You're almost there. The --bind parameter to mount is just a shortcut for
the bind option ao you could equally well do: 
#mount /home/joe/home.com /var/websites/home.com -o bind

as always fstab takes mount options in the fourth field so:
/var/websites/home.com  /home/joe/home.com  none  bind 0 0 

in fstab should do the trick.
