Parked, addon, sub, how do they work?

The reason why i'm asking the question is because my head just starts to spin when i try to figure out what i'm doing wrong (further down.) The problem with purchasing domains and buying web-space is that everyone expects you to already understand everything so they just laugh at you when you ask for the very basics of the basics. lol

My problem:

I've purchased several domains who i want to show the very same document on the very same server. I park these domains at my domain-host, points them to my web-hosts nameservers and adds them as addon-domains there, and give them the same root address. Visiting either of the domains makes two things happen: The browser's URL changes from the entered domain name to the target domain folder and file, which is annoying in itself, but the worst thing is that Google only see a weird little page when visiting either domain that says something about "302 temporarily moved" and thereby doesn't get to see any source-code to index whatsoever from the target. So it seems that the domains i purchased this way only acts as short-cut forwards and not as separate domains.

If i directly at my domain-host choose to "pass along" these domains to the target domain folder/file and thereby skip any configuration at my web-host, the entered domain-names stay in the browser, but this type of redirection isn't a real redirection like above. What seems to happen when you do this is that not only does google see a page that belongs to your domain-host, which shows the data needed for the pass-on to work, but the source-code for the site even for the user, when the target site has loaded, is still that little redirection-page from the domain-host. So when you do this it seems like your domain-host simply sets up a page with an iframe that points to the target specified.

Neither of these two ways work as i hoped they would. I want to be able to point these domains to the target folder/file on the same server acting as if they are the only domains pointing to that file. For example when entering namepros.com, you come to namepros.com and directly see their source-code. That's nice. But what if i wanted to add supernamepros.com to the very same place without doing any redirections and while keeping supernamepros.com in the browsers URL field?

Please help me understand! :-/

Hmm, but do you purchase your domains with your web-host? Maybe the problem is that i have purchased domains from one domain-host and got a web-hosting from a completely different company?

And do you point those addon domains to the root folder of the web-host or to a custom folder like i do?

What's your web-host and where do you buy your domains?

hi,

No, i dont purchase them with webhost.
They required to get one domain with them. All other domains are then subdomains of that but not showing to user.

I point them not to root, but to same folder:

- domain1.com -> myhositingdomain.com/alldomains
- domain2.com -> myhositingdomain.com/alldomains

webhost is not important (i do it in cpanel, which is offered by most hosting companies) and domains are at ... godaddy, moniker, dynadot etc.

But when i do that the address changes from the typed in domain to the target domain. For example www.newdomain.com changes to www.olddomain.com/targetfolder/targetfile.html. This also means that Google doesn't index www.newdomain.com for the content that the target has because the source-code that Google see is only the redirect page of newdomain.com > target.

They are addon domains. They still are 302 redirects which is very bad.

Does this have anything to do with the settings of the domains at the domain host? Should they be set to parked, redirected or no setting at all? Besides nameservers i mean, which are configured separately from the settings i just mentioned.

I'm sorry to be a pain, but i really need to figure this out.
