Hello,
You can host more than one domain on your Exchange server. The easy way steps are:
1. Add the domain to the Exchange server's SMTP Domains
2. Change DNS zone and an MX record in the authorative server's DNS, wait for propagation (clear your ws cache IPCONFIG /FLUSHDNS)
3. Select the default domain for each user in AD
