How do I change the domain name associated with my hosting plan?

With Aplus.Net, you have the ability to add additional domains to your existing Unix-based shared hosting plan (Personal Unix, Business Class Unix, Pro, eCommerce Unix).

You can host certain number of domain names for free with each Unix-based hosting plan:

• Personal Unix – 1 hosted domain name
• Business Class Unix – 2 hosted domain names
• Pro Unix – 2 hosted domain names
• eCommerce Unix – 3 hosted domain names

You can associate more domains with your Unix-Based hosting plan. Hosting additional domains costs $1.99 / month for each additional domain.

Note: Only one domain name can be hosted with a Windows based hosting plan (Personal Windows, Business Class Windows, Pro Windows, eCommerce Windows).

To remove a domain that you’ve previously hosted on your hosting plan, please contact Customer Support by phone at (888) 301-2516 or via e-mail at support@aplus.net. Please include your registration number, customer password and the domain name that has to be removed.

In order to have your second domain with its own index page, you should choose the parking location to be “/your-domain-name” instead of “/”.

Here’s how to add a second hosted domain with its own parking location:

1. Log into the Aplus.Net Control Panel at http://cp.aplus.net with your registration number and customer password.
2. Select Web Hosting from the top navigation bar.
3. Next, select Hosted Domains and click on Host New Domain.
4. Use the Hosting Plan drop down menu to select the service plan that you want to host the new domain name with.
5. Enter the domain name that you want to host.

Important: Do not type www.domain.com, type the exact name of your domain without any prefixes.

6. Click Create to have the new domain added to your hosting plan.
7. Click the Manage link located on the confirmation page.
8. Click the Change Website Root icon.
9. Change the website root (parking location) of the new hosted domain to “/your-domain-name.com” from “/” using the Parking Location drop down menu.
10. Finally, click the Modify button to confirm the change.

A directory with your domain name will be automatically created into your home directory. You should put all the html files for that domain in a subdirectory "html" within that directory.

EXAMPLE: If you had a domain "foo.org" and followed the steps above, you should put all the html files for this domain in "foo.org/html" directory within your home directory.
