Not clear to me:

For the slave sites, can I use domain names on a shared server, referring to a subdirectory on the master domain with shared hosting?

For the slave domains (without hosting, just presence) the hosting provider let me choose to make referrals throug dns, a real 'redirect' (301 forwarder) or a 'server alias'. The last way seems to be the best option to keep the domain in the address bar. But this cannot be used for referring to a subdirectory (or it could be possible with modifying the htaccess file).

The provider makes use of a customized service panel (no plesk or cpanel) on an Apache server. I am not able to config the server myself.

Before buying your nice product, I really would like to know if it is possible and what is the best way to config?

Yes you can use shared hosting and use slave site into a subdirectory.

You can NOT use the DNS redirection because once the URL will be redirected, JMS will not know which was the original URL.

if your website is present in a subdirectory, you don't need to setup the DNS.

The only case where your DNS is required is when you are using a subdomain or a domain.

I suggest that you have a look to the presentation that we did at several joomla day and also the tutorial video 0.b.

If you are doing the setup manually (not cPanel or Plesk), you have to setup the DNS server to point on your server (the IP address).
And on your server, you have to setup apache to recognize the domain or subdomain with an associated document root.
The document root is the place where you have deployed your slave site in JMS.
(The field deploy directory in JMS)

So yes you can do that.
All the cases are possible (domain, subdomain and subdirectory).

Thanks. I am experimenting with your software now.
