hosting + Addon domains

Hi all, hope you can help out here.

I have webspace and a domain name linked with this through my host dataflame.
This is all well and good, but i want to host additional domains on my webspace (i don't want to buy additional space for these other projects).

I have bought 2 more domains and hope to point these to my webspace.

The control panel on my webspace is cPanel10. I use 'addon domains' to point new domains to the webspace, and correct the DNS information on 123-reg (where my domains are kept). This all works fine and the addresses points to the websites fine.

The problem is with the search engines, and feel this is going to impact on the new sites until it gets fixed.

When i use 'addon domains', it creates a subdomain on my existing webaddress (the one i registered the webspace with) and the search engines use this.
I want search engines to pick up www.project1.co.uk (fictional addresses) and index the sites like this rather than where its hosted - www.project1.website.co.uk which is what it is currently doing.
This means when searching for the site through google, i get the webspace rather than the website (which i want to keep separate)

i hope you guys know what i'm talking about, any advice would be greatfully recieved! I'm a bit new to this so

thanks!

Hiya Brai

If "project1.co.uk is loading in he browser and stays as the URL then that is what the search engines will see, unless you actually have a reference somewhere to the sub.domained address?

If however you try to load your website in your browser and you are seeing it load as a sub.domain of your main account, then you probably have something in a .htaccess file that is forcing the addon to be referenced as its root level directory path, giving you http://sub.domain.etc etc

We see quite a few customers make this error when using .htaccess to re-write URL's and if done incorrectly on an addon domain's root account, it will mess up all addon domains.
