To do this, go into the Domain Management Tool and add a domain with the name of your current primary domain+.test. Once you've created this container domain (its really just a folder), assign it as your new primary. The .test domain should display a star icon next to it in your Domain Management Tool list of domains and should display "/" in the "folder" column. Now, all of your real domains should point to content in their own individual sub-folders. so you sport domain would point to an appropriately named folder and that folder would display as "/[folder name]" in the "folder" column of the Domain Management Tool. By setting up your Deluxe Hosting Account in this manner, all of your domains that you purchase and host under this one deluxe account will be complete unique from a search engine perspective and you will not need to purchase additional hosting. The number of sites that you setup is only limited by the size of the account (150GB) and number of SQL servers (25). I hope this helps you and future readers. Scott,

I went through this challenge with GoDaddy myself. You want to use GoDaddy deluxe hosting to setup completely separate domains. There is a way of doing this actually but it took a couple of calls to their support team to figure it out. Basically, you need to create a new primary or main account and end it with ".test" This will be your root folder and will only contain your registered domains. This new main will not actually be a real domain. So, in your case, you might want to use "wethmangroup.test" and set it as your primary domain. After that is done, have each unique registered domain point to their respective sub-folders inside your new primary. This way, you can keep your domains complete separate from one another without having to worry about google linking one (or all) of your domains to your primary. Thanks for your question Katie!

What if I have a deluxe (godaddy) hosting account so domains are aliased to the main account BUT I set up a separate database (Wordpress) on each domain and different content on each one? (So it's all on the same deluxe hosting account which requires them all to be 'aliased' to the main, but each has it's own database and own content in its own folder.) I assume since it's not duplicate content the main site won't be punished, but will google ignore the content on the aliased domains completely? Great info, thanks for sharing.
