    Default Multiple Web Sites per Account

    How do you host multiple sites per account. Do you have to build them in different packages, such as oscemmerce for one, Blue Voda for an other etc? and if so how do you load them up to different locations so that the URL's are www.abcdef.co.uk and say www.xyz.co.uk ?

    Hello

    My experience only extends to building multiple sites using Bluevoda and using the built in publishing feature.

    The important thing to realise is that yes you can host as many sites as you like on your account providing all those sites (domains) are owned by you!

    If you are building for others, then each should have their own hosting account.

    To publish a 2nd site on your account (or addon) you add the new domain in your CP. Make sure the domain name is pointing to VH name servers as per your first site.

    When publishing your second site you manually change the folder at the point of publishing.

    eg

    public_html/nameofsecondsite.co.uk

    I hope this helps

    Darren

    Can you please describe in greater detail how you add another domain name to the CPanel and how you manually change the folder. I am not quite following you. My two domain names are totally different topics.

    I follow the tutorial but what I dont follow is if you put it in the public_html file that is where all my oscommerce is loaded for the existing site so wont they get muddled up?

    Sorry if I am being thick but I just dont get how you segragate the information for the different sites.

    No worries

    Your first site gets saved in the public_html file. I publish addon sites in BV as illistrated below.

    Can I check with you that you have gone into your CPanel and added your addon domain there as per the tutorials?

    Yes I have looked at adding domain there, which is where it says 'root file' and suggest in tutorial you put public_html but that is where my oscommerce is and I use smart ftp to upload files which uploads them directly to the folder.

    I don't know which tutorial you are looking at but this is the one you need

    http://www.vodahost.com/demowolf/cpa..._x2_addon.html

    and then follow my screen shot for publishing.

    I was watching the X3 version. I do not have a publish like yours as I normally build in oscommerce and upload by SmartFTP as I said in my earlier reply. So I am trying to follow your instructions and adapt them to my needs.

    I think I am getting confused in that it says whichever version you look at that the files are uploaded to www.abc.co.uk/demo1234 folder when old site is www.abc.co.uk and new site is demo1234.co.uk so how will site get accessed.

    I think I a getting very confused and I dont want to risk upsetting present site and getting it all messed up when I add the new site.

    Exclamation Re: Multiple Web Sites per Account

    I have published the index page of my new add-on domain and I see the file in my folder but the page does not show up on browser. Instead I see a page that says
    Great Success !
    Apache is working on your cPanel® and WHM™ Server

    what do i do ?!

    Thats good... So its either waiting for you to change the name servers of the domain to those of VH, or you already have and you are waiting for it to probgate (can take up to 48 hours)

    I understand how to add the add/on domain and how to publish the site but what I don't understand is how to name it so it comes up when you put the domain name in your browser.

    In other words; the first domain is named index, so what is the second one named?

    Sounds dumb I know but that's my problem.

    Help!

    it can also be named index. there won't be any mix up with your first site because your add-on domain will be in a separate folder INSIDE the public_html folder. take a look at previous post by DCOFFICESERVICES.

    in the publish popup window, manually edit the FOLDER with whatever you named your add-on domain in cpanel. =P

    I totally agree with you and still dont understand this manually naming folder within public_html and how when somebody types in www.xyz.com that it finds rather than the first site www.abc.co.uk and that it doesn't become www.abc.co.uk/xyz.

    If anybody can explain this clearly to me I would appreciate it.

    regards

    Do a 'who is' search on google and find a domain checker (usually the first one) enter your url and then all the details relating to that domain are there including name servers. Double check that those name servers are those of Vodahost. If every thing is check, then post your url here and someone here will take a look.

    when I set up the add on domain in cpanel, I left out '.COM ' in USERNAME/DIRECTORY/SUBDOMAIN NAME because i get an error msg
    " The username for for the addon domain cannot contain '.' "
    Is this the problem ?!

    Yes your domain is definately pointing to VH servers. Unless anyone else here can step in and help I would suggest submitting a support ticket by clicking on customer support in this forum.
