I have 2 websites a main website hosted at fasthosts and an e-commerce website hosted at Vidahost.

I want to combine both websites under the same domain set.

Main site would be www.mydomain.com
Store site would be shop.mydomain.com

I want to keep the directory path showing on the shop subdomain so what was previously www.mystore.com/product/hat would become shop.mydomain.com/product/hat

How can I accomplish this, have already created the subdomain on fasthosts and setup web forwarding to the store but the directory paths do not show.
