Hey I understand that when you make a new account with hostmonster that you get one free domain. But I was wondering, If I had another registered domain could I put that domain on my account and share the disk space bandwidth with my main domain for free? or if that would cost a extra fee.
Yes it's called an add-on domain and you can add unlimited add-on domains with unlimited space and bandwidth.

Is that for free?
Or do I have to pay a fee?
And is it hard to set up?
Its free. All you do is set the domain you want to add on to bluehost nameserver of
ns1.hostmonster.com and ns2.hostmonster.com
Then use the add-on feature in cPanel

Im looking for something that is like a completely seperate site but just shares the disk space and bandwidth and I can set up for free?

Any add-on domain is exactly that - a separate site on your account.
Just purchase the new domain from any registrar you want, point the nameservers to HM then add it to your account from the Add-on Domain panel in cPanel.
If you wanted something that's absolutely free (ie. without a second domain registration fee), set up a subdomain. This is a separate site that uses a second-level name on your main domain - like http://mysubdomain.maindomain.com/. You can create unlimited subdomains.

but if i didnt want it totally free then I could just pay the register every year and do it right?
Cause I want two domains on the same account?!
So let me get this straight...
I can spend just a extra 10 dollars a year (to register a domain at 1and1.com)
and I can then have two websites with hosting that share the disk space and bandwidth?!

Yes, you can register as many domain names as you want from any registrar, like godaddy or hostmonster, then add them to your account as addon domains. Then change the nameservers to hostmonster's, and you can have as many separate domains as you want, all sharing your unlimited disk space and unlimited bandwidth. You'll end up with myfirstdomain.com, myseconddomain.com, etc., all in separate directories in your main account.
