   Hello,

   I have a CPanel Shared Linux Host and have WordPress 3.2.1 installed in a sub-folder off the main directory of an add-on domain.

   I would like to run multiple WP sites with unique add-on domains. I would not be using sub-directories or sub-domains. Can I do this with my current Shared Host?

   Thanks.

   You'd have to ask your host.

   I will note, you cannot use MULTISITE (which is what this forum is for) for that, as you've installed in a sub-folder off the main directory, and WP doesn't like that when it's in MultiSite mode.

   Thanks for the input. So if the host says it's OK, which they have. And if I place WP directly in the root directory (not in its own folder on the root?) would that be OK running MultiSite?

   If you want to map domains to MultiSite, yes, put it in the root of your public_html or www folder :)

   Then grab http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wordpress-mu-domain-mapping/ for handling mapped domains.
