Create an Addon Domain
Please make sure the name servers are pointed to Jolly Works Hosting name servers as stated in the Welcome Email you received from us during account activation. Please note that they should be changed before adding the domain. If your domain is registered with us (or you got it free from your package), please see this guide on how to change your name servers: http://dcp.jollyworkshosting.com/kb/servlet/KBServlet/faq455.html.
- To add this through your cPanel. Choose the menu option "Add-On Domains"
- New Domain Name: the name of the domain (ex: yourdomain.com)
- Username/directory/subdomain: the FOLDER you wish for the domain to point towards (ex: yourdomain)
- NOTE: simply the name of the folder you want the domain's content to be stored will be sufficient. It can be a folder that already exists or make up a name and it will create the folder for you.
- Password: password for your account (*recommend same as cPanel)
- Be sure to wait a couple of minutes for the page to load after you create them. It takes a few minutes from when you click on add for a confirmation screen to appear.
