    I don't know this is right section or not.
    If it is not right section sorry for this.

    I have bought the hostgator shared baby plan where I can host multiple domains.And I have added only one domain for hosting.
    Now I want to add more domains for hosting.
    Can any one tell me how I can add other domains for hosting?
    I am not able to find the way to add another domain.
    Please help me.

    Its easy
    Once the domain is purchased you can follow these instructions to add it on in Cpanel:

    1. Before you add an addon domain, Please make sure the “Name servers” for the addon domain is already pointing at you primary name servers and is propagated. Cpanel will not allow you to add the domain name unless the domain name is pointing to your server.
    2. Click Addon domains
    3. In the box to the right of “New Domain Name:” input the domain name for which you would like to add to your account. Please do not input “http://” or “www”
    4. In the box to the right of “User name/directory/sub domain Name:” provide a name for a folder which will be placed inside of your public_html directory. What you place in the box will create a folder for you to upload your website files to for the addon domain.
    5. In the box to the right of “Password:” Please provide a password for which you will use to FTP to the folder which is created for the addon domain.
    6. Click Add Domain

    You domain is now successfully added. If you open up a browser and type the new domain name in the address bar you will see a skeleton of your new domain. You can upload the website files to the folder which was created in the public_html of the primary domain or you may connect via FTP directly to that folder.
