When a hosting account using Real Time Stats adds a domain, the resulting directory structure may affect the Page Requests and Visitor Paths reports. If the new domain's root is a subdirectory of the primary domain and both directories contain a file of the same name, the browser cannot distinguishing between the pages. This results in the aggregation of page requests data.
For example, one visit each to the URLs below, where anothercoolexample.com is the new domain and points to a subdirectory of coolexample.com, is recorded as two visits to /index.html on the Page Requests and Visitor Paths reports:
http://www.coolexample.com/index.html
http://www.anothercoolexample.com/index.html
http://www.anothercoolexample.com/index.html
