Domain Management
This document covers the following topics:
 
General Information on Your Domain
To change/view any settings connected with your domain name, select the Domain Settings menu:

If you have more than one domain name, you will get the list of your domains to choose from. Otherwise, the first window to open would be the Edit Domain page:

where:
Creating Sub Domains
A subdomain is a lower level domain. You can create as many subdomains as allowed by the plan. Domains and subdomains have equal functional capabilities, including web site management, e-mail service, FTP, etc., but subdomains do not have their own DNS zones.
To create or add a subdomain to your domain, go through the following steps:
Step 1. In the main domain settings, switch to the dedicated IP.
Step 2. Click the OFF button in the FTP field to create a Virtual FTP host. In the window that appears, enter parameters to this Virtual FTP host.
Step 3.
  1. Click the Add icon in the Sub Domains field. You will be asked to enter the subdomain name:
  2. Enter the name of the new subdomain (you will see it on the left of your main domain name). For example, if your domain name is mydomain.com , entering mysubdomain will make your full subdomain name look like mysubdomain.mydomain.com . Newly created subdomain will be displayed in the Subdomain entry on Domain Settings page.
Step 4.
  1. Go to the FTP Virtual Host page. Click the Add icon in the Virtual FTP Users field.
  2. Create a new user for this subdomain.
Step 5.
  1. Click the Add icon in the Virtual FTP Directories field.
  2. In the Directory field of the page that appears, enter full subdomain name ending with a slash (e.g. subdomain.domain.com /).
  3. On the same page, set appropriate permissions to this directory and add authorized users, if appropriate.
To create another subdomain, just go through steps 3 to 5 again.


Switching between Virtual Hosting (Shared IP) and IP Based Hosting (Dedicated IP)
The system offers 2 kinds of IP:
  1. Shared IP - one IP address is assigned to several domains and access to a domain is available only by its domain name;
  2. Dedicated IP - one IP address is assigned to one domain. To access a domain you can use either its IP address or its domain name.
Shared IP is used by more than one virtual hosts. This approach is known as name-based Virtual Host Support, as opposed to the traditional IP-based Virtual Host approach. The traditional approach is hard to implement on some machines, so Shared IP is used to avoid assigning a dedicated IP address to every virtual host.
The benefits of using the new name-based virtual host support are:
The main disadvantage is that the client must support this part of the protocol. Also, which is critical for Control Panel, shared IP does not allow to create FTP Virtual Hosts.
Dedicated IP is a paid service. You need a Dedicated IP to create Virtual FTP. This service uses SSL on your web server. Switching back from Dedicated IP to Shared IP will remove any of your FTP and SSL resources.
By default every domain has a Shared IP. Shared IP is free. You can change the type of IP at any time as you work with the system. To change the type of the IP, click the Change to Shared/Dedicated IP link in the Edit Domain page.
You can use IP-only server. To create it, choose "no domain" item during signup. Following the signup, you should change type of IP to Dedicated.


Changing HTTP Traffic
Every user plan has a default traffic limit. If you exceed it, you will have to pay charges per each extra gigabyte of traffic.


Per-gigabyte charges are usually higher, so it is wise to set your transfer limit to the level you are expecting to have. To change your plans default, click on the limit value. In the window that appears, enter the HTTP monthly traffic that you think you will run up. The traffic that goes beyond this limit will be charged at a higher rate. HTTP traffic is calculated separately from FTP traffic, but works quite similarly.


Setting Domain Alias/Domain Stacking


A stack domain is a server alias in terms of apache. A stack domain may have:
In other words, a stack domain is a domain alias (i.e. your domain's alternate name) that points to a 'primary' domain. For example, if your domain name is company.com , you can register another domain name, e.g. company.net and have it point to the location of company.com . This means, every Internet user who goes to company.net will land in company.com .

A user plan can be configured to allow or disallow stack domains. Also, there can be a limit to the number of stack domains you can create.

To create a new domain alias, click the Add icon. The following window will appear:



Enter the name for a new domain alias (this must be a fully qualified domain name, e.g. company.com ).

"Pinging" Internet Hosts From Your Hosting Server

This net troubleshooting tool allows you to ping any Internet host from your hosting server (in other words, to test if a host can be reached and how long it takes)
