Hi Jerry,

Check out our features page at the below link:

Yes we allow the software to be used on a subdomain. And yes you can use your own computer to publish your website, as long as you have an internet connection.

I have followed the instructions, watched the tutorials and am still at a loss! Must be doing something wrong.

I purchased a domain name, changed the DNS servers, went to control panel and added domain name. How can I show the first page as index when my website already has an index. Also, once published why isn't the url just my new domain name, like on the tutorial...www.site2.com

Hope I am not confusing in my questions.....
Thanks,
Diana

p.s. What does the "warn" 0% mean on my posts (upper righthand corner)

Diana-

It sounds like you have a domain still somewhere else and a new one here at VodaHost, right?
And, you made the DNS changes "there" to point to the domain here, right?
You want to show your website, that you published here (assuming a BV created website) when visitors go to the 'old' domain, right?

>> Your old domain ("there") is ponting to your VH account, but can't find where to land, since the website/account you have it trying to find does not exist: your VH account has the "new" domain listed as the primary domain! You need to set up a sub-domain folder with the "old" domain name in your BV folder (My Documents), and in your VH account Control Panel. Then move your BV web pages to the new folder you created (via Windows Explorer), and then re-publish your pages as the sub-domain so it can be found.....

PS- Don't worry about the meter...it displays reports of reported "bad posts".....(Think of it as a reminder to always be courteous)

You are such a sweetheart for replying! Thank you! And here goes the "however" part.
1. Yes, I have a vodahost account and a website called Diana's Designs located at www.dianasdesigns2.com
2. I wanted a separate page, not really associated with Diana's Designs, so I purchased an additional domain name. I haven't even set up the page, so no it is not an already hosted account account anywhere else.
3. I thought I could just have a page for our car club so that people could just view that without going thru www.dianasdesigns2.com. Perhaps I am more confused that I thought and this cannot be accomplished.

Everyone is so helpful and nice at VodaHost, how could anyone be anything but courteous and appreciative!

When you added the new domain as addon domain in your account, a new subfolder, inside your public_html, was automatically created. Now, create an index page for the new domain. Create also, in your computer's Bluevoda folder, a subfolder, where you will save all the pages related to this new site, so they won't get mixed with the old one's pages. This new folder should have the same name as your new site, just to remind you what's in there. Let's call it f.e. "site2". Save this new "index" page in this "site2" folder. Now go on and publish this index page, using the same IP, username and password, but in the "Folder" field type "public_html/site2"

This way the new "index" page will only be relevant to the new site.

When people type in their browser www.site2.com they will automatically get there. That's provided that you have added correctly the new domain as addon domain and you have set up correctly the DNS

HeyHEYHey!

Nope, sorry!
Even if you create and publish a separate page from dd2.com, it would still be published within that account, within that "website" directory, right?
To see that page (even though it is conceptually different from dd2.com) you would still have to navigate through dd2 to see it, no matter what you name it....follow?
If you have another domain, simply go to your VH Control Panel and add a Sub-Domain (follow the tutorials!) --- you do not have to move the domain, you know --- and then you can publish a whole new website! No need to run around the fence of dd2.com!!!

** Before you do the add sub-domain, go in My Documents (via Windows Explorer - normally), open your Blue Voda folder, and add a NEW FOLDER, naming it whatever that new domain is.....then (still in WinExplorer) move that initial webpage to the new folder.

If you have that new domain somewhere else, go to that User Panel and change the DNS to the same server numbers of your present VH account, found in the original confirmation email. >> If you can't find it THAT way, go through the motions of publishing a page in BV, stopping just before PUBLISH to write down the IP address it shown in the top line....then go to vodahost.com and then click to the page to LOGON/Control Panel to find a listing of all the DNS servers referenced by the IP addresses...that is how to find the DNS servers you will need to modify your "elsewhere" domain to.

should look like this:
NS??.VODAHOST.COM
NS??.VODAHOST.COM

THEN (finally), publish the webpage again retitled as index, being sure to now add the newdomainame thusly in the Publish Dialog Box:
public_html/newdomainname

Poof! You should now see your newly published independent website!

Lemme know how it works out?

Sorry, General!
(Mine took longer, I guess!....Did you get to MY thread in "Forums"??)

To Vasili and The General....

Goodness you guys are the BEST! I neglected to set up a new FOLDER! I believe I did everything else, but will double check now that you both have given such great instructions. And to think I was about ready to turn this computer off, knowing I would toss and turn trying to figure it out! Now I shall be up for a while longer!

Hey, I just might move up in rank if my brain doesn't soon get in gear!

