ok I have hosting with hostgator and they use Cpanel.....now I registered a new domain and changed over the nameservers but how do I manage that in Cpanel? Thanks for the help
You'll have to contact the hosting company. New domains have to be setup by them or through Webhost Manager.
1. If you changed your DNS settings at your registrar to the name servers provided by Hostgator it should just work. 2. If you are trying to add an additionl domain to your account you see an icon in cpanel that looks like the attachment. Use it to add additional sites.
I tried to do the same thing and you go to addon domains and then in subdomain you will find it according to the video walkthru they have. Be careful though, I asked advice through the live help and my original domain got wiped and my backup was corrupt so my whole forum got wiped!
