redirect with .htaccess rewrite rule to different folder on my server - apache

Question

I have been trying to redirect to a different folder with .htaccess when I hit a domain.
Here's my .htaccess redirect rule, can you tell me where am I wrong?
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www.)?racereadymotorsports.in$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /raceready/$1 [L,QSA]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www.)?annelies-slabbynck.com$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /annelies/$1 [L,R=301]
So, what I want is, if someone visits racereadymotorsports.in, they redirect to /raceready/ directory
and on the other hand if they visit to annelies-slabbynck.com, they should redirect to /annelies/ directory
At present, this redirects twice for annelies-slabbynck.com which means that, I end up with:
http://www.annelies-slabbynck.com/annelies/annelies/ as my final url
I am running a shared hosting and do not have access to add a new configuration.
Please help.

You need to remove the [OR] flag and reproduce the same conditions with the other rule. Maybe something like:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www.)?racereadymotorsports.in$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /raceready/$1 [L,QSA]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www.)?annelies-slabbynck.com$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /annelies/$1 [L,R=301]
Or better yet, you can use these conditions instead: RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www.)?racereadymotorsports.in$
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/raceready/$1 -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/raceready/$1 -d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /raceready/$1 [L,QSA]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www.)?annelies-slabbynck.com$
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/annelies/$1 -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/annelies/$1 -d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /annelies/$1 [L,R=301]
Note that the R=301 flag in your second rule redirects the browser, unlike the first rule which only internally rewrites the request.
