Second domain name with baby shared hosting plan? Where should I buy a second domain?

Reekun · #1 01-23-2008, 09:52 PM

So my hosted website is vitachoconutriment.com and I want to add another domain. I've looked at the settings and would the cPanel say both vitachoconutriment.com and my new website???

And where would be a good place to buy another domain name?

I got my first one from websitepalace for about 20 bucks a year

enom.com, godaddy.com or whomever you like. HostGator might do stand alone name registration too, I don't know. Just set the nameservers to the correct ones for your account and add the new domain as an add-on domain. The new site is then listed in add-on domains and the files for it go in the directory that cPanel creates when you add the add-on.

http://hostgator.com/domains is where you go to register them at HostGator.

I'm going to register with www.netfirms.com

But when I buy a domain name what's the process to transfer it to hostgator??

because I like hostgator's hosting not netfirms but I want to register at netfirms

You don't want to transfer it to hostgator. You'll just want to change the nameservers to your hostgator nameservers from the netfirms interface.

Oh I see just transfer the nameservers that's doable :-]

It's less confusing to say "change the nameservers", as Matt did.

Ok i changed both nameservers of my godaddy site but now the site changed from being parked to being empty

Does this mean my change to hostgator was a success?

How do I add it as a new addon domain when I try to add it it says

" Error from park wrapper: Sorry, you are not allowed to add any more than (0) addon domains! The domain below was not setup! "

I'm going to contact support@hostgator.com
