6 domains pointed to same plan?

felguard · January 2nd, 2007, 6:16 PM

Okay, so I have the power shared hosting plan. I already have a domain pointed to it right now.

The thing is, I've bought 5 more domains. My site has 5 domains for a blog, gallery, topsites, directory, and forums. So I want to add these 5 domains and point it to the sub-domain.

My question is do I use a redirect, or do I use the add-on domain for this? And for setting up the domain, do I point them all to the same IP address?

Thank you.

Dude.
If they're going to be 'free standing' independent domains, just use ADDON.

No redirect necessary.

Oh okay thanks. Sorry, I haven't worked with domains much.

Redirect should almost NEVER be used.

Addon is a "DNS" magic trick. Instead of pointing to the root, it points to a "folder" in public_html, similar to a subdomain.

Oh I see, that makes perfect sense. Time to add on the domains.
