ok i have registered a domain name at name.com... i have a hosting package with hostgator... i want to add my domain to my hosting package with hostgator... how do i do that? also whats the difference between domain parking.. and addon domains? thanks!
Change the name server provided by hostgator. c. How do I change my name servers? 1. Log into your Name.com account. 2. At the "Hello" page, click on the domain name. 3. On the "Manage domain name" screen, click "Edit Name Servers." 4. "Remove" the old servers, and "Add" the new. That's it! In roughly 24 hours, your name server propagation will complete. An Addon Domain is similar to a subdomain and created in much the same way. An Addon Domain has its own file path, location, and file set that can be used to store a web site, images, documents or anything you want. It is almost like having your own web space for a different domain, but is attached to your main user account. This allows for easier management of the Addon Domain by being integrating and available from your main user account's management system. Parked Domains are really domain pointers that allow you to "point" or "park" domain names to your existing hosting account. For example, your main web site is DomainA.com, but you also have DomainB.com. cPanel allows you to "point" or "park" DomainB.com to your main domain or web hosting account at DomainA.com.
