Been browsing the site and would value your opinions.
Addon domains are supplied by some webhosts and not others, one of the hosts who does not supply any addon domains puts across a good argument that they can overload a server if they get out of control.
How do others apparently manage these with no problems?
I have 2 wordpress blogs, and I'd like a few different domains to be shared on each of them.
Using some exemples, suppose I have domains from domainA.com to domainE.com. domainA.com is my main domain and the others are addon domains.
Today Blog1 is using blog.domainA.com, and domainB.com and domainC.com use WebRedirect to blog.domainA.com. And Blog2 uses domainD.com with WebRedirect on domainE.com too.
To access a post like /2008/02/02/this-is-a-nice-post, it is available only at blog.domainA.com, and not by domains B and C. I'd like they 3 to be able to access all posts directly, without redirecting to domain A.
To do that, I suppose I'd need to do some config on cPanel. And also on wordpress, even if I replicate it over other domains it insists to redirect to its configured domain.
I was thinking on the possibility of using symbolic link (ln -s) on their folders to blog.domainA.com folder, but I don't have access to shell on SSH so I'd like to know if it would work before trying.
In a real exemple of what I want, these domains all share the same phpBB forum: forumpcs.com.br, extremepc.com.br, forumdohardware.com.br.
Do u know if symbolic link would work to share the same wordpress? And how to make wordpress stop redirecting to blog.domainA.com?
When I try to addon a domain, i always got this error message.
Error from park wrapper: Using nameservers with the following IPs: 76.74.137.77,76.74.137.135 Sorry, the domain is already pointed to an IP address that does not appear to use DNS servers associated with this server. Please transfer the domain to this servers nameservers or have your administrator add one of its nameservers to /etc/ips.remotedns and make the proper A entries on that remote nameser
always getting this error when I try to addon a domain to a main account
The domain is correctly pointing to my ip's as well..
I have a main domain "main.com" and when I make a new addon domain "new.com", it creates a new DNS Zone for "new.com" but also adds a subdomain DNS entry to
main.com "new.main.com".
I know that is very typical way that cpanel works, and I know there are ways to work around this by using .htaccess.
What I am trying to discover is if removing the "new" subdomain DNS entry under main.com could cause any problems. Are there side effects? Will this break anything within my VPS?
I am not a reseller, but I currently use a reseller account to manage several separate sites of mine. I know that it is possible under a standard cPanel account to have addon domains, where the html files go in a subfolder of the main domain. If you do this:
- is it possible for people to access the addon site files using www.maindomain/addondomain, and if so can you stop this?
- do you still get separate email addresses and spamassassin settings for the addon domain?
- do you get separate web server logs for each domain, for stats?
- is there any other reason why it might still be better to pay more for a reseller account so that each site can be managed completely separately?
Does GoDaddy support addon domains (like assigning www.domainname.com to a DIR on your site)?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a shared hosting account. VPS or dedicated is not an option.
I use CPanel.
For example, www .maindomain. com is the primary domain associated with the hosing account.
When adding subdomains or addon domains, a new directory is created in the public_html directory of my hosting account.
These new directories hold all the files for the sub domains and addon domains.
My problem is that the directory that holds the subdomain or addon domain CAN BE accessed from:
[url]
or
www .maindomain. com/addon_domain_directory/
thus,
www .addon_domain. com can be accessed from it's own URL as well as
www .maindomain. com/addon_domain_directory/
Is there a solution that DOES NOT allow this to happen?
If my main domain could have it's own directory under public_html, that would be great, but I do not know if this is possible.
A directory structure like this:
-public_html
-maindomain
-subdomain
-addon domain
I have read about addon domains but I have still one doubt regarding same. Suppose I have buy two domains which have no any relationship with each other like one is of my family (viralshah3112andfamily.com) and one is for my uncle's business site (xyz.com) . Now if I host them in one account as addon domain, both will have different identity? Means both will have different URL like xyz.com and viralshah3112andfamily.com. Is it so?
View 8 Replies View RelatedI have a reseller account in WHM and CPANEL.
With that I have a range of sites under it created in Cpanel under addon domains.
Everything works fine, then suddenly everything goes down, and all leads to the main site.
Reason is, it shows all the domains in Cpanel as parked!
Even removing them from there or WHM causes it to dissappear from the addon section and not show up online.
Now it happened months ago where httpd.conf file had to be edited manually.
And it just happened about 30hrs ago.
Does anyone know why this would happen? I have asked my datacentre 3 times, with no clear answer about it, except it just does.
How can it be prevented in future?
Also asked my datacentre this with no answer.
Will be putting up a review of them soon, and it will be the complete opposite of what I thought of them before.
I mean create addon domains inside the same directory like cpanel do with H-Sphere?
So you can access the site in both URLS like sub section of your main site and same as its own domain.
MainBigSite.com/MusicSite
MusicSite.com
So you can show like MusicSite.com also a part of MainBigSite when user go through MainBigsite.com direct users from google can go with MusicSite.com
Using that MainBigSite.com will get lot of pages indexed in google coz its hwoing URLs of MusicSite.com too.
If there is no option to do that or any way to change H-Sphere, Can you please tell me how to do it manually? What files to edit and steps?
After i did that it will cause problems with H-Sphere?
I'm trying to understand more the Pro's and Con's for having an Addon Domain vs Separate domain.
Here's my use for it. Site1.com holds all the files, Site2.com holds all the video and images. When it comes time to add a second server (end of this year) I could move Site2.com to a second server and nfs mount it. Thats of the site is separate. PROBLEM: separate site means permission problems, when write code ie.php you can unlink / move files without permission which means setting up special groups.
