OK, if you aren't new to this blog, you may have heard me mention once or twice that you can host unlimited web sites with just one hosting account at GoDaddy. However, I haven't explained how, which is what will be covered in this post. I decided to write this post after sifting through the keywords in Google Analytics and came across "godaddy install multiple wordpress". Whoever came here using that keyword probably left without the knowledge they were looking for. Hopefully that's not the case next time.
What Do You Actually Get From The GoDaddy Hosting Package?
I covered the features of the GoDaddy hosting package in a previous post but I will go over it again quickly here.
The package that I often recommend to anyone that is serious about making a start online is the 12 month Linux Deluxe Plan. With this plan you are automatically given a 5% discount for paying the year in advance. The cost would be $79.68 which breaks down to $6.64 per month. This purchase entitles you to a domain name for $1.99 which allows you to own the domain for 1 year. Any additional domains you buy GoDaddy usually charges around $10.00 depending on the type (.com, .org, etc.). The main features of the deluxe plan include:
- 150 GB Storage
- 1,500 GB Transfer
- 500 Email Accounts
- Unlimited Web Sites
- 25 MySQL Databases
- Unlimited Email Forwards
- $25.00 Google AdWords Credit
- $50.00 Microsoft adCenter Credit
- ...and more recently, $50.00 Facebook Credit
There are more features, but those are the most important. It's definitely enough reason to choose GoDaddy to buy hosting from.
Can You Really Host Unlimited Web Sites With GoDaddy?
Although it is a true statement that you can host unlimited sites, there are obviously some limitations. The storage quota, bandwidth quota and databases are shared by all of the sites. It would take a lot of sites to reach the storage limit and if you are at the point where the bandwidth isn't enough then you are probably getting enough traffic to your site(s) to justify stepping up to some dedicated hosting.
It is also worth mentioning a limitation with the email addresses. Your hosting account has a main domain name attached to it. The rest of the domains are sort of sub accounts. The 500 email addresses belong to the main domain. However, when you buy other domain names you are given an email account with them. Depending on what you are doing, one email address per domain is often enough. There are a couple choices for expansion. You are given some email forwards too. You can create a forwarding email address and when any email is sent to it, the email gets forwarded to the main email address that came with domain (or any email address for that matter). Or you can simply pay for some extra email addresses. But the point here is to keep costs down and not to pay for anything unnecessarily so try to work with what is already included, or even do as I've been doing lately, use a GMail email address for each domain.
Sharing A Database With Other WordPress Installations
If you plan to take advantage of your unlimited hosting accounts and go beyond 25 you will be fresh out of databases. What to do? Well, what I do is... I create a database with a generic name and use it for several niches. During the WordPress setup it asks for the table prefix. Give it a unique table prefix and point the installation to the generic database. WordPress will handle the rest. All of the data for the new install will share the database but have it's own unique tables so it won't interfere with the other data. No worries because MySQL can handle it, it was designed to handle several requests at once. Also, that is the way WordPress's Multi User version works, it shares one fat database for all of the blogs. One note of caution though, if you plan to sell the blogs at a later date, it may be best to keep the data in separate databases. You could run some SQL commands to pull the data from the proper tables out so it's really not a huge deal.
How Can You Stay Organized Having So Many Web Sites In One Account?
It might seem like it would be difficult to keep everything organized because you are dealing with so many files from multiple sites. What I do is create a folder in the root folder called "_sites". I put the underscore in there so the folder stays near the top of the list when sorted alphabetically. And then within that folder I create a folder for each site. I make the folder name the same name as the domain. Now when I want to add files to any installation I just FTP to the main domain, open the _sites folder and find the site I want to work with and go from there. It's much easier because you don't have to handle multiple FTP accounts because normally you would need one per site. Creating the folder isn't enough to actually have the site pointed to that location when browsing. You have to tell GoDaddy what domain you want pointed where. Follow the steps below to do that.
How Do You Point Domains To The Right Place When Dealing With Unlimited Web Sites At GoDaddy?
First of all you should have purchased hosting at GoDaddy and attached your main domain to your hosting account. Then you should create the "_sites" folder as described above. Then...
- Login to your GoDaddy account.
- Choose the 'Hosting' option under 'My Products' on the left side.
