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.
