cpanel asks for the name you wish to use. MAKE SURE the subdomain name
you give it doesn't have a folder already named that name. If it does
the sub will not work. Example... I want to create the subdomain
test.hostgator.com so my sub name is going to be test. If I already
have a folder in my ftp named test I need to delete it or rename it to
something different before I create the subdomain with the test name
from cpanel.
Q. What is a subdomain?
A. www.domain.com is a domain name. A subdomain is
anything that replaces the www in a domain name. forum.aol.com
is a subdomain. www.forum.aol.com is not a subdomain.
Addon Domains
Q. What is an addon
domain?
A. An addon domain is a fully functional domain that
will work out of a folder in your main sites ftp.
Q.
READ THIS BEFORE
SETTING UP AN ADDON DOMAIN!
You cannot create an addon domain if your dns hasn't
proprograted to the server already. So after you change the sites dns
you are trying to add you will need to wait 24-48 hours before
attempting to create your addon domain.
A. There are three fields cpanel asks for when creating
an addon domain.
1. "New Domain Name:"
You will put in the newdomain.com do not put www in the name!
2. "Username/directory/subdomain
Name:" This will be the folder cpanel creates in your main accounts
ftp. MAKE SURE that the name you give it doesn't already have a folder.
Example... If you want to give it the username chris. You cannot have a
folder in your account named chris already. If you do and still try
creating the username for the addon domain to be chris you will mess a
lot of things up!!!
3. "Password:" fill in any password
you want here.
Q. Help I added an
addon domain why did it say subdomain added?!!?
A. It creates it as a subdomain by creating the folder
within your main sites ftp. Please ignore this! It is a fully
functional domain name. It is only called a subdomain when in fact it
is an addon domain.
