Create a symbolic link application via our control panel, using /home/xtarafa/webapps/htdocs/xtarafacat as the symlink path.

Then, assign the symlink app to the root of your site, again via our control panel.

Hope that helps!

Sure, it's possible. For your example, you would use our control panel to make a site that serves your htdocs application on your www.xtarafa.cat subdomain, and then put the following in ~/webapps/htdocs/.htaccess:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.xtarafa.cat$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/xtarafacat/
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /xtarafacat/$1 [P,L]

But why would you want to? The extra htaccess directives incur a performance hit on your site, and running another static/cgi/app or a symlink app doesn't really count towards your RAM, storage, or bandwidth quotas. It's much easier to think of ~/webapps as your web root and then create applications for each thing that you want to serve.