Addon domain doesn't have the permission problem from what I can see, since the domain gets the group access of the Mainsite. so no extra configuration required. now the problem would be how do I get that addon domain to a second server to offload some of the resources.
I hawe about 60 websites. I need hosting for it.
SO the criterias:
Unlimited addon domain.
Unlimited Mysql databases.
No setup fees.
About 600Mb webspase
About 2000-3000 trafic
Cheap as posible
If posible (but not necesary) multiple IP's.
Payment from PayPal but if it's necesarry then it's Moneybookers ok to.
Prefer monthly payments.
If posible than MySQLi suport will be great.
Lets say I have abcd.com as the main domain on cpanel. abcd.com has 10 subdomains.
Basically what I want to do is when I do an addon domain or parked domain I want the subdomains to basically point to abcd.com automatically. Let's say the addon/parked
domain is 1234.com
For example I have
sub.abcd.com as the main subdomain
so when I type in sub.1234.com I want it pointed to sub.abcd.com internally meaning the script/files from there however in the browser show as if it were sub.1234.com
When a hosting said: 10 domain addons, does it mean, I can have up to 10 domains with different content?
In other words, the 10 domain will NOT point to the same content.?
i created a script for WHM, and i set it up. It in PHP, it works fine from the admin interface. But when i logon to that addon through a clients interface, it doesn't read the PHP... it just displays the code as if it were a txt file... So i was just wondering is there a way around this? or like PHP is just not meant to be used as for an WHM addon from both admin and client interface?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI recently leased my first VPS. I have my master site setup, and 4 other personal sites that I'll be migrating to the VPS. (Later, I'll be hosting customer sites on the VPS as I develop them.)
My question is, what would be the best way to add my 4 other personal sites to the VPS, as addons to the main domain, or give them each their own account and cPanel and manage them separately?
How would you set it up? (I'm having trouble adding up all the +'s and -'s.)
I have a domain with 2 addon domains added to it.
Lets call the domain1.com and the addons are domain2.com and domain3.com
I transfered the sites from one server to my server and know if I try to goto domain2.com or domain3.com they are not found.
If I goto domain1.com/domain2 (or 3) it works just fine though.
I tried to do the addon domain in cpanel but it is coming up with the following errors.
Bind reloading on server using rndc zone: [domain1.com] The subdomain, domain2.domain1.com has been added.
Error from park wrapper: domain2.com is already configured.
Removed domain2.domain1.com Server at line: 1244. Removed Entry from httpd.conf Bind reloading on server using rndc zone: [domain1.com] The subdomain, domain2.domain1.com has been removed.
domain2.com could not be setup. The subdomain domain2.domain1.com was not setup either.
How can I fix this?
I did try to make domain2 its own account after that, but the script did not work for some reason even though it does if I goto domain1.com/domain2.
I know it must be something simple I am missing, but for the life of me I am drawing a blank.
Also, I moved the site by doing a complete backup in Cpanel and uploaded that to the new server and restored it from the WHM backup screen.
I currently have an established domain, mainsite.com, which is running PHP-Nuke on the directory /home, with a redirect accordingly.
Now, I've created an addon domain, 2ndsite.com, for which I've installed Wordpress at the top-level.
The trouble is, 2ndsite.com defaults to mainsite.com/home - unless I redirect 2ndsite.com to mainsite.com/2ndsite. If I do that, I can then see my WordPress installation.
I'd obviously like to have 2ndsite.com be viewed from that address, as opposed to a subdir under mainsite.com - that is why I got the domain in the first place.
Transferred an account from one cpanel box to another. The addon domain now shows 403. There is no haccess inside the addon user folder.

Apache is working on your cPanel and WHM⢠Server" cPanel and Apache page. The domain is already more then 2 days and ping already propogate to server. May i know is httpd.conf or mod_security problem?
Can a domain be parked on an addon domain in a cPanel server?
At first thought I do not see it as a problem as a ServerAlias directive for the parked inside the addon domain Virtual Host container inside httpd.conf is all is required but cPanel may not allow for all it's wisdom.
Let me know if cPanel would pose a problem or wouldn't allow this scenario.
The scripts in the scripts library in Cpanel are not working for one client.
I just installed a few add on scripts and when the client clicks on the link to install any of them the forms to fill in the details and install are not showing.
They are working for all other clients, just one not working on one clients account.
I got many complaints from our customer that are using addon domain facilites. They cannot add mail account, see site stats, etc. I checked on /var/cpanel/users, there's no domain for addon domain they have but DNS zone is still there.
When I log in to their CPANEL, addon domain was still there too.
Anyone have the same issues? We have this problem raised since about 2 weeks ago on 4 of our servers.
I have setup an Addon Domain in cPanel.
[url]is pointing to:
[url]
That is working fine, test it for yourself.
However, I want the URL in the browser to read: [url]but currently as you can see the long URL appears.
How can I make the short clean URL appear in the browser?
Currently, 2 domains hosted on a dedicated server with each account having its own Cpanel. I'm going to move/migrate these 2 domains to a shared hosting server.
The shared hosting accont has Cpanel and I've added 2 Add-on domains (the same ones on the dedicated). In total, there are 3 domains under the shared hosting account; The main domain and the 2 other (add-on) domains.
My question is it possible to restore these 2 accounts under a single cpanel account and having all the emails intact? So, in essence, I'm having a single cpanel account to manage the 2 domains to be transferred from the dedicated.
