Multiple Domains

[Polo]

I have a plan (gigadeal) and i would like to have different domains in the same server for example:

mydomain.com
mydomainsecondpart.com
mydomainrocks.com

and so on... all of them in the same accoutn and of course with different content...

how can i accomplish this?

[Connie]

If I understand your question, you would need to set up sub-domains for the other accounts.

You'll need three domain names. Then you can set them up in subdomains, contact Tech Support and multihost them here, as Connie said.

Not sure you can accomplish this without special considerations. You have defined different domains and not subdomains. The subdomain plan with everything in the same server directory tree would require the following:
mydomain.com - account setup
secondpart.mydomain.com - subdomain 1
rocks.mydomain.com - subdomain 2

But you have described the use of completely different domains with completely separate DNS registrations with ICANN. I don't know what Jag could do to accomodate the setup that you want.

Well, before I finished posting, Vin chimed in. Check out multihosting with Jag as suggested.

Well, i know what subdomains are, and i dont want that..... what i want is to have different domain names hosted in the same server..... if is not in a shared server what about in a dedicated server?

i want to have multiple sites hosted in the same server...

for example i want to setup a website at

www.domain1.com/index.html

and other (or several others)

at

www.domain2.com/index.html

and so on...

i really dont know if this is possible (but i have heard of people having different websites hosted in a single servers), that is why i'm asking...

i hope someone can help me

sure point the domain to the same location, and ensure all your addresses are relative in the site

Okay, bro, if you understand subdomains, you're halfway there...

You want different domain names, hosted on the same server and, I assume, on the same account. That's called multihosting. What you need to realize is how they do multihosting here.

If you don't mind me quoting myself, maybe this will clear things up...

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.

Does that make more sense?

Let's say you have three domain names, and you want them all hosted on the same server, on the same account. You will have your primary web site setup like normal, in the root. Your other two web sites will be setup in subdomains, e.g. in folders off the root. You say you understand how subdomains work, so I won't go down that road any further.

At this point, all you have to do is contact Tech Support and tell them that you want to host...

• domain2.com -> domain1.com/subdomain1 (subdomain1.domain1.com)
  
  ...and...
  
  domain3.com -> domain1.com/subdomain2 (subdomain2.domain1.com)

When they are done, you will have three different web sites, with three different domain names, on the same server, using the same account. If you have the GigaDeal, you can multihost five web sites in your webspace for 'free.'

Kapeesh?

Kapeesh?

definetly! that was really clear... thanks for your help Vin DSL oh by the way... do they charge to setup domains?

The first five are free. If you want more they're a one-tme $15 to set up.

[Polo]

what about in a dedicated server? how many do you have free? and when do they start charginG?

[jason]

Dedicated servers are yours to do what you want with. Actually, with a ded server you can set up multiple accounts (just like you have along with everyone else on your server), resell them if you wish, whatever. You have full access to the server to do anything (within reason). You need to know how to administer your own server, though. JPC keeps it online, but your reso=ponsible for just about everything else.

[Polo]

can you give me some examples of what is everything else? I been wanting to move to a dedicated server.. but i really have no idea how it works... i been using shared hosting for a while now... my sites have been getting quite popular and i have been thinking on moving to a new server, but the thing is like i said, i have no idea how it works... any feedback would be really appreciated.

[jason]

Jag can explain this better than me, but my understanding is that when you rent a dedicated server they give you a box with memory and a hard drive and the OS of your choice installed (I know they support the Linux and FreeBSD and a few variations thereof). You can get anything else you want installed (like CPanel), but you have to pay for the licenses. You can also pay for managed services ($100/mo) if you want them to handle the maintenance of the server. Otherwise you're on your own as far as OS upgrades, patches, and fixing crashes is concerned.

With a dedicated server you get the ability to create as many accounts as you want. You could set up your own hosting company and sell virtual accounts on the server in the same way that Jag does on their shared servers or you could just host one or two sites like Computer Cops. You get root access, have full control over Apache's conf, what services are running, etc. As long as you aren't doing anything that's against JPC's terms (like spamming, for example) they don't really care what you do with the box.

oh i see... well thanks jason, im starting to understand things alittle better...

and well i was wondering, when you get a ded server do you get this pannel?

[jason]

No, it's not included. If you want it there's an extra charge for the license--something like $35/mo. There are other panels available mostly commercial ones. A couple of free ones are around, but I don't know how good they are.

If you're thinking about going with a ded server you should contact sales and/or Jag to discuss options and weight the costs.
