Hostgator help

I hope this is in the right place, and it's probably an easy question but I could do with some help.

I bought two domains at godaddy and a baby package with hostgator, which said I could host more than one domain.

How do I add the second domain to my new hosting? I can't see where to do it.

 

very simple
just login to your cpanel
and than go to addon domains
add your domain details there
set the directory for domain
ftp details and submit
thatsit
enjoy

 

in the cpanel, go to Addon domains.

 

Thanks both of you. I gues I just couldn't find it last night.

 

It took me a while to understand the process the first time I did an add-on domain. Since then I have 12 of them and I'm very happy

 

That's it via the cpanel and to look for addon domain. I have done it and it is easy.

 

How good is hostgators service?

 

I upgraded straight away to aluminium when I first started with Hostgator.

The massive advantage is that every domain gets its own cpanel, this makes all your sites independent.

Regarding a review, I have never had a problem with HG, and been with them for 3 years plus.

aluminium?
are you using reseller account or what?
how can you create separate cpanel for every domain in shared hosting?

 

Thanks for asking this. It was interesting to learn as well.

 

Yes, it took me a little persistence and online help to get aquainted with the protocols for adding domains, but as with everything else, it's easy when you know how.

Just a quickie FYI, I have an umbrella domain name and just add subdomains for my niches thus; mydomain.com/subdomain, but it depend upon one's marketing/business aims.

BTW, since response from Hostgator site can tend to be a little lethargic (sometimes), I'll ask the forum; is there a quick & easy way to change one's "registered" domain name with Hostgator.
