Last few day I've been struggle regarding how to pointing public html to sub-folder. At first of development I've thinking to use subdomain as my solution. Nah! It won't work much. I do some search on google for "tu7uh" and the result doesn't satisfy me. Read more here to learn how to Pointing public html to sub-folder using htaccess.

What is the point of doing this?

The reason is RANKING! That all I want for my website and I think so do you. Don't you want your blog is worth more then 1000USD? I do! Is not that all, once you using your domainame.com instead of sub.domainname.com or domainname.com/folder/ see how your web ranking increase. I also do some research how can xxx-team.org is better then mine. I've come with 2 conclusion:-

01xxx-team.org is dedicate server and tu7uh network was only web hosting

02xxx-team.org have a better crawler because I didn't add for Google Sitemap which mean Google Sitemap Sucks!

How do I pointing public html to sub-folder using htaccess?

First of all I wanna thanks crispnetworks owner for helping me out

01First you have to make sure your apache have module for mod_write.c If not this method is won't work for you.

02Alright now open your .htaccess which is locate at the public_html folder and copy paste this code below into your .htacess

# Do not change this line.

RewriteEngine on

# Change yourdomain.com to be your main domain.

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www.)?mydomain.net$

# Change 'subfolder' to be the folder you will use for your main domain.

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/myfilefree/

# Don't change this line.

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

# Change 'subfolder' to be the folder you will use for your main domain.

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /myfilefree/$1

# Change yourdomain.com to be your main domain again.
# Change 'subfolder' to be the folder you will use for your main domain
# followed by / then the main file for your site, index.php, index.html, etc.

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www.)?mydomain.net$
RewriteRule ^(/)?$ myfilefree/index.php [L]

03Save the files.

Note: Please change the mydomain.net to your domain name and also change myfilefree to your subfolder you want it to be point as you default folder.
