How do you Set up Multiple Domains, but not Subs?

INTERNET MARKETING

I have been setting up Wordpress websites for the past two years however I would like to set up a site with multiple domains but not using subdomains, like creating an entirely new site with a different theme.

Example. Main site (these are fake, just for example purposes):
ilovesports.com - sports

Normally I would go: ilovesports.com - sports

But now I would like to go: www.Ilovesports.com/baseball

Questions:
1. How do you do this in a way where the "baseball" domain can have a different theme, just like a subdomain does?

2. Is there any Seo benefit of www.Ilovesports.com/baseball instead of ilovesports.com - sports

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Capp - simply install a new WP & theme on the subdirectory.

Hey Gene,

Wouldn't that give me: www.sub.main.com versus www.main.com/newsite

That's a perfect example. Click on an individual sport and it goes

Capp, no, a subdomain is different than a subdirectory.

Subdomain: sub.main.com
Subdirectory: www.main.com/newsite

When you go to your cpanel to install WP, you have the option right there to create a folder in which to install WP. Simply name the folder whatever you'd like (as in the subdirectory example) and that's it. You now have a completely separate WP installation in the folder.

Thanks Gene! In my head I kept using the terms interchangeably. Thank you so much.

  ahhh - that is so easy!!
  For SEO/page ranking info: the subdirectory then contributes to main.com?
  
  Thank you
