With
Aplus.Net, you have the ability to add additional domains to your
existing shared hosting plan.
Aplus.Net
currently offers different packages for Unix-based and
Windows-based shared hosting. Each package allows for a certain
number of domain names to be hosted for free. This includes both
domains registered with Aplus.Net and domains registered through
another registrar.
If
you need to exceed the given number of domains associated with
your plan, you may add more, but hosting additional domains
requires a monthly fee for each additional domain. Please check
the Aplus.Net Website for
current details and pricing. You can add as many domains as you
would like, as long as you stay within the size of the original
web hosting plan.
The
domain name that you’d like to associate with your existing
hosting plan has to be registered and pointed to Aplus.Net’s
Name Servers:
Primary:
ns1.abac.com
Secondary:
ns2.abac.com
In
order to have your second domain with its own index page, you
should choose the parking location to be /yourdomain.com
instead of /.
Here’s
how to add a second hosted domain with its own parking location:
Log
into the Aplus.Net Control Panel at http://cp.aplus.net
with
your Registration
number and
Customer
password.
Select
Web
Hosting from
the top navigation bar.
Next,
select Hosted
Domains and
click on Host
New Domain.
Use
the Hosting
Plan drop
down menu to select the service plan that you want to host the
new domain name with.
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.
Click
Create
to
have the new domain added to your hosting plan.
Click
the Manage
link
located on the confirmation page.
Click
the Change
Website Root icon.
Change
the website root (parking location) of the new hosted domain
to /yourdomain.com
from /
using
the Parking
Location drop-down
menu.
Finally,
click the Modify
button
to confirm the change.
Note:
Please allow up to 24 hours for the new domain name to be
associated with your hosting plan.
A
directory with the exact name of your domain will be automatically
created into your home directory.
For
Unix-based hosting plans, you should put all the web files for
that domain in a subdirectory "html"
within that directory. Example:
If you have a domain "foo.org" and follow the steps
above, you should put all the web files for this domain in
"/foo.org/html" directory.
For
Windows-based hosting plans, you should put all the web files for
that domain in a subdirectory "WWWROOT"
within that directory. Example: If you have a domain "foo.org"
and follow the steps above, you should put all the web files for
this domain in "/foo.org/WWWROOT" directory.