Will check back with you later...

LOLOL!
When I first started swimming in the Forum, I was a First Sergeant before I knew it.....I even complained that I was "getting stripes by gripes!"
Look at me now....won't be long until I get a STAR...IF they'll have me!

Post away, Lady D! >> If you steer by peer, we ALL have reason to cheer!


PS- Still like your new "do"! Remember??? LOLOL

Oh yes, I remember! And you are indeed a sweetheart even if you don't have a "Star" . Stripes looked quite well on you! And the Colonel emblem is very impressive!

Getting punchy at 3 a.m. BUT it is now working! Did a quickie index page, published, and waaaaalaaaaaa www.eightballcc.com is now viewable. (Not much to see....but thanks to you and The General it is there!)

Big Hugs coming thru cyberspace! Will catch up with you later...gotta get me some stripes!

FANTASTIMOSO!


"Your Success Is Our Success!"

*LOL* Way too Fantastimoso!

Once again...thanks so much! Catch up with you again when I run into another problem!

That's what I love about this entire organization...a great product and great people who are willing to take the time to help others who are less knowledgeable! Hopefully one day I will be able to help someone!

Hello,
I have watched all of the tutorial videos and have even read through the forums. My question is when I add on domains is there any way for the website to just be the new domain name. for example.
if my main site is www.mainsite.com and then I add on other domains can't the other domains just be www.2nddomain.com or www.3rddomian.com I have paid for 2 additional domains and when I go to them they are not my site, I did a who is, and they are registered to me. when I went through the control panel to add the domain as instructed and then I published as instructed even using the "public_???/2nddomain. but the only way to get to my site online is www.2nddomain.mainsite.com what am I doing wrong.

Hi, this is george from Nigeria. I discovered this site and I first of all like to say a big hello to all the members of vodahost. I sincerely hope that this will be the beginning of good fortunes for my company on the creation of this website amongst others.

You have probably not yet set up the nameservers of the new domains. You must enter your CP - not the VH one, but the VHdomains, or your Voda modernbilling CP, or the CP of your registrar if he's a third party, - and change the nameservers to be the same as the ones of your main site. After that, if you have correctly setup the addon domains in your VH CP, your new sites will be directly accessible. Please allow 24 -48 hrs for dns propagation.

Hi Georgee, welcome in Vodaland. Happy website building.

Hello, I find so much help on this forum, but I haven't seen the solution to this. My main site is www.filomi.com and I purchased a new add-on domain name jimdhardysports.com and received a confirmation letter on July 17. I understand that I have to wait for a welcome letter. When it didn't arrive I went back to check the status and purchased it again, and it was still availsble which I found stange. Also when trying to re purchase it and logging in to my account my password would not work.

Perhaps this will help you....

I can only suggest to check id the procedure was completed the first time or not. If it has not been completed (with payment), it gets aborted after 24 hours. As for the loggin, check again. Where did you purchase your domain the first time? in Vodahost Domains, or through the $2.95 offer?

Hi,

I have just purchased a domain name from a other sources.. and have the nameservers to ns1.vodahost.com and ns2.vodahost.com. also I have created an "addon" domain using cpanel

I went to "ftp manager' under cpanel and notice that the add on domain is there...

When I created an index.html to be upload to /public.html/site2, how come the index.html has not shown yet.

May I know how long we vodahost.com propagnate the domain transfer?

Thanks,
Eddy

Try to see if your new home page is accessible with the link http://www.oldsite.com/site2 If yes, then your index page is correctly published, and it should only be a question of DNS propagation which may take up to 48 hrs (in very rare cases 72 hrs)

If not, then your new index page has not been published correctly.

I am trying to purchase a new domain name through Voda Host Domain Wizard. I have entered c-cubed.com into the register and it shows that it is already registered. When I then check Whois it shows that c-cubed.com is available. How can I obtain this domain name?

Yours truly,

hi

I did an add-on for my domain name, www.mymlmblog.com After I redirect it to www.mymlmblog.com/index.html in CP and installed wordpress via fantastico for my blog, I couldn't go to http://mymlmblog.com/wp-admin/ to do a post in my blog. Why is this so? All I can see is that my domain in parked.

Please Advice and Thanks In Advance.

Alex

www.mymlmblog.com is registered thtough Godaddy.com. If you have set your blog in your VodaHost account, you need to enter your Godaddy CP and set the DNS to point at your VH account servers.

i have read your instruction, followed it throughand added a new domain to my account epropertie.co.uk, but only my index page comes up www.choirsound.com. the rest of the pages do not load and says "the requested url is not found". can you please help me. thanks
