Running 2 website off 1 IP address

[Ansar Mohammed]

This idea works on the basis that your browser is sending a "Host: " header
that matches the "ServerName" directive.

If you are typing somtihing else in your browser other than 
"http://massivelymultiplayeronlineroleplayinggames.org"

You will be redirected to the first site.

I assume that you are typing in
http://www.massivelymultiplayeronlineroleplayinggames.org
 In which case it does not match the "ServerName" directive and you are
being sent to the default site (the first one)

Add the following line after your  "ServerName" directive:

ServerAlias www.massivelymultiplayeronlineroleplayinggames.org

That should do the trick!
