I am afraid I’m not following. To use the MSM you will need the two sites to reside on the same server. As has been mentioned before, the usual setup would be to map one subdirectory to the secondary site. This is done by the host/server, even before MSM comes into play.
I would like to repeat the bit of advice that Brandon gave earlier: create a “Hello World” .html file and upload this to your second domain. Be sure you can access it via your web browser.
