Manage
Domain Names
The
first step in setting up your Hosting account server, is to ensure
that you have "added" any all all Domain Names that you
are Hosting on this account.
- Log
onto your Control Manager
- Choose
DOMAIN MANAGER from the navigation menu on the left.
- Click
on MANAGE DOMAIN NAMES
- For
every Domain Name you are hosting, you must add the Domain Name
using the ADD DOMAIN NAME(s) dialog box.
- Domain
Name: <type in the Domain Name>
- You
then have the ability to choose from one of the three options
below. In most cases, if you intend for the Domain Name you
are adding to have it's own website, then you would choose
the middle option "MAKE NEW DIRECTORY", by
selecting the radio button beside that choice. If this Domain
Name is used to launch an existing website, or a file on the
home directory, then you would choose either of the two other
features.
- Click
ADD DOMAIN NAME
- You
will then see this newly added Domain in the dialog box above,
titled CURRENT DOMAIN NAME(s) SETUP. You will notice that
each Domain is showing the path to WEBSITE, as well the
the path to SCRIPTS.
VIEW
WEBSITE BEFORE CHANGING DNS
Once
you have added your required Domain Names to the Hosting account,
and you have uploaded your website data to the appropriate directories,
you may want to view the website. In the CURRENT DOMAIN NAME(s)
SETUP dialog box, you will see a TEST link beside each
Domain Name. Simply click on the TEST link to the right of
the Domain you want to test. Allow 1 hour to activate this feature.
Once you have viewed your website, and are happy with the results,
you may now feel confident about modifying your DNS to NS1.866GetHost.com
and NS2.866GetHost.com.
**Be
sure you have setup all your email prior to modifying DNS**
