I have a web site running under Recently, we added some functionality that had different hosting requirements, so we added a ww2 hostname.

Is there any way to combine both hosts into one dashboard? There is different content running on the two servers, so I can't use the canonical link functionality. A typical session would have someone follow a link from www -> ww2 ->

If you're using www and ww2 for the same domain name, like: example.com and ww2.example.com, then actually this is the same domain with two subdomains (both are technically considered subdomains of example.com).

Google Webmaster Tools categorizes links from subdomains as internal links and should display them as such under the same dashboard, as indicated in this Google Webmaster Blog:


Most people think of example.com and www.example.com as the same site
these days, so we’re changing it such that now, if you add
either example.com or www.example.com as a site, links from both the
www and non-www versions of the domain will be categorized as internal
links. We’ve also extended this idea to include other subdomains,
since many people who own a domain also own its subdomains—so links
from cats.example.com or pets.example.com will also be categorized as
internal links for www.example.com.


So if you have links from www to ww2 and vice versa, links from both sites should be crawled and show up in your dashboard. You may want to add the ww2 URL's to your sitemap for the www site however just to make sure.
