Domain Forwarding Mess

Is this the correct way to fix this permanently?

I've checked past articles and have not found exactly the answer I need - thanks for listening here...

I placed a website that has become very popular (unexpectedly) at longdomain.com/foo It is now accessed by two different URL's popular1.com and popular2.com using the namesecure frameset forwarding service. I now realize how bad this is for all the reasons (frames, etc). I need to find a way out of this mess in the short and long term. Currently the longdomain.com is a shared hosting account.

My solution, since I plan to publish other sites is to purchase a dedicated server solution. Say a new site is newsite1.com Am I correct in assuming if I do that I can have popular1.com, popular2.com and newsite1.com go to the IP address of the dedicated host - and apache can be used to decode what subdirectory to go to based on what URL was typed in to the request?

Put another way, what is the best way to handle multiple domains going to multiple subdirectories on a single dedicated server?

Thanks very much,

To answer my own question, I just found

[httpd.apache.org...]

This sounds like the right approach....
