multihosting domains

[`elemnt]

is it automatic, is there an option in the control panel to create a new domain handler and point it at a subdomain?

how do the subdomains work - are they just folders within the main site, or virual folders behind the level of the www accessed files?

if that makes any sence-

Hi,

Please check the following link:

and open a ticket.
Subdomains are folders within the www folder.

The process is much the same, however, creating a multihosted account here requires an additional step of contacting Tech Support to finalize the multihosted account.

On JagPC, the multihosted accounts are sitting on subdomains, i.e. if your main domain is domain1.com, and you need to multihost domain2.com, you will need to create a subdomain "domain2" in cPanel. Then, you will have to create a ticket and tell Tech Support that your new domain will be multihosted on the subdomain, e.g. domain2.com -> domain2.domain1.com.

Regular subdomains can be setup, by yourself, through cPanel, and usually 'kick-in' immediately. And, yes, they are actually folders off your root, i.e.

• http://www.domain1.com/subdomain1
• http://subdomain1.domain1.com

...become the same.

and I wish they would just eliminate that extra step,

Thank you!

Anticipating `elemnt's next question[s], there are some advantages and disadvantages to this form of multihosting.

You cannot have seperate mail accounts for the multihosted accounts. Mail for the multihosted accounts will be delivered to your domain1 'catchall' account. However, there ARE ways to trick the system using filters, and so forth.

And, obviously, you cannot put subdomains inside subdomains. If you NEED subdomains inside your multihosted accounts, this is going to be a problem for you.

If you own/manage LOTS of domains and you NEED seperate mail accounts and subdomains for these accounts, the best way to do this is to sign-up for a resellers account. Of course, this is going to be more expensive and complex, because each domain account will have to purchased seperately (from yourself) and will have their own cPanel, et cetera.

Another way would be to simply purchase additional accounts from JagPC. What's what most ppl do.

IMHO, you are better off going the multihosted route, if at all possible. That's the best of all possible worlds and the best value.

its too expensive, im only a student

and the no subdomains within a subdomain - makes sence but thats a tad dissapointing

you said there where advantages and dissadvantages to that kind of multihosting, is it me, or did you miss the advantages part

LoL! Yes it's you...

[`elemnt]

Well, you've seen both sides of Vin now.

Much as we might all wish there were, there really is no such thing as a free lunch. The Gigadeal package is about the best that you will find for multihosting a domain. You can even get some subdomains in the deal with some reasonable sacrifice. What you can't do is purchase one account and get "x" more without paying more. Hey, guy, student or not that is life.

Subdomains are exactly that, Sub not Separate. From your comments it almost sounds like you are trying to buy one account and then resell a bunch of it, it that true?

actually All of that is possible with in Cpanel if the Features were enabled

My guess is they don't want to. Jag already offers more than you will find elsewhere. At some point they have to have limits.
