Hello all,
I have recentlty paid for the
copper plan with
eukhost.com, and now have some hosting space and a domain name. I would like to host a second domain on my
eukspace.com space that I have purchased elsewhere.
The domain I own and is hosted on
eukhost.com is
www.twostepalgae.net, and the domain I own but want to point to space on
eukhost.com is
www.snerpton.net.
What I Would Like To Do
I would like to host
www.snerpton.net on some space on
eukhost www.twostepalgae.net, and would like this to be transparent to the user.
The Plan
I believe I need to do the following:
1) Change the name servers of
snerpton.net, such that new ones are the servers of
eukhost.com.
2) Create an add-on domain for
snerpton.net on
eukhost twostepalgae.net, which creates the subdomain
snerpton.twostepalgae.net
3) Create an alias for
snerpton.net on
eukhost. to point to
snerpton.twostepalgae.net
What I Have Done
I have done 1), as can be verified at
dnsstuff.com. The output for
snerpton.net:
Domain servers in listed order:
NS6.EUKHOST.NET 64.38.20.134
NS7.EUKHOST.NET 64.38.21.42
so I believe I have successfully changed the name servers.
I believe I have also done 2). In cPanel I added an add-on domain and the "add-on domain" pane now shows "Current Addon Domains snerpton.net (snerpton) [redirect]". On the same pane it says "snerpton.net is now being redirected to http://www.twostepalgae.net/snerpton//" This seems to have had the effect of creating a subdomain called snerpton.twostepalgae.net. This is supported by when I go to the address
snerpton.twostepalgae.net, it redirects me to
twostepalgae.net/snerpton.
The Problem
When I go to
www.snerpton.net, I just get the place holder of the company that I registered the domain with (
123-reg.co.uk). I believe I now need to create an alias for
snerpton.net on
eukhost.
The Questions
1) Is this the correct method to host a second domain?
2) If so, how do I go about creating an alias?
I'm rather new to all this
web hosting etc. so any help would be very much appreciated.
Many thanks,
Chris Ashton
PS I realize it takes up 48 hours for these changes to proliferate. However I made these changes about 24 hours ago and dnsstuff.com has recognized the changes I have made, so I presume I'm not falling foul of this.
