Yes, that completely erodes trust because the user has no idea that
fruit and pear are related companies.
Additionally, with all the phishing scams out there consumers are more
and more being taught to pay attention to the domain. Heck, even my
credit union is reminding us that it doesn't matter what the page
looks like, it matter what the domain says.
To be considered 'legit' and 'not a phishing scam' I would just have
everything wrapped underneath pear.com

I am fishing for some information about general public and URLs

Here is an example for me to ask my question:
Say there is a domain name of fruit.com. They deal with the general
public (not B2B).
Fruit.com wants to set up a site called pear.com.
When someone types in pear.com they are redirected to
fruit.com/pear.
Any repercussions from the users/visitors? Trust issues? Confusion?
Dont notice?
Thanks
