My host is l4rge.com the cPanel has different things under the domain name section: subdomains, redericts, addon domains, parked domains. Which should i use to set the domain name from godaddy with my site?

P.S: Please read my question thoroughly before answering, this is the second time I've had to ask this because people on yahoo answers give me answers for a different question..

  2. Hi Luke

    Okay, let me get this right - you've bought a domain name through godaddy and you want to add it to you hosting account at l4rge.com?

    There are a couple of things you need to do:

    1) Log into your cpanel account at l4rge.com

    2) Select Addon Domains

    3) New Domain Name - Enter the new domain name here

    4) Subdomain/ftp username - enter the ftp username to access the new domain

    5) Document root - give the name of a folder that will be created inside your home directory and will contain your new domain's files

    6) Password - choose a password for ftp

    7) Repeat Password

    8) Hit Add Domain!

    Your domain will now be setup on your hosting account but you still need to do some work at godaddy.

    1) Log into your godaddy account

    2) In the menu select Domains > My Domains

    3) In the list of domains that are presented, tick the box of the domain you are setting up

    4) Click on the Nameservers icon

    5) In the Nameserver screen, select Custom Nameservers

    6) In Nameserver 1 enter:

           ns1.l4rge.com

    7) In Nameserver 2 enter:

           ns2.l4rge.com

    8) Hit OK

    You have now done everything that you need to do to setup the domain correctly, but it may take up to 48 hours for this to take effect because once you make the changes on godaddy, it can take a long time for the changes to be distributed out onto the internet (this is called propogation)

    If you have any problem, then give me an IM or drop me a message

  3. http://www.goldpuma.com is parented with godaddy. It sells the same products at lower costs. Hope this helps before doing purchase!

  4. This is not an option in cpanel.

    You need to find out the DNS of your host (l4rge), it is usually starts with something like ns111.  In godaddy, you should have the option to change dns, plug in the numbers from the host.  If there is no option to change it, you should be able to e-mail godaddy support who will change it for you.
