I've been working on one stupid problem all day (honestly for 7 hours straight!)

I've added a domain to my web host accound and I want this domain to point to a folder inside of my main htdocs folder. I've called my hosts tec support but they have seemed to become retarted lately, just like my English.

The new domain is silentsinners.com
I want it re-directed to /htdocs/silentsinners/htdocs

Now, if you were to type in silentsinners.com in your broswer you would get the main page for nointernetfilter.com my main site. nointernet filter is located in /htdocs meaning the directory i gave you above is absolute if that helps.

Someone please help me, I'm going nuts, you have no idea. 7 hours worth of this crap!!!! OMG NOW ITS 8!! please help me!

I've tried to help myself but ever single example on google shows how to get some type of .php?var=fishsticks to become mysite.com/fishsticks.html

What i'm asking for seems like it would be so very simple but I've only seen complicated examples so I'm going nuts! Please help me!!!!

I went to www.silentsinners.com and it was the same site found in http://nointernetfilter.com/silentsinners/htdocs/ so I'm guessing you found a solution or just didn't wait long enough.

yeah, i called up my host last night and they said like before that its gona cost me $26 to do it but i get it unlimited tims. So i just complained that how when i signedup it was supposed to be free to do this (which it was but the host went under new management) so within 3 hours they were able to figure it out.

But i still would like to know how i would go about doing this.

You would probably need to use mod_rewrite in htaccess. Thats about all I can tell you.
