[Solved] Request to Add Addon Domain with Separate Directory

[goranpostas]

Hello,

My username is goranpostas.

I would like to request that the domain horoskop.life be added to my account as an addon domain.

Please configure it to point to the following separate directory:

/home/goranpostas/horoskop/

I would like to keep my main domain
goranpostas.helioho.st pointing to the default document root:

/home/goranpostas/httpdocs/

This setup will allow me to keep the main domain as a development environment and use horoskop.life as the production website.

Thank you very much for your assistance.

Best regards,
Goran

Plesk doesn't do /home/username/ it does /home/maindomain/ which in your case would be /home/goranpostas.helioho.st/ I've actually looked into whether it would be possible to reconfigure Plesk to do /home/username/ because I would prefer that too, but it isn't possible.

Hello,

Thank you for the clarification regarding the Plesk directory structure.

Please configure the addon domain horoskop.life to point to:

/home/goranpostas.helioho.st/horoskop/

I would like to keep the main domain goranpostas.helioho.st pointing to:

/home/goranpostas.helioho.st/httpdocs/

Thank you very much.

Best regards,
Goran

When we add an addon domain the default directory structure is /home/goranpostas.helioho.st/horoskop.life/ Can you explain why you can't use the default, and need to have the tld removed from the directory?

Hello,

Thank you for the clarification.

There is no technical issue — I just wanted to keep a shorter directory name for organizational reasons.

Using the default directory:

/home/goranpostas.helioho.st/horoskop.life/

is perfectly fine.

Please proceed with the default configuration.

Thank you very much.

Best regards,
Goran

The domain has been added, but in order to actually host it with us you must do 1 of the following 2 options.

1. Use our nameservers by logging in to your registrar and setting your NS records to ns1.heliohost.org and ns2.heliohost.org
2. Use any external DNS that you want, Cloudflare is a popular free option, and create an A record with the value 64.62.151.106 and an AAAA record with the value 2001:470:1:1ee::2009

Thank you for adding the domain and for your detailed explanations and assistance throughout the process.

I truly appreciate the time and effort you’ve invested in helping me configure everything properly.

Your support is greatly valued.

Best regards,
Goran
