I’ve purchased a new domain (let’s call this domain1.com) and I’d like to use my existing hosting package (let’s call this domain0.com) to host the website (powered by WordPress) – I can re-direct domain1.com to domain0.com/domain1 or domain1.domain0.com.

Is it possible, using .htaccess to do this? Bear in mind that this will be WordPress-based and so there’ll be some extra .htaccess action to get ‘pretty permalinks’ – will this complicate things even further?

    What you’re asking is not possible using mod_rewrite only.

    Please understand that Apache doesn’t do internal redirect if HOSTNAME is changing in the target of a RewriteRule. In that case it has to be an external redirect using R flag. And if there is an external redirect then domain name of URL in the browser will change to http://www.domain0.com.

    One possible workaround that you can use is to set the DOCUMENT_ROOT for www.domain1.com to domain0_DOCUMENTROOT/domain1.
