In this section, you can add new domains and subdomains to your account and point them to specific directories (Figure 1).

(Figure 1: Domains Example Screen)

Add Domain:

If your account allows multiple domains, you can add additional domains to your account which, to your Website visitors, can appear completely separate from the other domains on your account. The domain can have its Web files, but will still share the resources of your Web hosting account with your other domains. Alternatively, you can add additional domains that will just point to the same Web files as your main domain name. Click the Add Domain button from the Domains List box in the Domains section. The Domain window will open (Figure 2). NOTE: If you have reached the domain limit for your hosting plan the Add Domain button will not be displayed in this box. You will need to contact your hosting provider to add more domains to your hosting plan. Enter your new domain name into the Domain Name field. If you would like the new domain to use the local mail server, check the box (  ) next to use the local mail server. If you would like the new domain to point to your default Web directory (/www/htdocs/), leave the radio button (  ) checked by Default. NOTE: This option should be checked if you want your new domain to use the same Web files as your main domain. If you would like the new domain to point to a specific directory on your account, check the radio button (  ) by Custom and enter the path to the new directory on your account you would like the new domain to point to. NOTE: This option should be checked if you want your new domain to use unique Web files and act as a completely separate Web site. The directory you type in must already exist on your account to complete the setup successfully. Click the Finish button.
