If you just created that domain with the domain registrar, then it probably has not propogated across the internet yet. For me, vampireswill.com does not resolve to anything yet.

It does appear that you have set the name servers correctly with the domain registar otherwise the add-on process in cPanel would have failed and it did not.

Basically, both your and my ISP's DNS servers do not know what IP address vampireswill.com is yet. Give it some time. It can take up to 72 hours for a newly created domain to be propogated everywhere.

u mean to like change the nameservers of vampireswill.com with the ones the subdomain has?

this its so confusing :'(

stephye

^o^ what do you mean by that? ^

First question: is vampireswill.com registered with a domain registrar such as GoDaddy, Network Solutions, Surpass Domains, etc?

Yes.. you have buy/register the domain with some domain register before it will work. Once vampireswill.com has been created at the domain register, then you will need to make it's name servers match the ones for your main domain here.

Easiest thing would probably be to buy/register the domain with whoever your main domain is registered with so that you can use the same account to manage both of them.

sub-domains do not require registration with a domain registrar, which is why that part works.

I have 2 domains, I want to get 1 hosting from surpasshosting (previous hosting nuked my site, support took 4 days to reply and no backups of the databases which they promised when I signed up, which upset me. Anyway, long story...) is that possible?

Also, does add-on domain have it's own DNS, that way it will not expose one domain to anothers content? How exactly does that work?

Both my domains at the moment use separate shared hosting from another provider with their own MySQL databases, will I be able to do that with surpass hosting using one package?

I really want to jump on this as soon as possible. So, any help would be great.

With a shared plan you will have one cPanel account.

Say you have main domain1.com and domain2.com as an addon

When you add an addon domain there isn't really a way to tie domain2 back to domain1.

You go to www.domain2.com just like you would any other domain, but you can also go to domain2.domain1.com that would be the only way to tie the two domains together.

You can also set up seperate databases for each domain. They will both have the same prefix for the database name but you can name the second part anything you want, like the following:

username_domain1db
username_domain2db

That's perfectly fine.

If you want two sperate cPanels for each domain you will need a reseller plan

Wow!! That was such a quick reply, I'm highly impressed, in my old hosting it took days for support staff to even answer a simple question!

Another question, if I have a domain with another company, and I want it to transfer over to surpasshosting, what is the protocol to avoid any snags?
