Next, create a domain pointer on your server on which your magento webshop is running

Then, in your .htaccess file, insert the following code after RewriteEngine On


 SetEnvIf Host .*newdomain.nl.* MAGE_RUN_CODE=newstore
 SetEnvIf Host .*newdomain.nl.* MAGE_RUN_TYPE=website

replacing newdomain.co.uk with the url you just made a domain pointer from and newstore with the name of the store you just created in your existing magento store
