Hosting Preview DNS
Filed under: General, Web Hosting, Website DesignOur Web Site Hosting Preview DNS lets you test your Web site prior to launch to ensure it displays and behaves properly on our hosting servers before modifying your domain’s DNS record. This is beneficial when you are setting up a Web site for a domain that is currently active, either in your account or with another hosting provider.
To Preview Your Web Site
- Log in to your Account Manager.
- In the My Products section, select Hosting.
- Next to the appropriate hosting account, click Manage Account.
- In the Account Summary panel, click View to display your primary domain’s DNS information.
- If Preview DNS is enabled, click Preview my site.
Note: Before your DNS settings are modified to point to our hosting servers, you must upload content using your hosting account IP address and not your domain name. You can find the IP address of your hosting account in the Hosting Control Center’s summary page. Once your domain’s DNS settings have been modified, you should upload content using your domain name, as your account’s IP address may change.

Domain Name Management
Filed under: General, Web Hosting, Domain NamesHere are some of the Domain Name Management options you will find in your Hosting Control panel once logged in.
Multiple Domains
You can point multiple domain names to your hosting content by adding them to your hosting account. In addition, each domain can support subdomains of its own. NOTE: If you remove a domain from your account, its subdomains are also removed.
Adding a Domain
To add a domain to your hosting account, select it from the Domain drop-down list or type a domain name that is not available in the list. In the Domain Hosting Path drop-down list, specify where the content for domain resides. This can be any content directory on your hosting site. There is no limit to the number of subdirectories that you can use, but the path cannot be longer than 70 characters. Click Add Domain.
Subdomains
A subdomain is an easy way to create a memorable Web address for various parts of your site. For example, a subdomain “pics” added to the domain “coolexample.com” results in the following URL: “http://pics.coolexample.com”. Subdomains can point to any content directory on your hosting site.
Adding a Subdomain
To add a subdomain to a domain in your hosting account, click Add Sub Domain next to the appropriate domain. This can be any of the multiple domains in your hosting account. In the Sub Domain text box, enter the subdomain name. In the Path drop-down list, specify the content directory to which the subdomain should point. There is no limit to the number of subdirectories that you can use, but the path cannot be longer than 70 characters. Click Save.
