Main domain like an addon-domain

[Wayne Sallee]

I am a customer now, awaiting full access to the forums.

I will have several addon-domains on my account, and I want to set up the main domain to be in it's own folder like the addon-domains.

What would be the best way to do this?

Sign up using a different domain, and add your domains as addon domains

There is no way to change your primary domains dcoument root

There's a better way to do it than that. A few people did this on my previous host. It keeps things a lot neeter, and beter .htaccess controle.

I think it might have to be done by the web host. I don't remember for sure.

Was your old webhost using cPanel?

I did not have my web site set up this way, but would like to this time.

I'm not sure if it will affect your add on domains, but it is possible to have your document root changed to a subfolder. Ask support if they could do something like that for you

I know you can do it by editing httpd.conf, but that would make his subdomains and addon domains go to /public_html/primary/addon wouldnt it?

It should give you a choice where to put them in cp11 X3 but not sure if you change the doc root if other folders in the public_html could be used for addons. I haven't tried so can't say for sure.

Thanks for the responces.

I've also sent an e-mail to support, asking how this can be done.

I got a responce from support, and they are going to modify the document root for the primary domain.

Everything seems to be working fine. At the other host, I had it the normal way, but I decided that I'd like it this way this time.

So far I like it better this way.
It's better organized.
