    Default More then one index page

    Hello All
    Have looked at the tutorials and searched the community support forum, cannot find exactly what I need.
    I have 5 domain names and I would like to use all five for different items.
    I have build the pages and named them. After publishing only the first name comes up. After I have my main index page, can I have more then one index page, like index_abcd.html? For clarity all pages are separate. Am I thinking correctly on this?
    Thank you for any help

    Yes create a folder for each site (within your BV folder) and when you create the index page save it (along with all the other pages for that site) into that folder.

    Thank you
    My index page works, my other 4 pages do not. Two keep taking me to the original page I set up a month ago and two the internet cannot find?
    The first page was saved as index.
    The second page was saved as index_credit.html
    The other pages were saves in a similar way the second page was saved.
    I think I understand want you told me but things not working correctly.

    index_credit.html isn't going to cut it. Each folder should have its own index page.

    You say you have 5 domains (I am guessing you are using one of them anyway)

    In BV create 4 additional folders (for simplicity, I'll call them website2, website3, website4, website5) in which to save the relative BV pages. Each folder will have its own index page (don't forget this).

    On the server, use BlueFtp, log in etc etc and find your main website on the right (will call it website1). If this is your only website this will be in the public_html folder. In this folder create 4 new sub folders, again for simplicity I'll call them, website2, website3, website4, website5. Good you now have folders to publish to.

    Now back to BV, open the folder you are working on and publish the pages to the correct folder on the server. You will have to manually edit the publishing dialogue box to public_html/website2 or public_html/website3 and so on

    so a url may look like http://www.website1.com/website2

    Hopefully this follows on from what Ed said using subfolders?

    .................................................. ................................

    The other way of course as you have other domains to use. is to create addon domains in the Cpanel. Make sure the domains name servers are those of VH. Folders will automatically be created on the server,

    Same rules in BV, seperate folder for each content and similar rules for publishing

    publish to public_html/website2.com

    Each addon domain will have its unique url ie http://www.website2.com/ and so on.

    Hope this helps?
    Happy Building

    Hi Steve,

    You can have as many websites with different domain names as you want.

    You hosting account will remain as the 1st you registered with VodaHost.

    Your public_html is set to the above domain.

    All additional domains you will have to add as an " Add-On Domain" from your cPanel.

    They will appear as a Folder in your "public_html".


    Under these folders which you had added your Add-On Domains will be all the other websites you created.

    Publish your "index" pages for each different websites to their respective folders.

    Note: You will only be provided One cPanel for all the Domains you added to your hosting account.

    State of Johor.

    HAPPY ARE THOSE WHO DREAM DREAMS AND ARE READY TO PAY THE PRICE TO MAKE THEM COME TRUE.

    Hi Guys sorry I am back
    Not getting a handle on this. Tried your earlier response, still need help.
    Darren in your response you stated “If this is your only website”, it is not.
    Each domain will have it’s own website, I think this is why I cannot figure this out. I have the first website up and working, and is saved as index.html. The second and so on I have tried to save them with index_xxxx, without Index, just xxxx.html, and so on. All domains were added when I first started, so all are in Cpanel and FTP mgr already.
    How should these be saved so they will publish and show up on the web?
    Again
    Thank you
    Steve1052

    let me try?
    1. you save your home page as index, not index.html or any other extension on the word index.
    2. now you have 5 more pages on this website and you call these page1, page2 etc... and you save these to your public_html

    • you have an add on domain website and it is called www.addonwebsite1.com - you have to develop this add on through your control panel. there is a very good tutorial on this. Before you start to make the pages:
    1. on your hard drive, in the blue voda folder you create a new folder called addonwebsite1
    2. you create a new home page for this website and you save it as index, again not index.html or any other extension for this page.
    3. you must save this page in the new folder that you created on your hard drive.
    4. you create the new page1, page2, etc.... and you save it to the folder you created on your hard drive.
    5. now you are ready to publish this and you make sure you have the proper ip address, username and password in the publish box. where you have public_html you put on the extension /addonwebsite1.com
    6. then you publish it.

    • you have a 3rd website and it is called www.addonwebsite2.com - again you develop this in the control panel
    1. you make a new folder on your hard drive in the blue voda folder called addonwebsit2.
    2. you make your home page for this site and you save it as index. make sure you save this page in the new folder
    3. you make all your pages for this site \
    4. you save all these pages in the correct folder
    5. you publish with the extension /addonwebsite2.com after public_html
    hope that helps.

