SUBDOMAINS
Q. 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.
