should post to
support and ask that the indicated CNAME be deleted from the nameservers.

I used account to wipe out the domain dogs.com on my server, but I see there are files and directories which belonged to dogs.com still on my server. What is wrong?
Nothing is wrong. If you want to remove the remaining files/directories from your server, you will need to manually delete them. Note, however, that should you proceed to manually delete such files/directories and find that you need them restored from backup tape, a $100 service charge will assessed to your account.
