I have more than one domain, how do I separate them so that each points at a different portion of my webspace (i.e. create multiple sites)?


If you have more than one domain in your package then if you do not setup an alternative home directory for the domains than they will all be pointing at the same root directory, if you wish to create different directories for each of your domains then you must set the home directory of each domain to point at a different directory.

For example, if you have the domains mydomain.com and yourdomain.com , if left as they are both will point at the root directory and if any of the two domains are accessed then both will show the same pages.

To separate the two then for each domain you must create a directory within your webspace, one for each domain.

Once the directories have been created, set the home directory for each domain to each of those directories you created.

Please note that this does not work on the Starters, Instant Domain or Domain mail Plus packages!

For a guide as to how to set home directories please read the following article: "How do I point my domain to my webspace?"
