Google showing my ad-on domain as a subdomain rather than full domain

    Hey,

    Just as the title says...


    I have a site that is a subdomain on my main domain, the site is using a full domain yyy.com and is in a folder and subdomain of zzz.com - I don't know why but most pages in google are showing up as zzz.com/yyy_folder instead of just showing yyy.com

    Anyone know why it would be doing this?
    The files also come up in google when I type in yyy.com/a_file_name so it is being indexed under the full name, but preference is being given to it being a subdomain in results unless specifically searched for the domain

    It can be resolved by writing a redirection rule. However in some cases, a redirection may cause some different issues after a while. You have to buy separate hosting accounts for each domain or for the affected domain only if you want a complete and quick solution. This is a common issue in most of the multi domain hosting services under a single control panel, usually cpanel.

    canonical error. Better to check on the setting up your folder.
