allright, I added it as an addon domain and told the registrar to use the surpass name servers that were given to me in the welcome email I recieved. There's one minor issue that I've run into however.
When you hover over the links at the top (automatically generated by the CMS which is MODx) the link displayed is
http://pro-poor-et.org/~myusername/d...e/documentname.
The link works when I remove the /~myusername/directory_name but why are the links being generated like this? I don't think it has much to do with the CMS I'm using and I was wondering if there was another reason
