Under cPanel > Site Management Tools > Addon Domains Three input fields: New Domain Name: Username/SubDomain Name: Password: Then there's: Setup(/Remove) Redirection ............ So, what can I do with this? Can I basically host a sub-subdomain? Can I change my current subdomain? Thanks for the help.

addon domains will add your own domain(s) into your domain/sub-domain registered here. you can access it both from sub-(domain/sub-domain registered here) and your own domain has been added-on. note! before you add your own domain on there, you have to set the NS1 NS2, and point to trap17.com first.

then.. you can Setup(/Remove) or Redirection. actually each addon domains will have each account/password, and can manage from ftp.

you can host your sub-domain on trap17.com depending on admin -- your-sub-domain.trap17.com
but you cant change it.
you can only change your own sub domain -- your-own-sub-domain.your-sub-domain.trap17.com

yes, i got this problem with addon domains... i got 2 added domains, but one of them is causing troubles, because when i want to install b2evolution into the added domain folder it says i cant, so then i tried to erased the folder by using ftp but i couldnt erased it T_T im thinking of deleting the added domain/ (consequentely the folder too) and then run the b2evolution script and then add the domain from the add-on domain option . . . do you think it will work?

i was wondering would the root directory like /home/iwuvcook be different for the add on domain or another just as if it was hosted on by itself on an account.

or does it share the trap account root directory like /home/iwuvcook/goggle?

I believe the Addon domains are setup as a SUB domain for your account.

If your account is /iwuvcook, and you want to add google.com to your account as an addon domain, it will be /iwuvcook/google.com. Trap17 will KNOW that google.com gets redirected to the directory /iwuvcook/google.com once you add it as an add on. (Actually, I think on Trap17 the directory would be /iwuvcook/google-com)

You could also access the same directory using
google-com.iwuvcook.trap17.com

This is because your addon domain is acutally a sub domain of your main account.

i really want to know how to add on a sub domain to your domain.

For example

webpage.something.com
instead of redirect it to www.something.com/webpage

When you click to a different page ... example.. a mid.html
the address will be

webpage.something.com/mid.html

instead of
www.something.com/webpage/mid.html

like how trap17.com is giving out subdomain.. like mine is blah1234.trap17.com

ehh.. sorry.. .if i didn't explain it very well, it's pretty late here and i want to go to sleep. =P

I am assuming you already have your domain added to your trap17 account.

In cpanel, goto Subdomains under site management tools. Then in the first dropdown you can select your domain that you added. Type in the subdomain name you want for your domain in the box to the left of the drop down.

This will create the subdomain