- Choose the 'Manage Account' option under 'Control Panel'.
- Choose Settings, Domain Management.
- Click the 'Add Domain' button.
- Begin typing the domain name in the 'Domain' box, it should show up in a filtered list, click on the domain from the list.
- Click the 'Browse...' button and locate the folder where you want the domain to point to (likely "/_sites/domain.com")
- Click 'OK'.
Now, if you have an "index" file in that folder, or the WordPress installation files perhaps, you should be able to browse that domain and pull up the index file to your site or blog, etc. It may take a few minutes for GoDaddy to point the domain to that folder after following the steps above though. Just hit 'Refresh List' on the 'Domain Management' screen until you see 'Setup' under the 'Status' column.
Good luck... any questions, just ask.

Hi Keith,
You must have been reading my mind when writing this post. I have not maxed out my db allotment in GoDaddy yet, but your post helped me better understand how to work with databases in GoDaddy.
Do you have any advice on the following?
I currently use WordPress with GoDaddy. The folder is at mydomain.com/blog. Now I want to use WordPress to create a web site (more of a CMS) at mydomain.com.
I figure I will just install a new WordPress in the root folder (mydomain.com) rather than in an extended folder (mydomain.com/wordpress) and use a new database file. Do you foresee any problems with this approach?
Although the blog and web site will have similar content, the posts in each will be written towards different audiences.
Thanks!
April 24th, 2008 at 10:55 pm
Hey Tim,
Nope, I don’t see any problems with it at all…that’s pretty much what I would do, except I would probably even use the same db but just give the tables a different prefix. Good luck…
Thanks for stopping by.

Hi Keith,
i have a website (jpvazquez.com) with godaddy deluxe hosting. I wanted to host a different site (also using wordpress) in the same account.
Wordpress is installed in the root directory, what should i do?
Thanks

Hi Juan…Thanks for the question….this post gets into how to install another WordPress blog under the same GoDaddy account with a different domain name (closer to the end of the post if you haven’t read the whole thing). However if you want to install a blog off the root, you can simply create a folder called “blog” or something similar and install the blog as you normally would but in that newly created directory.
Hope that helps…if you still have questions, let me know.
Keith

Keith,
thanks for the quick response, the part i don’t get is the directory path….
my original site is installed in the hosting root (i think).
I don’t get how to set up the second site.
Thanks
May 14th, 2008 at 10:22 pm
Is your second site going to be under an entirely new domain name (but within the same GoDaddy account) or is it just going to be a folder off your main site? for example: http://jpvazquez.com/blog/
I assume it will be for an entirely different domain name if you refer to it as a “second site”. That is covered in this post. You would simply…create a hidden directory in the root of http://jpvazquez.com. Maybe call it “_newsites”. The underscore keeps it near the top. Now create a directory in _newsites called…say “domain_name.com”. Now you can follow the steps above to tell GoDaddy that your root folder for domain_name.com is now “_newsites/domain_name.com”. When a surfer is visiting domain_name.com in the future, GoDaddy will quietly and invisibly point them to http://jpvazquez.com/_newsites/domain_name.com
Hope that clears it up.
p.s. I emailed you as well but I wanted to put the answer here too.

Keith,
You are the closest I’ve come to any help on this subject and I’ve been digging through godaddy support for the last 24 hours.
My primary domain at godaddy is crookedbrooms.com. I am just in the process of trying to host my blog (diydiva.net) under the same godaddy account. I have suceeded in moving the the blog from wordpress.com to http://crookedbrooms.com/diydiva. I cannot for the life of me get my domain diydiva.net to direct there.
From your post I have set up diydiva.net in the domain manager. For the domain hosting path I first used “diydiva/crookedbrooms.com.” (no quotes, obviously). this gave me a 403 error. I just changed the the hosting path to just “diydiva” without crookedbrooms.com as the domain hosting path, since that is the name of the directory it is in, however now diydiva.net is being directed to the crookedbrooms.com website, not the blog.
I know this is a hosting path error, I just don’t know how to fix it. I’m almost completely illiterate when it comes to proper syntax. Am I missing a step here?
I can’t tell you how much I’d appreciate any advice you have on where I’m going wrong.
Thanks!

