Changing Your Secondary Domain Name's Root Folder

If you have either a Deluxe, Premium, Unlimited, or Ultimate hosting account, you can add secondary domain names to your hosting account. Secondary domains have websites that work independently of the primary domain's hosted in separate folders. For more information, see What type of hosting account do I have?

At any time, you can change which folder your secondary domain names use for the root of their websites.

To Change Your Secondary Domain Name's Root Folder

  1. Log in to your Account Manager.
  2. Click Web Hosting.

Click one of the following, based on the type of hosting you have. You can tell this by the second word in your hosting's description beneath your hosting account's domain name, e.g. Deluxe Web correlates to Web/Classic (Hosting Control Panel).

Web/Classic (Hosting Control Panel)

  1. Next to the hosting account you want to use, click Launch.
  2. From the More menu, select Hosted Domains.
  3. Select the domain you want to use, and then click Edit.
  4. In the Folder field, enter the name of the folder you want to use preceded by /; for example, /blog.
  5. Click OK.

Linux (cPanel)

  1. Next to the hosting account you want to use, click Launch.
  2. Click Addon Domains.
  3. In the Addon Domains section, next to the domain you want to change, click the pencil.
  4. Enter a new document root, starting at your home directory, and then click Change.

Windows (Plesk)

  1. Next to the hosting account you want to use, click Launch.
  2. Click the domain you want to change.
  3. In the Document root field, enter the new directory you want to use for the domain name's root.
  4. Click OK.

The secondary domain name now displays the index file you uploaded to that folder. For more information, see What file displays when someone browses to my domain name?
