Different site in the same host

[victoradrian1]

Hello,

In the offer said that I can have 6 different domain names and my hosting. I'd like to ask if those different domains goes to different site in the same host. I'll appreciate any information.

You have your main account (my-site-r0x.com) and five add-on domains (my-site-r00lz.com, gr8st-site-evar.com, etc.). Your main site defaults to your public_html/ directory, and add-on domains go to public_html/mysiter0x/, public_html/mysiter00lz/, public_html/gr8stsiteevar/, etc.

Does that answer your question?

How the additional domains work is it attaches them to sub domains. Now to start the first thing you do is get a second domain name and point it to Bluehost’s name servers which are ns1.bluehost.com and ns2.bluehost.com. If you don’t know how to register domain names and/or don’t know how to set name servers your best bet is to buy the domain through Bluehost which is $10 per domain and the domain will already be set to Bluehost’s name servers and Bluehosts customer service will be able to assist you with your domain. To register a domain through Bluehost go to your cPanel and click on “Register a Domain” and follow the steps until complete and you own the domain. Next go back to your cPanel and click on Addon Domains. Fill the fields:

New Domain Name: www.
New subdirectory: /public_html/
Password:

------------------

Now the first field is where you typed in the new domain you just registered. Example: newdomain.com

-
2nd field: Fill in what folder inside your main directory you want the site to point to (if the folder doesn’t exist it will create it)

-
Last field is what password you want for the FTP account it will automatically setup for the account. (Your main FTP account will also access this folder so you don’t have to use this account)

********EXAMPLE:
New Domain Name: www. [newdomain.com]
New subdirectory: /public_html/ [newdomain]
Password: [mypassword8387]

--------------------

Now what it does is create a subdomain (newdomain.originaldomain.com) and point it to the folder inside your main directory you defined (Example: /www/newdomain). Next it will attach newdomain.com to newdomain.originaldomain.com (it will create the subdomain itself) so that newdomain.com will work the same as newdomain.originaldomain.com. So the folder "newdomain" will now act as your main directory for newdomain.com.

Hope this works for you.
