[Answered] Deleting Account, But Keeping Using Url?

[stephan22]

Hi all! Just a query/question. A community (which I belong to) has created an account here a while back. I am the only one now still contributing to it, so now I would like to delete the account and place that site on mine as an addon domain.

 

Now my question, can I do this (I have the files and stuff locally)?? Would heliohost allow me to use the url in the addons panel, or do I have to delete the account first and then wait a bit?

 

Thanks for your help!

 

ps. I also want to do it because I feel guilty that the site only uses about 7MB and it really wastes the whole 500MB that is allowed.

Is the site a heliohost sub domain, something like this, mysite.heliohost.org? If so you'll need to delete it first and then create the new account. If it has it's on domain name then sure you could have it as an addon domain on your site. Go here and delete the account and after I see you've deleted it, I'll speed up the process:

Sorry to be confused, but let me get strait. If it is on like a .tk domain I still need to delete it??

 

 

ok I have read is a couple of times and I'm gonna do it.

 

the account I'll delete is splusftw -> http://splusdev.tk

 

my account is stephan -> http://onetechie.tk

 

and I want to use http://splusdev.tk as addon domain for 'stephan' (just thought I'd re-say/-phrase that)

thanks for helping!

Yes you'd still need to delete it so that you don't have 2 accounts.

 

I'm not seeing any accounts with this name in our database: http://splusdev.tk

Must've already done it. .-.

 

DO I need a sub-domain to make a addon domain work? Because I'm getting a 404 not found when I access splusdev.tk , but in the filemanager I have the index.php file. ?

When you create the addon domain at cpanel, it will automatically create a subdomain during the creation process. Also you'll need to wait at least 24 hours after you've created the addon domain for it to work.

Thank you for your help! Will ask if another problem occurs, but it doesn't seem like it.

 

Thanks for being awesome btw (heliohost/-net is also!)
