Multiple Domains on one Hosting Account

    I have a little problem I hope you can help me with.

    I own about 20 domains with domainspricedright.com (a godaddy reseller). One of which has a hosting account associated with it. Lets say its mydomain.com all works fine there

    I want to share this hosting and my other domains to point to it and then to a respective folder for each one. So for example, myotherdomain.com points to mydomain.com/folder

    Currently the only way I can do this is domain forwarding with masking so that it uses a frame to redirect. But ofcourse, the search engines cant read the content. Thus they only get listed with the masked meta tags (keywords, title and description) and not the actual content. The only way I can figure round this is to use a subdomain like forum.myotherdomain.com but I want to be able to use the www.

    any advise welcome!

    Are they using cpanel ? If so, you can do addon domains. The addon domain for myotherdomain.com will be hosted automaticly form mydomain.com/myotherdomain

    hope this help

    Be aware if you use cpanel for redirects you may have to manually edit the htaccess file to 301 redirect all valid urls to the desired one for indexing or the search engines may view each url as a seperate site.

    For example google would see example.com and www.example.com as two different sites, causing dupe content issues. Let me know if you need a sample htaccess file.

    You should also specify with google, your preferred url. There is an option for this in google webmaster tools.
