Yes this is possible.
Have a look at www.printerowners.com (rather than www.printerowners.co.uk)

When I brought I brought .com and .co.uk both with same name, I had .com as a duplicate and when when co.uk got infected I closed that one down and went to .com which I kept .com asleep but always updated till .co.uk got the bug, its just as well that I did otherwise I would have been in big trouble, I then awoke .com and used another host that was better and more security conscious. co.uk is free from bugs now and kept updated in case .com crashes, hope this makes sense

It does after my head stopped spinning :biggrin:

I have two names registered for my business purposes and they share the same hosting package from smitch6.

I tend to favour only buying the .co.uk (as I am a cheapskate) and because in the past all my business interests have been UK only.