Hi kitliz…thanks for dropping by….I think it might be something to do with URL rewriting…if you try installing it two folder levels deep that might work…I sent you the details by email…
May 15th, 2008 at 4:01 pm
Juan,
Did you figure it out? I recently set up a 2nd domain and wordpress blog on my GoDaddy hosting account. It sounds like you may have not moved your 2nd domain over to the hosting account. If not, go to your hosting account, select ‘Hosting’ and then select ‘Managing Domains’ to see a list of other domain names that you have registered with GoDaddy but not yet added to the hosting account. Select the second domain name. When you are asked to name the file path directory, I would do what Keith recommends, which is to add ‘_’ before the name of your domain so that the folder for that domain appears in the top of your directory page when accessing your hosting account. Then, follow the rest of Keith’s steps for redirecting web page users to the correct hosting folder and adding Word Press.
May 15th, 2008 at 4:14 pm
Hey Tim…I believe we got it squared away…we got through the specifics by email….
I appreciate you dropping by though and providing some input!
I hope you are subscribed because I have a great contest coming up that you may be interested in. I’ll be discussing a site I put up that is geared towards a specific city so it might be along the lines with the stuff you are doing online with your San Diego site.
Again, thanks for coming by and dropping a helpful comment.
Keith

Thx for the tutorial , im just wondering if there is any chance that the sub domain name will stay the same like ” example.com” in the address bar instead of “root.com/_nextsite /example.com” ?
May 23rd, 2008 at 12:01 am
@Hugh
Yep, it’s all hidden from the end user…you would never know it when browsing that you are viewing a sub folder of a different site.
May 24th, 2008 at 10:45 pm
HI, I was reading through your Q/A. I hope you can help me.
I have 1 Godaddy account with a couple domains and the Deluxe hosting package. Everything works fine for the hosting of the domains under that same account I just set them up in the hosting domain management and set directories for each one.
Problem My friend has a seperate Domain registered under Godaddy. I offered to Host her site on my Hosting I set it up under domain management and set up the directories, uploaded (PUT) her site with dreamweaver and all. Site doesn’t come up.
I went to the nameserver on her domain and set it up to the same nameserver IDs that was listed on one of my other domains under the hosting account as it was listed under Custom nameserver.
Am I missing a step?
I e-mailed support to godaddy still waiting on a response. Maybe you can help me faster.
Thanks in advance.
May 24th, 2008 at 10:59 pm
@Sean T….
I wish I could help. I don’t think you can take advantage of the unlimited hosting aspect of your account unless the domain is in the same account. I could be wrong though.
If that is the case, your friend can change ownership of the domain to you and you can slide it in your account…I believe it is free but you may have to pay an additional year.
Sorry I couldn’t be more precise.
Best of luck!
June 20th, 2008 at 9:11 am
From the Domain Hosting Path list choose
–
I never get this option in my domain managment, just a drop down domain name list, I never see a second drop down for the path. Why does every tutorial on hosting two domains from the same go daddy host account include this but I cannot find such a tab, any ideas?
June 20th, 2008 at 11:16 am
Hi Brian…
I don’t know why you wouldn’t have it if you have the Deluxe package (or higher). If you trust me to log in to your account contact me with the contact form.
July 2nd, 2008 at 6:51 pm
This worked for me kind of. It does send you to that directory, but it just seems like another way of masking the domain. For example if the site is mysite.com it always displays “mysite.com” in the address bar and never something like “mysite.com/pictures” for example. and when you right click on the page you can see that it is in a frame. I would like it to act as an actual domain, is there any way possible to do this?
July 2nd, 2008 at 11:06 pm
nevermind, I just needed to wait for the masking to go away hehe. It works perfect.
July 2nd, 2008 at 11:17 pm
…glad it’s working Patrick
July 8th, 2008 at 11:58 am
Hi Keith,
I have been following your steps so far as this.
host domain:
httphold.com
created folder _sites then inside that folder created the new domain(s)
dogparvo.info and a few other domains
Went to the point of selecting assign domain to hosting site
chose (domain) dogparvo.info
selected
this is where I am stuck. I have a new box below that says the domain
then underneath that I have a new box which says Sub Domain
If I go to sub domain and put in
_sites/dogparvo.info (I get invalid subdomain)
At this point I am confused. Do you have any suggestions because I need to sort it out and so far have spent hours trying to find something and you are the closest I have found that seems to be nearly there.
thanks
July 8th, 2008 at 12:39 pm
Hey Laird,
After choosing Setting -> Domain Management it seems that you might have clicked “Add” next to the Sub Domain option under your main domain.
