Should be a very simple question...

Okay, excuse my newbie-ness, but I have what should be a very simple question...

If you go to my site http://www.thomaswharry.com, you will see that I have a meta redirect that takes you to http://www.thomaswharry.com/nuke/, which is where my PHPNuke website is.

I have a reseller account that, because Fantastico is installed, will not allow me to use just thomaswharry.com as my home directory. I have to use a subdirectory.

As you can imagine, this sucks immensely. Is there any way to mask it so that it looks like it's just Thomaswharry.com, instead of the URL bar saying thomaswharry.com/nuke/?

Usually I would just Google to get my answer, but I don't even know what to call the process that would allow me to do this, so I can't even Google. HELP!!!

You can use mod_rewrite I believe if your host supports it, a quick hack of course would be to make http://www.thomaswharry.com a framed page with one frame being set to 0height and the other containing http://www.thomaswharry.com/nuke, although I'd suggest against that.

Look into mod_rewrite and masking URLS (Google) should bring up some promising results.
