Addon Domains

An addon domain simply refers to the possibility of you having more than one domain associated with your account in UMW Domains. The control panel interface allows you to have an unlimited number of domains that can all be managed separately. For example you might decide to have one domain specifically for a course you are running, you could install Wordpress, and set it up as a course site. Meanwhile you could have a second domain that is some variation of your name that is used a personal portfolio or blog. The same options that exist for Subdomains are available for regular domains, you can host it locally or choose to forward the domain to another address.

To add a domain to your account go to the Websites and Domains tab and scroll to the bottom. You will find a button to add a new domain, at which time you can choose a folder on the server to store the files associated with the domain. By default the folder is usually named Site1, Site2, etc. We recommend you rename the folder to some variation of the domain so that if you ever have to use the File Manager or FTP to add or remove files you'll know which folder corresponds with which domain.
