Yup, as long as you own it! What you want to do is go into your domain hosting providers website. Log into your account there and try to find out where to edit your account settings.
You want to find something like "Name Servers" and you will find two or more text boxes on the screen. You want to change them to "ns1.trap17.com" and "ns2.trap17.com". You will start at step six! And rather than me explain the rest just read this post from rvalkass: QUOTE 1. Go to the domain registrar's website and log in to the domain control panel. 2. Find the section related to nameservers. 3. Change the nameservers to: ns1.trap17.com and ns2.trap17.com 4. Log out of the domain control panel. 5. Wait for a while. This could be anything from a few seconds to a few hours. Just keep trying the next few steps until it works. 6. Log in to your Trap17 cPanel. 7. Under Domains click Addon Domains. 8. In the New Domain Name: box type binaland.com 9. In the Subdomain/FTP Username: enter the FTP username you want them to have (it gets created for you). 10. In the Document Root home: box enter /public_html/binaland 11. Give the FTP account a secure password. 12. Hit the Add Domain! button. Hope this helps. I think a sticky of how to do this should be made in the members section if there isn't one already. |

Thank you very much for your help.
But I don't understand why binaland.com???: "8. In the New Domain Name: box type binaland.com" Doesn't I write instead binaland.com: mydomane.info??? |

Yes, put your own domain name in instead of the one used there. As Damen said, he copied that from another topic, so the domain name used is obviously going to be different.
What you need to change: QUOTE 8. In the New Domain Name: box type binaland.com BECOMES 8. In the New Domain Name: box type mydomain.info QUOTE 10. In the Document Root home: box enter /public_html/binaland BECOMES 10. In the Document Root home: box enter /public_html/mydomain |
