How do I publish my site on an addon domain using FrontPage?

You need to set FrontPage to publish to addondomain.yourmaindomain.com (as if the addon domain is a subdomain). For example, if xyz.com is your main domain and abc.com is the addon domain, set FrontPage to publish to abc.xyz.com.

How do I add domains in my control panel?

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.

How do I manage email accounts for my domain?

Each domain you add to your account will have its own control panel – CPanel. With CPanel you can manage all aspects of your domain including set up email account, auto responders, email forwards etc.

How do I check my email using programs like Outlook and Eudora?

To check your mail for a specific email account using Outlook or Eudora, use the following settings:
Mail Server: mail.yourdomain.com
Username: your entire email address (i.e. address@yourdomain.com)
Pass: whatever set for this email account

If I use up all my allotted space what happens?

You will be notified by email that your account is full. You can then either look at you account to make sure the space isn’t being used by unnecessary files or you can upgrade to the next plan. You can upgrade your account at any time, it requires no work from you and will not interrupt your service.