Instead of clicking “Add”, look near the top, there should be two drop down boxes; one labeled “Domain” and one labeled “Domain Hosting Path”. They won’t exist unless you are using the GoDaddy Deluxe plan (or better).
From there you will choose the domain and then enter the path to the folder you want to point the domain to.
You can easily upgrade your existing account to a Deluxe plan if necessary.
July 17th, 2008 at 4:47 pm
Hi Keith,
I recently added another domain name to my deluxe hosting account on godaddy. I’ve read through the whole post and the comments and I’ve attempted to activate the second domain name in the way you explained, but no luck.
The big problem I’m having is I am not able to change the path of my main site to the _sites folder. Every time I try to change it, it just stays on the root folder.
Am I missing something?
July 18th, 2008 at 11:40 pm
Hey Keith — First, you rock for helping these people out.
I’m having the same problem as “kitliz” (up above). I own the hosted domain comparesummersales.com and want to direct the domain name craigandkara.com to comparesummersales.com/craigandkara which is a wordpress blog.
In Godaddy I select the domain name craigandkara.com from the list and enter /craigandkara as the directory path. The result loads the root directory of comparesummersales.com instead. I have tried pointing it to a path other than /craigandkara and it works just fine. Is there something I need to change in wordpress?
July 19th, 2008 at 11:49 am
@Ivan…I don’t think you’d want to change the path of your main site…that should stay as is…in the main folder. Your main domain is attached to the hosting account which is probably why it can’t be changed.
@Craig…I ran into problems when trying to store my site in that way as well. It has something to do with the way WordPress writes permalinks (I believe) and is related to the settings in the .htaccess file (as far as I can tell). When I created a sub folder, such as “_sites”, and then created folders within that, then all of my problems went away…and plus the sites were more organized.
Thanks for coming by guys and thanks for the comments. I apologize that my responses couldn’t be more informative.
July 19th, 2008 at 3:37 pm
thanks Keith, I’ll give it a try
July 21st, 2008 at 2:33 pm
Great information. I couldn’t find this on other sites (even Godaddy). Nice explanation. Thanks for it!
July 24th, 2008 at 9:59 am
I’m having the same problem Craig is having. I have a wordpress blog installed in the root of bockenhauer.com and another wordpress blog installed at bockenhauer.com/thepeas. I had godaddy economy hosting and had another domain (thepeas.com) forwarding to bockenhauer.com/thepeas. I purchased deluxe hosting and removed the domain forwarding and setup the domain thepeas.com with path /thepeas. After that if i would go to thepeas.com it would load bockenhauer.com.
I tried creating the _sites directory and moved /thepeas folder into it. I updated wordpress config to point to bockenhauer.com/_sites/thepeas. But I got the same results.
Any other thoughts?
July 24th, 2008 at 10:02 am
Also – I tested this with another domain i have (aisforandrea.com) which i setup to point to bockenhauer.com/aisforandrea which is just a normal html page and everything worked fine. So it obviously has something to do with a wordpress blog being in the root of the domain bockenhauer.com.
July 24th, 2008 at 10:08 am
Also also (sorry for all the posts). I have removed the aisforandrea page for now, so if you go there it’s a dead page. And like I said I turned off the domain pointing and am back to domain forwarding until i figure this out.
July 24th, 2008 at 1:14 pm
@Pete…When you say that you updated the WordPress config, are you talking about the wp-config file? You shouldn’t have to do anything with that.
And you want to make the path /_sites/thepeas not bockenhauer.com/_sites/thepeas from within the GoDaddy Hosting CP
Unless I’m misunderstanding, after you change that you should be good…
If I can be of further help…I’ll do my best…
July 24th, 2008 at 1:21 pm
@Keith James Lock… Since I had to move the wordpress files from bockenhauer.com/thepeas to bockenhauer.com/_sites/thepeas I had to update the wordpress general settings for wordpress url and blog url since that had changed.
Yes, I did only put in /_sites/thepeas for the godaddy hosting path.
