| Oct 15, 2012 at 9:55 | comment | added | Mick | @w3d: Server is apache. But so far I have failed to arrange what I want :-( I think what I'm trying to achieve is quite an advanced feature. I want to block access to a directory in some circumstances but not others - are you sure it can be done? | |
| Oct 14, 2012 at 16:31 | comment | added | MrWhite | .htaccess is specific to Apache. Other webservers (IIS for instance) have their own methods. | |
| Oct 14, 2012 at 16:20 | comment | added | Mick | @wd3: Interesting. I'd never even heard of .htaccess before. Just looking it up now... | |

www.pop.com/unpop should not be accessible over HTTP. It should only be accessible via www.unpop.com. The subdirectory should be blocked in .htaccess. This is potentially a problem if Google was able to somehow find the content via the subdirectory. But otherwise, as John Conde states in his answer, an add-on domain should not impose an SEO penalty - no more so than hosting two sites on the same server (same IP).

Added SEO tag, corrected spelling.
