what does "Add-on Domains " mean ?

can i host a site for someone else ?

like i can give him a specific amount of mb and bandwidth ?

or does it mean something else ?

Thank's

sam

in addition to the domain that your account points to now, you can in fact add another domain. depneding on your hosting plan there is a small charge per domain name or no charge.

yes. you want a reseller plan then. it makes hosting others very easy.

or her, right?

add on means what i said above. reselling you resell your space.

thanks for choosing surpass.

I believe unless you're a reseller you cannot actually allot bandwidth, etc. You would need WHM to do such a thing.

On the standard plans I believe all add-ons and subs do the same thing - point to a subdomain off the main account.

If you're not worried that your friend would hose your bandwidth, why not just add a CMS like Xoops, Mamboserver, phpNuke or even one of the CMS addons for phpBB or Invision board? That would in effect give him a webby, albeit without strict bandwidth allotment. You could give him a FTP account and access to that subdomain only. Then he could register/transfer his domain name to someone like Godaddy (excellent control panel) who offers FREE domain pointing/masking, making his subdomain appear as a genuine domain.

One thing though, I don't think he'd be able to use security certificates directly if that was an issue.

Also, unless you give him your signon, he won't have access to CPanel.

Come to think of it, with a subdomain having ftp, he could upload whatever he wanted (html, etc.) although personally I'd think the fullfeatured CMS approach would be the most useful.

Etan is correct.

You CAN add-on domains. But you cannot 'restrict' use of bandwidth or storage automatically. Only ONE Cpanel will be allocated.

this is why i dont get the addon domain :ktoe:

because if it s only make a forward or just point 2 a subdomain

we can do it in surpassnot only by using godaddy, when u manage a domain name u can forward it 2 another site

so why 2 pay on a addon domain this is why i m lost :angry7:


exept if i missunderstood the meaning of addon domains again :lol3:


anyway ....

Thank's :surpass: :surpass: :surpass: :surpass:

an addon domain makes subdomain.yoursite.com apper as thesubdomainsownsite.com

Godaddy uses a redirect, which, if I'm not mistaken causes the REAL URL to show up...

So even if you have 'mysite.com' on godaddy pointing to 'myfirstweb.com/mysite', when users type in 'mysite.com' they're going to ultimately see 'myfirstweb.com/mysite'...

Anyway, the Addon domain makes things clean, because it's an actual domain record ON THE HOST SERVER.

in godaddy they have frame options wich allow 2 only see the fake url


in addon domain let say surpass.com is the real site and fake.com is the fake

if surpass make an addon domain 2 fake so when we enter 2 fake.com

the real url is : fake.surpass.com :1openarms


now if he navigate thrue the site

does the link change 2 : www.fake.com/folder or it will stay static ?
