How Can I Mask A URL In The Browser Window?

I have one Internet web hosting. It's just a basic shared web hosting.

I have two domain names. One of the domain names, "www.parkeddomain.com", is parked on the Yahoo! domain parking service. Yahoo!'s domain parking service will let you point visitors to the domain in the direction of another hosting. I have the parked domain name pointing to a subdirectory on my web hosting, "www.primarydomain.com".

My problem is this: When someone types in "www.parkeddomain.com" they get referrered to the subdirectory "subdirectory.primarydomain.com" - which is the way I intend for it to work. However, in the browser address window when they type in "www.parkeddomain.com" they see the URL "subdirectory.primarydomain.com" instead of the "www.parkeddomain.com" domain name.

My question is this: Does anybody know how I can "mask" the browser address window so that visitors see the domain name "www.parkeddomain.com" instead of the subdirectory "subdirectory.primarydomain.com"?

Thanking you in advance.

Have the index page in that subdirectory be a one-frame frameset that sources the current home page for the directory. This'll only work if people always go to your home page and navigate from there unless, for every page in the site, you check the domain and redirect to the frameset, passing the page as an argument to be pulled into the frame.

I'm not sure either solution will work if yahoo is doing a hard redirect on the domain.

redirect permanent / subdirectory.example.com

If this is the case, anything that goes to your www.example.com domain will always end up at subdirectory.example.com.

Your best bet is to get your domain name off yahoo parking and get it hosted.

If you need help locating comparable services just post here and I as well as others will help you find what you need.
