Sure -- contact your host and ask them to split your webspace for you.

Surely you can do that. But it would depend on the kind of webhosting provided by your provider. If they provide reseller based hosting, then they most probably can help you host as many domains as you wish on your diskspace.

if you have a stand alone hosting account, with a big hosting company it may not be possible for you to "officially" host multiple domains on the same webspace account.
so... you can either use a redirection service to "forward" your domains to subfolders on your account. This is usually free, but has all sorts of issues when it comes to search engines though.
Alternitvly, you might be able to persuade the tech support guys to setup an alias on the server to resolve the account to a sub folder, although thats dependent on the hosting company.

It's quite simple to achieve. The host just points the domains to the same folder or even better, adds a subdomain, eg. http://sub.yourdomain.com to point to a specific folder. Most hosts will offer this as standard.

The other way is just to point your domains to the same index page as your primary domain. Then you have to add them as aliases to your hosting account.

Some hosting companies have plans with unlimited domains. You might want to ask before you decide.
Good Luck

You may want to also use the subdain approach with your hosting account and then use domain masking or forwarding to those subdomains from you domain registrar.

As many of the previous replies mentioned, there are different ways to go. What are you trying to accomplish?
If you want mydomain.com and mydomain.net to point to the same location, you would use "Parked" domains, where 1 is parked on top of another.
If you want totally different sites, the you need to use multiple accounts or subdomains. With many hosting companies you can have multiple subdomains like subdomain1.mydomain.com and subdomain2.mydomain.com within the same account. Then you just point the domain URL to the subdomain.
Confused enough?

If you have a dedicated IP, use a file called index.php or index.cgi to dinamically redirect every domain to another directory.
Example:
domain1.com redirect to domain1 directory
domain2.com redirect to domain2 directory...
If you are not familiar with Perl - PHP, just hire somebody, this kind of script is max 30 minutes of work.

There isn't a need for complex scripts or dedicated IP's. The only time you would need a dedicated IP IMO is when you need to operate a secure area using your own certificate rather than a shared one or when you need anonymous FTP access.
The simplest method is just to source a host that offers sub-domains or domain aliases as part of their plans. As these features normally don't actually cost the host anything or very little, you should be able to get all you need fro next to nothing if not free!
