    hi. ive just bought a godaddy hosting (the deluxe) with 100gb of space and 1tb of traffic, for about 54$ a year. they said:
    but i have several domains, and they said that i can have unlimited websites, but heres the problem:

    i have to have a primary domain, in this case, i put labradasc.com

    then all my sites, like elkauction.com, they have to be in a folder of labradasc, for example:
    labradasc.com/elkauction.com/index.php

    i dont want this. i want each domain in its own hosting root, cause when search indexes labradasc.com, they will index all the pages on elkauction.com too.

    so can i call for a refund? where? i have just bought it 2 days ago.
    or maybe im wrong?

    I dont see your problem. The url you use is just elkauction.com right? The domain works and you dont see labradasc.com back in the url, so why would search engines care?

    but when they index labradasc.com.. they index also elkauction, cause its in this site.
    so, they will index:
    labradasc.com/elkauction.com/index.php
    and also elkauction.com/index.php
    duplicate content.
    thats my problem, and thats what i think. thanks anyway.

    There isn't a lot of difference between what GD does and what every host that sells you a plan using addon domains does. It is the exact same thing.

    If you really want everthing to be completely seperate you need to look for a reseller plan. I don't think you need that.

    google and other search engines don't index directory's unless you actually print the directory listing out and link to it from somewhere.
    you can stop direct linking to
    labradasc.com/elkauction.com/index.php
    with modrewrite, if you are concerned about duplicate content.
