help with add on domain - Hostmonster, Cpanel

[ebizsolutions]

Hi everyone,

I'm fairly new to this and basically learning things on the fly.

I just added an add on domain to my main domain in my hosting account (Hostmonster) and don't know how to access the add on domain through my cpanel.

I'd like to upload Wordpress to the add on domain but when I login to my cpanel, only the main domain shows up.

Can anyone explain how to do this?

Thanks

If you have build addon domain,sub diretory will be added in the main directory that is public_html,you need to Upload WordPress to the directory,it will be ok.

If you allowed cPanel to fully create the addon domain there should be a directory with the same name in your public_html directory. Example: addondomain.com

A lot of new users confuse parking, subdomains and addon domains so you may not have actually set up a second domain properly.

Also sometimes the addon will fail if you do not have the nameservers pointed to the hosting account before you try to create the addon. Most hosts turn this off but some don't.

The recent versions of cPanel do allow addon domain folders to be located outside the public_html folder, so we can't be 100% sure of its location.

Also sometimes the addon will fail if you do not have the nameservers pointed to the hosting account before you try to create the addon.

Valid point, didn't think of that.

I suppose if you are new to this stuff you can always rely on the help from your web hosting company

You need create sub domain name first and then add the nameservers and only then you will be able upload

Cpanel - Addon domains - Create an Add-on Domain - put domain - confirm or edit domain name file folder - set password - click Add domain

You have to wait up to 72 hours for dns chnages.

Upload your files to selected forlder. Run installation if you use CMS.

Happyend

best way is to click addon domains in cpanel and look for the location of folder of addon domain name. then using ftp upload file to that directory and run the installation by going to the http://addon-domain.com and proceed as instructed in setup file.

I assume yopu can hope for the help from your web hosting provider not from the members on the forums. If they are good host you should have the problem solved within the minutes

For addon domain facility you need to check out that the host will provide addon domain or not. then login to your account then go to addon domain service and enter your domain name one it is done it need 24- 48 hours to be active as dns propagation .
for uploading file go to file manger and in public_html you find the folder with the of the domain you have resister ,upload you r file in this directory and the site is up.....

Don't you think that problem was solved? Check the date of the first post. I'm not sure but I think that thread has already found the solution for the problem
