Help with Domain Mapping?

[Sergiel]

A few days ago purchased unlimited hosting account, but is not a reseller account. Hosting provider told me to use domain mapping if I wanted to host multiple websites on the one hosting account. I determined cant do this from the domain itself with a 302 redirect because bad SEO consequences.

Some other forum members have suggested using server.transfer but I have not Idea how to do this redirect server side. I set up a folder in my root directory for the 2nd website but not sure where to go from here. I have been looking in my hosting control panel for a possible function that would allow me to do this easily but doesn't seem to be one. Any advice on this would be great.

Another question I had, say my 2nd website: www(dot)website2.info is now redirected to: www(dot)website1.info/website2 once the visitor reaches my site is the url going to show up www(dot)website1.info/website2 ?

If so I think I may get a refund and just go with the regular hosting reseller account as website 1 is fairly niche specific and will having nothing to do with all the other sites I intend to host on this server.

Thanks all.

Sergiel,

If your account will allow, you can create subdomains. You can then use those subdomains to redirect your traffic to the other sites without having to worry about your homesite being penalized by the search engines.

Just an idea let me know if this helps.
