Multiple URLs to one business website? how?
I'm currently doing online chess lessons and have people in my city visit my website to hire me.
People find me when they google 'chess tutoring atlanta'. I would like to expand my online lessons to other cities. As such, I'm thinking of buying multiple domains to target los angeles, miami and NY. Each URL would have the keyword: chess tutoring --insert city.... DOT COM.
I would like all these URLS to point to the same domain. I have two questions
1) Can I have these multiple URLS point to one website or do I need multiple hostings accounts with individual websites?
2) Does google penalize this practice?
many thanks

I dont know about your domain authority and how does it rank now. but it is very much vulnerable to EMD. This might affect your ranking and may be penalized if this is your new site. Google target new sites which uses keywords in their domain name.

Create sub pages for the different cities, you'll be much better off.

If it is your websites surely down the ranking. because in many websites having same content Google search engines assume its duplicate content.
So you can avoid this do not duplicate the content.
