Hi all.

I was wondering if anyone can help me?

A friend of mine has registered some extra domains and he was told by his hosting company that he could add them to his current hosting account as Domain Addons through his Cpanel, he could then upload his files and the site would be visible as a standard domain.

I helped him a little as I have had my own site for several years now and used to build websites for some of the small business in my area, for free I might add.

We did as instructed by his host, but, we can only visit the sites as SubDomains, which is not what he wants. The hosting company has not been very helpful at all, but that is another thing.

I have searched the web and it appears this is a pretty common problem when adding domains as Addons but there doesn't appear to be any solution.

Thanks in advanced if anyone can shed any light on the subject, such as is there a setting in a htaccess file that would solve the problem.
