READ THIS
BEFORE SETTING UP A SUBDOMAIN!
A. To create a sub
domain cpanel asks for the name you wish
to use. MAKE SURE the subdomain name you
give it doesn't have a folder already
named that name. If it does the sub will
not work. Example... I want to create the
subdomain test.hostgator.com so my sub
name is going to be test. If I already
have a folder in my ftp named test I need
to delete it or rename it to something
different before I create the subdomain
with the test name from cpanel.
Q. What is a
subdomain?
A. www.domain.com is a domain name. A
subdomain is anything that replaces the
www in a domain name.forum.aol.com
is a subdomain. www.forum.aol.com is not a
subdomain.
Addon Domains
Q. What is an
addon domain?
A. An addon domain is a fully functional
domain that will work out of a folder in
your main sites ftp.
Q.
READ THIS
BEFORE SETTING UP AN ADDON DOMAIN!
You cannot create an addon domain if your
dns hasn't proprograted to the server
already. So after you change the sites dns
you are trying to add you will need to
wait 24-48 hours before attempting to
create your addon domain.
A. There are three fields cpanel asks for
when creating an addon domain.
1. "New Domain Name:"
You will put in the newdomain.com do not
put www in the name!
2.
"Username/directory/subdomain Name:" This
will be the folder cpanel creates in your
main accounts ftp. MAKE SURE that the name
you give it doesn't already have a folder.
Example... If you want to give it the
username chris. You cannot have a folder
in your account named chris already. If
you do and still try creating the username
for the addon domain to be chris you will
mess a lot of things up!!!
3. "Password:" fill in
any password you want here.
Q. Help I added an
addon domain why did it say subdomain
added?!!?
A. It creates it as a subdomain by
creating the folder within your main sites
ftp. Please ignore this! It is a fully
functional domain name. It is only called
a subdomain when in fact it is an addon
domain.
