I have a basic linux hosting on 1and1. I'm confused about the relationship
between web space and ftp space.

There seems to be two different ftp/web spaces:

s123456790.onlinehome.us (an alias created by 1and1)
mydomain.com (the domain I registered)

Only one of the above is mapped to the http://mydomain.com. It is affected
by the settings of the websitebuilder.

If someone could explain the whole picture of how these spaces are connected
and related to each other, that would be great.

I know, 1and1 has a tech support number. They are good at making things work
(e.g. they'd tell me to click on this, ftp to this address), but they don't
explain the why.

Poor customer service? Often companies who *wont* explain *cant*
explain. Time to switch hosting companies.

Said the man who recently discovered he had spent years being suckered
by his hosting company.

No need to worry about it. It won't affect your web space in any way.
There may be a number of reasons why they doing it that way, but none
of them will affect the indexing of your web pages, if that's what
you're worrying about.
