Freedom Fighter · Post by **Freedom Fighter** » Tue May 23, 2006 11:24 pm

Ok imnot quite sure if this is right area for this but feel free to move it if its not.

OK so I have the advanced package from here the free one and I just got a domain name from somoky as well and I was wondering if some one could tell me how to set it up for my site because right now it is freedomfighter.thesmokylounge.com and I have the domain witch is http://www.esharpie.info And I just want to set it up so that freedomfighter.thesmokylounge.com is replaced with

http://www.esharpie.info

Using my cPanelX that is.

As for changing the freedomfighter.thesmokylounge to esharpie.info just set up a redirect.

The info domain you got was just than, you do not get any space with it, you gotta buy the space, or come up with your own space.

i've never have been working with domains, so if you own you own domain i think there is some kind of way to do that is in cpanel. sorry that i'm not able to help you, but i will move you topic to cpanel help and if nothing will happen (noone will answer) simply contact shadmin and refer it to you topic and he will realy (i hope) help you.

by the way, rename your topic to some kind more informative, not like need a ltl help. If you rename it to "need help with domain name setup" or something like that, if user knows about it, so it will know that for you need help about domain setup. It's my advice...

To use your bought domain with your actual supplied domain with smokyhosts you need to park it.

1: log into cpanel (i.e. http://freedomfighter.thesmokylounge.com/cpanel/)
2: **** on parked domains
3: to the right of the text "New Domain Name:" input your domain
(i.e. esharpie.info, without the 'www')
4: **** add domain
5: when you phrase any link always end directories with a forward slash '/'
(i.e. http://www.esharpie.info.com/<dir name>/) or the link may revert to the other link with some scripts.

It won't work unless you bought the domain first.
