shelwriter Posted September 22, 2004 Share Posted September 22, 2004 Hi all! It's me again with lots of questions. I hope I'm not in the wrong forum channel for this question. I have a website already. Love it! And LOVE TCH. I'm thinking of developing another site, semi-related, but I would want it to have it's own domain name - not be a sub of my first one. For example I already have: www.myfirstsite I don't want to have: www.myfirstsite.com/mysecondsite I want: www.mysecondsite Can a redirect do that? OR Do I need to purchase another package from TCH and create a whole new site. Does any of this make sense? Do I need to clarify? Thanks guys!

TCH-Don Posted September 22, 2004 Share Posted September 22, 2004 Yes you need a whole new account for a second site with its own domain. As per the AUP (You may only host one domain per virtual account; resellers are allowed to host unlimited domains.) you may not point or redirect another domain name to a part of your site. To open a second account you might be better off to open a help ticket asking about a second account. I think if you try to sign up again you will get a message that you already have an account here.

shelwriter Posted September 22, 2004 Author Share Posted September 22, 2004 Thanks Don!! Exactly what I needed to know. Uhm, what is a reseller account? I've looked around but don't understand exactly who needs it. Can you explain? Is that something for someone who is selling something?? I'm confused. Thanks!

TCH-Bruce Posted September 22, 2004 Share Posted September 22, 2004 With a reseller account you can have multiple domains. You can resell web space to others but you don't have too. If you are going to have more than 4 domains then a reseller account would be the way to go. You just purchase a domain name and create another folder and package in your reseller account to add it.

shelwriter Posted September 22, 2004 Author Share Posted September 22, 2004 Aha !!! Bless you Bruce!! I may be going this route then... although not quite yet. I'm assuming I can upgrade as I need to. I'll probably just purchase another silver account for now. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Makes sense to me now.

TCH-Bruce Posted September 22, 2004 Share Posted September 22, 2004 Shelle, you can upgrade anytime you like. When you do you open a ticket with the support desk with your intentions and they will move everything over into a reseller account for you.

shelwriter Posted November 3, 2004 Author Share Posted November 3, 2004 Okay Bruce, or anyone else.... I'm ready to start buying new domain names and creating new websites. I'm still just a tad bit confused. Do I have to get a reseller account to have multiple domain names? Or, can I go with something else like a Gold account? Or, do I absolutely have to go with a reseller account? I know I'll have to open a help ticket to do it.... I'm just trying to save $$. As usual... LOL Help? Thanks!

TCH-Bruce Posted November 3, 2004 Share Posted November 3, 2004 (edited) Shelle, You would need a reseller account to create additional sites. You can only point addtional domains to the same place as your original domain on regular hosting accounts. One entry point per shared hosting accounts.

TCH-Thomas Posted November 3, 2004 Share Posted November 3, 2004 Or you can purchase separate regular hosting accounts for each one. But reseller is easier to manage. Just remember that setting up several domains in a regular account is a no no as Bruce say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shelwriter Posted November 3, 2004 Author Share Posted November 3, 2004 Okay got it! :-) Bless you guys!! I'm sorry I had to ask, but you know.... the $$ issue thing kept cropping up. I'll go and put in a help ticket today or tomorrow. YAY!! I love TCH! shel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DWD Posted November 4, 2004 Share Posted November 4, 2004 So, is this prohibited action the same thing as "Addon Domains" discussed in the cpanel documentation but for which there is no icon in cpanel? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCH-Don Posted November 4, 2004 Share Posted November 4, 2004 For normal accounts the addon domain is disabled in cpanel, you need a reseller acount to use addon domains. For normal accounts you may not have a second domain point to file, folder or subdomain. You can have the techs park a second domain on top of your main domain so it will resolve to your main domain.
