htaccess redirect for multiple domains

[Gremlin098]

I have a few different domain names on my hosting and would like to use an htaccess redirect to send each one to a different subfolder. Does anyone know what the redirect would look like?

When you say "we" I think you mean you. I searched your screen name and found just about every variation I could think of. The code below worked nicely. Thanks very much!

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on

# redirect to add "www" prefix for existing or new domain
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^existing-domain\.com [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^new-domain\.com [NC]
RewriteRule (.*) [%{HTTP_HOST}...] [R=301,L]

# Internally rewrite new domain home page requests to a specific page
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.newdomain\.com
RewriteRule ^$ /specific-page.html [L]

Make sure you test it for both non-www and www starting points.

Try it for the root domain, and for folders, and for files, and for files in folders to be sure.

It seems to work fine. One minor issue, but I'm not sure its a problem. On redirects to the root, I'm getting two trailing slashes - almost like it assumes a path or file name will follow. It doesn't seem to affect functionality though. Do you think it will cause problems with search engines?

It could do. It's Duplicate Content.

Re-examine your rules in detail.
