Ryutso Posted June 12, 2010 Share Posted June 12, 2010 Does an addon domain mean that I can host 2 domains from one account as long as I point them at the heliohost nameservers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryutso Posted June 12, 2010 Author Share Posted June 12, 2010 Yes So one will point to a folder called "sfajkadfhkdfjhg" and the other will point to a folder called "thkjuhslvjk" right? But will it say "www.site1.com/sfajkadfhkdfjhg" in the URL? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Byron Posted June 12, 2010 Share Posted June 12, 2010 This is how I have my addon domain set up on my site. Addon Domain: http://alpha1omega.uni.cc My main domain and addon domain folder: http://byrondallas.heliohost.org/alpha1omega/ Does that help you understand?

Oh so people will still be able to get to the addon domain from the main domain. Would I have to do something to have 2 totally separate sites on my 1 account? Like I want site1.com and site2.com to be hosted in my root folder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't have two totally seperate domains in your root folder. You'll have to create another folder to have an addon domain. That folder will then have it's own cgi-bin and ftp. You can add another Parked domain and have two seperate domain names going to your heliohost account. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Byron Posted June 12, 2010 Share Posted June 12, 2010 So I can't host two totally different, completely separate sites under one account? Yes you can. I think your getting confused. With my account here: http://byrondallas.heliohost.org I can create a seperate folder called alpha1omega and turn it into an addon domain called: http://alpha1omega.uni.cc and people will go to that domain through that domain name and it will be a totally seprate account. It will have it's own ftp so that you don't even go through the main accounts ftp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't want that. I don't want people to be able to type "site1.com/site2" and get to the second site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The folder name and domain name don't have to be the same. I could have named the folder any name I wanted, I just kept them the same for the sake of simplicity. So nobody has to know it's an addon domain unless you tell them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
