Hi,

I know you cannot use the Alias directive in htaccess but I was
wondering if I can achieve something similar to that.

I have the following problem. With my hosting provider I can add more
domains to my main domain with which I registered. However they have
to be in subdirectories

To be more precise, my main domain (e.g www.maindomain.com) is in the directory
/public_html
and my add on domain can then be in
/public_html/www.addondomain.com

What I want is that my main domain is in
/public_html/www.maindomain.com

I've asked my hosting provider and they say they cannot do this. So I
was wondering if there is a trick on how to this with for example an
htaccess file

Thanks

Jaap

or rather :
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?maindomain.com$

?

for .htaccess in your document root this will probably give you a good start:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)maindomain.com$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !www.maindomain.com
RewriteRule (.*) /public_html/www.maindomain.com/$1
