Hi. I've the Godaddy's deluxe plan wich allows "unlimited external domains" and "multiple websites". I have 3 domains registered at dynadot, I already host one in godaddy but I don't know how to add more domains to that hosting plan but I know I can... I had to choose one domain when registering and I can't see anywhere where to add more. Shouldn't I install the first domain at the root directory? Sorry about my english, I hope you can help me.
There is a way to do it. I have closed my GD hosting account so I can not look up the exact steps for you. You add them from your hosting control panel and the system will create the new folder for you. That is where all the files for the new go. Here I found a link for you http://help.godaddy.com/article/46
The search feature on their help section is not the best. If you need to search again select the Linux category and keep trying different search terms until you get a hit. I had to do that and I think in was "adding domains" that got the hit.
...and in that cenario (several domains in one host account), what should be the best option: install the main domain in the root directory or , once I'll have more than one domain, install the main domain in a folder called, for example, "domain1"? thanks in advance
With GD I don't think you have a choice. The main (first) domain goes in the public root and evevrything else goes in it's own folder. CPanel works about the same way.
try with cpanel if you have than add-on domain... but first change the dns name to godaddy dns name in your domain control panel
Besides that: I have a main domain. example.com, in wich I've installed wordpress. What I want is creat an independent website at example.com/one, other at example.com/two... and so on... Should I've to make several wordpress installations? All I need is a different templates in each (let's call) site... and independent statistics too! How can I do that? Other question, I know I can use one database supporting several websites; is there a performance limitation? One thing interesting in the cenario I want is the possibilitie of upload a plugin and it becomes avaiable to all |sites or directories or wordpress installations| (I don't know how to call it). Can somebody help me please in this issues? Thanks again
To keep everything simple, I suggest you install multiple installs of WP and use a different DB for each. Makes backups and moving the sites much simpler. Unless you pay extra for the enhanced stats, I think you will be very disappointed with the stats you can retrieve form GD hosting. Lack of decent stats was one of the major reasons why I left them. If you want a plugin in my that one, just upload it to each when you need it.
thanks for your opinion. any more opinions from other users? I ask because I heard that's possible.... thanks in advance