July 24th, 2008 at 1:41 pm
Hey Pete….ok I see what you are saying.. makes sense…
Well…it seems that you have done everything that you were supposed to so I’m at a loss…I assume you waited a few minutes before testing? It takes GoDaddy 2-10 minutes to make it happen…it stays in the pending state for that amount of time…
Other than that I don’t know what to say…short of jumping in there myself.
Best of luck
July 24th, 2008 at 1:42 pm
@Keith James Lock… I think it has something to do with the .htaccess file. If I clear out all the text in the wp-header.php file and just type in like “test” and go to thepeas.com the wp-blog-header.php file works.
Here’s what the bockenhauer.com root .htaccess file is:
————————————————————————-
# BEGIN WordPress
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
# END WordPress
————————————————————————-
Here’s what the bockenhauer.com/thepeas/.htaccess file is:
————————————————————————-
# BEGIN WordPress
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /thepeas/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /thepeas/index.php [L]
# END WordPress
————————————————————————-
Obviously these got changed back when I reverted back. They had _sites/thepeas for the paths before.
Here’s what my bockenhauer.com/thepeas/wp-blog-header.php file looks like:
————————————————————————-
<?php
if (! isset($wp_did_header)):
if ( !file_exists( dirname(__FILE__) . ‘/wp-config.php’) ) {
if (strpos($_SERVER['PHP_SELF'], ‘wp-admin’) !== false) $path = ”;
else $path = ‘wp-admin/’;
require_once( dirname(__FILE__) . ‘/wp-includes/classes.php’);
require_once( dirname(__FILE__) . ‘/wp-includes/functions.php’);
require_once( dirname(__FILE__) . ‘/wp-includes/plugin.php’);
wp_die(“There doesn’t seem to be a
wp-config.phpfile. I need this before we can get started. Need more help? We got it. You can create awp-config.phpfile through a web interface, but this doesn’t work for all server setups. The safest way is to manually create the file.Create a Configuration File“, “WordPress › Error”);}
$wp_did_header = true;
require_once( dirname(__FILE__) . ‘/wp-config.php’);
wp();
require_once(ABSPATH . WPINC . ‘/template-loader.php’);
endif;
?>
————————————————————————-
I tried changing all the paths in wp-blog-header.php to not have the leading slash cause i thought maybe it was looking in the bockenhauer.com root folder and that’s why bockenhauer.com wordpress blog was loading. But that just made thepeas.com load errors about missing files.
July 24th, 2008 at 1:45 pm
@Keith James Lock… Ya, I waited at least 10 minutes. I mean the domain worked but was just pointing to the root domain.
July 24th, 2008 at 2:03 pm
@Pete: The RewriteBase for my inner blogs are just:
RewriteBase /
Check that and see what happens… I think GoDaddy will show the recent changes to the .htaccess on the hour
…or…if you have another domain name, try throwing together a quick install of WordPress…it might just be the moving about of the blog that caused some grief…
Get back to me
July 24th, 2008 at 4:10 pm
@Pete and @Keith james Lock : Good conversation going. I haven’t been able to spend much time on the fix yet, but I’m definitely having the same problem and will try to figure a fix as well. Thanks for the work you guys, I’ll be interested to find a solution together.
July 24th, 2008 at 5:21 pm
@Keith James Lock… Ok, that seems to have worked. I have an older wordpress 1.5.2 blog setup in bockenhauer.com/thepeas/arablog. I set it up to point to aisforandrea.com. I didn’t have permalinks setup and everything worked fine. After i setup permalinks for /%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%/ i can still load the index page but if you try to click on categories or posts, you get an internal server error. A .htaccess file does not exist in bockenhauer.com/thepeas/arablog directory.
I noticed before i set the permalinks the URL bar only showed the domain which is nice but the status bar still shows “waiting on bockenhauer.com”. So my root domain isn’t completely hidden from user view.
Obviously this has to do with permalinks.
July 24th, 2008 at 6:42 pm
Ok. I had a test wordpress 2.5 blog installed still so i tried that and everything works perfectly even with permalinks. Also the status bar doesn’t show bockenhauer.com ever. What is weird is that this wordpress blog directory doesn’t have a .htaccess file either. I remember once i setup the permalinks for the other two blogs the .htaccess file was auto-generated every time.
