Ok so I bought a domain name from yahoo and set it up. I added the trap17 name servers on it and added it as an addon domain in my trap17 cpanel. I have the addon domain redirect set to redirect it correctly, but it changes to my atomicnacho.trap17.com/mynewdomain-com/ URL in the address bar. I would like it to stay as www.mynewdomain.com. The redirect works fine, but the URL changes in the address bar.
I need to make sure that the new domain points to a folder under my main public_html, so I thought I needed to set it up as an addon domain.

I've searched around the forum a bunch to find an answer, and have'nt had any luck. My appologies if I missed the answer somewhere.

Thanks in advance.

what you have done are all wrong!

--------
step:
1.
rechange the ns to yahoo registration default.
2.
set an A record as that on your registration control:
*.yourname.com
--> 69.50.188.18
yourname.com
--> 69.50.188.18
www.yourname.com
--->69.50.188.18

3.deleted the addon domains on your webhost's cpanel.

4. bind the domain " yourname.com" (remember is Yourname.com but not www.yourname.com)
to your addon domains again.
