Hi Mark,

thanks for the prompt reply. I've had a read of the tutorials but I can't quite find what I'm after... or maybe I'm missing something! I have uploaded some content via ftp, so that is all fine.

I believe I would like to do what you outline in your first paragraph, but I'll be pedantic and explain again - this web mastering is new to me, and I want to confirm that I'm not misleading you with incorrect terminology.

I presume you have access to my account, but if not, my directory structure looks something like what is shown below:


[d]public_html
====index.html (entry point for twostepalgae.net)
====[d]content
========files_for_twostepalgae.net

====[d]snerpton
========index.html (my temporary place holder)
========index.php (future entry point for snerpton.net)
========other_files
========[d]content_dirs
============files_forsnerpton.net

other_files

[d]other_dir


The twostepalgae.net part works fine, as in, I enter http://www.twostepalgae.net into my browser and it goes to my twostepalgae.net place holder public_html/index.html.

What I would like to do, is enter http://www.snerpton.net into my browser and it go to my snerpton.net place holder public_html/snerpton/index.html. I would like to have the following features:

1) twostepalgae.net and snerpton.net to be two separate web website hostings with separate content (although the content for both website hostings will be stored on my twostepalgae.net ukhost space).

2) When a user goes to http://www.snerpton.net/someDir/somePage.html the browser should show http://www.snerpton.net/someDir/somePage.html, rather than http://www.twostepalgae.net/snerpton/someDir/somePage.html.

I believed "addon domains" to be the way to go about this, and whilst setting up the addon domain snerpton.net, the addon cPanel pane created the subdomain snerpton.twostepalgae.net and its associated directory.

Following your advice in paragraph 1 of your reply, I have removed all redirection for snerpton.net from my control panel. When I say this I mean I have checked in the following places:

1) Addon Domain Maintenance: still shows that my current addon domains are snerpton.net, but that there is no redirection (or at least it says snerpton.net is now being redirected to http://).

2) Sub Domain Maintenance: shows that snerpton.twostepalgae.net is currently being redirected to http:// and I have pushed the remove redirection button for this subdomain.

I changed my DNS for snerpton.net yesterday to the eukhost name servers, and so I presume any changes I make to redirection should happen fairly quickly. When I enter http://www.snerpton.net into my browser, it still goes to http://194.154.164.90/?domain=snerpton.net, the place holder 123-reg.co.uk provided.

Without any redirect, how does the ukhost servers know to send any requests for snerpton.net to the appropriate part of my directory structure - I presume I'm still missing something rather obvious! Any help would be again very much appreciated.

Many thanks,

Chris


PS I've just noticed, that if I enter the url http://www.snerpton.net./ (link in your reply) in to my browser, everything works as I would like and expect. The critical thing is the extra "." after ".net". How do I get rid of the extra "."? If I can do that, everything is perfect!
