Wow, this must be more complex a question than I thought! :-)

I would like to know if it is possible to do the following using CPanel: Create a subdomain (ie: bob.familyname.com) Point it to a subfolder multiple folders deep within the domain (ie: bob.familyname.com -> /family/usa/bob) Continue to display the subdomain in the address bar I know with CPanel you can create a subdomain and then redirect that subdomain to a subfolder within the domain using the full URL, but doing this no longer displays the original subdomain - it shows the redirect location. I would like to still display the original subdomain name. If this is not possible via CPanel, I would appreciate someone fluent enough in .htaccess to explain to me how to perform this action. I've attempted on my own, but I can't get the results that I'm told I should be (difference in server configuration, maybe? idk). EDIT: Typos

Its not a sub-subdomain. Its just a normal virtual subdomain, only I want it to point to a different folder location.

I'm guessing not.

Talk about being in sync. Right on the nose, bellringr. So does anyone know how to do this?

The thing is it will be like the bottom example, but they will all be contained in a subfolder. I'm just looking to get them out of my root. Like this: >/chat /cpanel /family /bill /images /glenda /images /joe /images etc... /forum /images I could have sworn there was a way to with redirects to mask the URL with the subdomain.

Lisa has it pegged: I want to create a "family" subfolder and then put each subdomain's folder - representing each family member's subdomain - in that. Is there a better forum to ask this question in since it seems Cpanel can't do what I will require? I've got the redirect down, just I've forgotten how to mask the real URL with the subdomain. To break it down for those who still don't understand, when I go to joe.doefamily.net, it gets to www.doefamily.net/family/joe - just as it should - but it SHOWS that URL, too. That's where my problem lies: I would like to get to a place where it still says joe.doefamily.net.

It's a family website and I have given each family member a portion of which to create their own easy to remember homepage (ie. john.doefamily.net). The thing is there is quite a few of them (big Italian family) so it's quite cumbersome to navigate through them all to get any folder that's not a family member - for instance, the /images/ folder. Hence, my desire to consolidate them all to one folder. EDIT: Spelling...
