Instant Domain Name Aliases
An instant domain alias is an additional web address that gives access to
your website when you don't have a real domain name or when your real domain
name is temporarily unavailable. Instant domain aliases are generated
randomly based on your provider's domain name and can't be changed. To enable or
disable access to your website by instant domain alias:
-
Select Quick Access in Account menu.
-
Click the Web Options icon to go to your web options page.
-
Select the domain if you have more than one.
-
Click Edit next to Web Service.
-
At the bottom of the Web Service page that appears,
enable or disable Instant access domain alias.
Creating Sub domains
A sub domain is a lower level domain. It is added on the left
of the domain name, e.g. subdomain.example.com.
You can create as many
sub domains as allowed by the plan. Domains and sub domains
have equal functional capabilities, including web site management,
e-mail service, FTP, dedicated IP's, etc., but sub domains do not have their
own DNS zones and usually cost less.
To create a sub domain, go through the following steps:
-
Select Domain Info link in Domain Settings menu in user's Control Panel.
-
Click Add in the Sub Domains field. You
will be asked to enter the sub domain name:
-
Enter the new sub domain It will be displayed in the Sub domain
field of the Domain Settings page.
Shared and Dedicated IP Web Hosting for Domain Names
This is also called Virtual Hosting (Shared IP) and
IP Based Hosting (Dedicated IP).
-
Shared IP hosting - one IP address is assigned to several domains
and access to a domain is available only by its domain name;
-
Dedicated IP hosting - one IP address is assigned to one domain.
To access a domain you can use either its IP address or its domain name.
|
Advantages |
Disadvantages |
Shared IP |
- can be used for virtually unlimited number of virtual hosts;
- easy to configure and use;
- requires no additional hardware of software;
- can be used for free.
|
- does not support Virtual FTP;
- does not support SSL protection.
|
Dedicated IP |
- supports Virtual FTP
- supports SSL
|
|
Switching from Dedicated IP to Shared IP will delete your
virtual FTP and SSL services.
To change the type of IP, do the following:
-
Select Domain Info in the Domain Settings menu.
-
If you have several domains, choose the one to enable virtual FTP for.
-
Click Change to Shared IP in the IP Address field:
-
If prompted, confirm the change by clicking "Yes, I agree with the above".
IMPORTANT: After you switch between shared and dedicated
IP's, it will take several hours before the domain becomes
available at the new IP address.
Domains on dedicated IP's don't have instant access aliases.
You can use an IP-only server. To create it, choose "no
domain" during signup. Following the signup, you
should change IP to Dedicated.
Domain Name Aliases
Domain aliases, or domain stacking, is creating
domain names that point to other domains.
For example, if your domain name is example.com, you
can register another domain name, e.g. example.net
and have it point to the location of example.com. This
means, every Internet user who goes to example.net
will land in example.com.
A domain alias may have:
-
its own DNS zone;
-
custom DNS records;
-
separate mail service.
To create a new domain alias, do the following:
-
Register the alias, exactly as you register domain names.
-
Select Domain Info link in Domain Settings menu.
-
Click the Add icon in the Domain Aliases
field at the bottom of the page.
-
Confirm by clicking "Yes, I agree with the additional charges".
-
Enter the domain alias. This must be a fully qualified
domain name, e.g. example.com:
-
leave the Configure DNS box unchecked if the domain alias
is registered on a different DNS server. In this case, DNS
for this domain alias will not be maintained and mail service
will be inaccessible for this domain alias.
-
check the Configure DNS box if you want a DNS record
for this domain alias to be created on this hosting server.
In this case you'll be able to create and edit custom DNS records
for this domain alias, and Mail Service will
be available.
Web Hosting Server Aliases
Server aliases are additional names for your virtual host.
Unlike domain aliases, they are not added to your DNS zone, and
are registered only with apache. For instance, if your virtual
host name is example.com and you also would like it to
be available at www.example.com, you should add www
server alias to the example.com domain.
To add a server alias, do the following:
-
Select Quick Access in Account menu.
-
Click the Web Options icon to go to your
web options page.
-
Click the Edit icon next to the domain you need.
-
Scroll down to the Server alias field and click the
Add icon.
-
Enter server alias. It will be added to the list of server
aliases for this virtual host name.
