Adding Domains

Before the system allows you to add a domain, first you need to change the nameservers of the domain you with to add to:

ns1.solid-hosting.net, IP 69.57.167.211
ns2.solid-hosting.net, IP 69.57.187.122

OR

ns3.solid-hosting.net, IP 216.193.213.156
ns4.solid-hosting.net, IP 216.193.213.157

Please check in your welcome email which nameserver pair you should use.

Please note that some registrars do not post the updated nameserver information to the parent DNS servers immediately after you make the changes, so it may take some time (usually several hours) before you can add the domains.

To add a domain click "Addon Domain" in cpanel.

You will see three fields.

In the first field, type the name of the domain you wish to add:

In the second field, type a subdirectory name:

This will become the root (parent) directory of your addon domain. It is going to appear as a regular directory in the public_html folder of your main domain. For example if you're adding xyz.com, then type in "xyz", as directory name.(you can give the parent directory of the addon domain any name you like).

In the third field enter the password you wish to set for this domain.

Then click add domain.

When you add a domain, the system automatically creates a subdomain for this addon domain. For example if you add xyz.com, with parent directory name "abc" then a sub domain abc.yourdomain.com will be created. However you will be able to open http://www.xyz.com as a separate domain. So http://abs.yourdomain.com and http://www.xyz.com will open to the same thing.

If you wish to upload files to any of your addon domains:

Via FTP:

Connect to ftp.youraddondomain.com
Username: [parent directory name] -- this is just the parent directory name
Pass: whatever you set for the addon domain

If you prefer you can just connect via FTP to your main domain and then navigate to public_html/[addon domain parent directory] and upload the files there.

Via FrontPage:

If you wish to publish your site with FrontPage, you need to connect to the corresponding subdomain for this addon domain:

So in this case make FrontPage connect to "http://[addon domain parent directory].yourdomain.com. Then use the parent directory name as username, and the pass you set for the addon domain.
