Addon Domains

An addon domain is a domain name that that points to a subdirectory within your account. For example, you may want www.domain-name-here.co.uk to point to a folder called "domain-name-here.co.uk" within your existing hosting account. The addon domain will look completely independent to the outside world with no means for anyone to know that this is running on an account under another site.

Addon domains must be registered domain names that you own and must be configured to point to our name servers in order to work. If you purchase your domain names via ourselves, we take care of this for you.

To add a domain to your web site:

1. Log into the control panel.
2. Click on the Addon Domains icon from the main page.
3. Enter the domain name in the New Domain Name field. (Do not enter www)
4. Add a name for the Subdomain. This is usually a shortened version of the domain name.
5. Click on the Add Domain button.
