It sounds like you're having trouble with both parking a domain and adding an addon domain. These are common issues when managing web hosting. Let’s tackle them one by one.
Parking a domain usually means you're setting it up to redirect to another site or simply holding it without an active website. Here’s a general guide on how to park a domain:
Log in to Your Hosting Account:
Access your hosting control panel (like cPanel, Plesk, etc.).
Find Domain Management:
Look for a section like "Domains," "Domain Management," or "Domain Parking."
Add the Domain:
Enter the domain name you want to park.
If there's an option to choose which domain you want to park it under, select that.
Set Up DNS Records:
Ensure that the DNS records for the parked domain are pointing to your hosting account’s nameservers if needed.
Save Changes:
Save or apply the changes. It might take some time for DNS propagation.
An addon domain allows you to host additional domains on the same hosting account. Here’s how you can usually add an addon domain:
Log in to Your Hosting Account:
Access your hosting control panel (like cPanel, Plesk, etc.).
Navigate to Addon Domains:
Look for a section like "Addon Domains" under the "Domains" category.
Enter Domain Details:
Provide the domain name you want to add.
You may need to specify a directory where the site’s files will be stored. This directory will be created automatically in most cases.
Set Up DNS Records:
Make sure the DNS records for the addon domain point to your hosting account’s nameservers.
Create Email Accounts (if needed):
You might need to set up email accounts for the new domain separately.
Save Changes:
Apply or save the changes.
DNS Propagation: Changes can take up to 24-48 hours to propagate across the internet.
Domain Configuration: Make sure your domain is properly registered and not expired.
Permissions: Check if you have the necessary permissions or account limits that might be causing issues.
If you’re still having trouble, you might want to reach out to your hosting provider’s support team for specific guidance tailored to their system.