I am going to test creating a brand new blog in a directory in the root of the domain…
July 24th, 2008 at 6:56 pm
No .htaccess but it has permalinks? That is weird.
July 24th, 2008 at 7:56 pm
I setup a brand new WordPress 2.6 blog in bockenhauer.com/test2 and pointed aisforandrea.com to it. At first it loaded bockenhauer.com but then I changed the blog address URL to http://www.aisforandrea.com in wordpress general settings then everything worked fine. Then I setup day/name permalinks and everything works fine. .htaccess also isn’t located inside this test2 directory either. Not sure what’s going on there.
So I guess that’s where i’m at. I pretty much did the same setup. Maybe my account was messed up with all the turning off domain forwarding and creating the new deluxe account.
I’ll give it another try with my /thepeas directory again and let you know how it goes.
July 24th, 2008 at 9:34 pm
I got it to work! I have bockenhauer.com/thepeas pointed to thepeas.com.
Set the domain thepeas.com to path /thepeas. Changed wordpress general settings for blog address to http://www.thepeas.com.
I also made my .htaccess file within the /thepeas directory to the following:
—————-
# BEGIN WordPress
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
# END WordPress
———————
Which is what I also have for the bockenhauer.com root blog.
So after that I went to thepeas.com and it was trying to load bockenhauer.com/thepeas/thepeas and showed a 404 obviously. So GoDaddy was still reading my old .htaccess file. I waited an hour (apparently GoDaddy reads the .htaccess files every hour after you upload it).
Now everything works with permalinks and all!
July 24th, 2008 at 10:27 pm
@Pete…awesome! glad to hear it :)
July 25th, 2008 at 7:06 am
So what about the economy plan. Can I redirect somehow?
July 25th, 2008 at 11:58 am
@Nikola…
Yeah you can install sites in sub folders than just forward the domain to that folder…
There are 2 options with that…you can have the domain name stay in the address bar and never change regardless of what page they are on or… have it show up as maindomain.com/subfolder and it will change based on where the user clicks.
The first way is the most professional (in my opinion) and is only good for small sites…like PPC landing pages maybe…
Again…just my opinion… personally I would upgrade to deluxe…it’s a much better way to do it.
If you plan to do the domain forwarding, let me know if you have any questions on how to do it
August 13th, 2008 at 3:31 pm
http://www.userbytes.com/_sites/seizethepage
I tried this.
I upgraded to deluxe and my main site is http://www.userbytes.com and I setup a directory called _sites and within that dir is seizethepage so it looks like /_sites/seizethepage.
I moved all my blog there from a previous directory of userbytes.com/digerblog/ and I edited my sql file and reuploaded.
Now when I go to http://www.seizethepage.com it instantly goes to userbytes.com
if you go here http://www.userbytes.com/_sites/seizethepage/ all works
http://www.seizethepage.com/wp-admin works too.
I am not sure what the issue is yet.
I went hosting/manage account/settings/domain management
userbytes.com add Setup Primary
seizethepage.com /_sites/seizethepage add Setup
My htaccess
# BEGIN WordPress
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /_sites/seizethepage/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /_sites/seizethepage/index.php [L]
# END WordPress
Any ideas?
August 13th, 2008 at 3:43 pm
Nevermind …in my haste I failed to do something that I saw in Petes comment
“I setup a brand new WordPress 2.6 blog in bockenhauer.com/test2 and pointed aisforandrea.com to it. At first it loaded bockenhauer.com but then I changed the blog address URL to http://www.aisforandrea.com in wordpress general settings then everything worked fine. Then I setup day/name permalinks and everything works fine.”
I did that too and it now works.

Hi Keith
I have a very small problem but godaddy can’t seem to give me a stright answer. Bascially I have a one site hosted with godaddy on the main control page it shows up as http://www.site.com and says manage on the right handside the account is a Deluxe Hosting – Linux – Monthly.
Now bascially I just want to add a few more domains but just can’t seem to get it working
What i’m doing so far is going into manage – your domains – add domain
I’ve created a folder called _sites and when i add the domain i point it to _sites/manuals247
site is http://www.manauls247.co.uk
Any help would be greatly appreciated
thanks
