That's a no go.

I want to host the new site myself

You can do that http://wordpress.org/

Map an existing domain (one you already own) to your WordPress.com blog. http://support.wordpress.com/domain-mapping/map-existing-domain/

So I have a main site that is named "domain.com" and now one of my sections is very large and so I've decided to create a whole new site with it. Here is the problem though, I can get the URLs to redirect, but they'll only redirect to my main site's domain "domain.com" but I want a new domain for my new site, "website.com" but this is the problem. Since I am using my old domain already I can't just forward all requests to the new domain, only certain requests need to go to the new domain. How can I do this ?

Just to clear things up if it will help. The section that I am breaking off is the only one that will run on wordpress, my main site currently does not run on wordpress, but the section with the domain name of "website.com" will run on wordpress. Is it possible that all requests that come from "domain.com" and try to access the wordpress platform, it will automatically change the domain from "domain.com" to "website.com" since only this section will run on wordpress, this technique would work.

Any help would be appreciated.