    Hello Again
    First thank you for your help. I don’t mean to belabor this point; maybe I am just not explaining myself correctly. Please be patient with me.
    I had build a website with Nav bars, internal links the whole 9 yards. Everything worked just fine, except the desired results. So I dismantled it and created separate pages or sites. They are www.tdsproducts.biz (the main domain), then there are .org,. info, .net. The biz site works just fine, the others not so much, I get 404 errors or not found.
    In the FTP Mgr I have the folders in public_html. When I click on them all of the info is there and things look good. All looks covered, ftp mgr, files in place, add on domains, etc. Do I have to save each site as index? Because when I build a site and save it, they end up in the Blue Voda Files (*.bvp) area. And only one index page is allowed. So how do I save the sites in this area so I can publish?
    If there is a tutorial or something I should be reading or looking at please advise.
    With the files in ftp mgr I tried to publish public_html/www.tdsproducts.org, but it did not work. Very sorry I am not getting this; please don’t give up on me just yet.
    Thank you for your help

    Steve you have to save the first page to any site as index.

    With your publishing of this addon should be public_html/tdsproducts.org (leave out the www)

    OK, thank you
    Steve you have to save the first page to any site as index.
    With all sites ending up in the Blue Voda (*.bvp) how do you do that? This is my problem. Everything else is working, I don't know why I can't get a handle on this.
    public_html/tdsproducts.org, because I don't have the site saved as index this is why it is not working?

    Steve if you imagine everything as folders and in each folder are the contents of your website.

    You've set up your addon domains, so another words you have created seperate folders in which your web pages will be saved.

    In Bv you have to do the same thing, Create seperate folders for each addon domain ( if you don't you will start overwriting pages)

    Now for each website you are working on in BV, make sure you save these pages in the appropriate folder. These websites can be 1 page or 1000 pages but page number 1 must be saved as index.

    Now when you publish these pages, just make sure you publish them to the correct folder on the server ie: public_html/tdsproducts.org

    Yes you are right all the pages are saved a .bvp. When you publish them they are processed and converted to .html.

    ....Hey Steve,
    let me try to explain my situation & see if that helps you.....
    I have 3 sites: www.david.com - www.david. net & www.david.org
    david.com is my main site with which I opened an account with VH
    I then bought david.net & david.org and have them in my account as "add-on" domains
    OK -so in my BlueVoda software I build my opening page "index" (no quotes!) for david.com & in the publishing drop-down "folder" window I select public_html
    Next I open a new folder in BV & call it david.net....I build my index page & save it as index BUT when I come to publish I type in the "folder" window public_html/david.net - I then save this page in my david.net folder in my BV files.
    For david.org I repeat the procedure as per david.net BUT in the publishing drop-down "folder" window I type public_html/david.org. I have also created a new folder in BV named david.org in which I will save all pages bult for this site.
    So, you see, you CAN have as many "index" pages as you have domains - you just have to be careful about having the right name in the folder window when publishing & remember to keep all pages for the 3 sites saved in their respective files in BV.
    Hope this clears things for you.....
    david

    When you open a new folder in Blue Voda [untitled1], what do you mean you call it? I only see save page, save page as or save as template? In BV I have all of my pages and to name or call with more then one name, sorry no idea. Sorry if this makes you what to pull your hair out and I am not trying to be difficult, I just want to get it. I don’t see where you can name a page, build it and then save it as index all in BV (*bvp)?
    I build my index page & save it as index, is this in BV (*bvp)?

    When you work on a new page. Click File > Save as and give the page a name (ie index). Also locate the folder you want to save it in. If the folder doesn't yet exist, you will see a folder with a red asterisk on it which allows you to create one.

    Ideally you want a seperate folder for each site in which you save the appropriate pages.

    Steve re-read this thread over and over, I know you are probably pulling your hair out too. The penny will drop.

    Hey Steve,
    If you haven't already talked to Mr Magoo.......
    seems to me you're confusing "page" with "folder"....so.....
    open your BV software, click on "open an existing page" - move your mouse over an empty space on this window & right click - up comes a menu - select "new" - click "file" - bingo! name this "file".........("FOLDER"!!) the name of whichever site you're working on - when you finish building the page for this site "save page as" & file it in this folder. Do this for each of your sites & that's what we mean by having a folder for every site....OK?
    I hope so.......
    david
