Hosting an additional web site with DiscountASP - what's the best way to go about it?

Hi,

I currently have a hosting account with DiscountASP.NET (http://markashleybell.com/) and so far have been really pleased with your service.

I'm hoping to move another web site to your servers in the New Year, and I was wondering what the easiest way to do this would be - do I just sign up for a completely new DiscountASP account, or is there a way of adding the new site to my existing account, so that everything is managed in one place?

Please let me know what my options are.

Thanks,
Mark B

 

You would be able to add additional domains to your hosting account in the Domain Pointers section of your Control Panel. You'll be able to click on the Order Domain Pointer tab [https://my.discountasp.net/addons/dompointer.aspx] which will allow you to add the domains. You can read more about Domain Pointers in our KB here:

http://support.discountasp.net/KB/a131/domain-pointer-manager.aspx

If you wanted to point the domain pointers to a subdirectory, you could do this by redirecting the domain to a subdirectory, which can be done through code as explained in our KB article here:

http://support.discountasp.net/KB/a369/how-to-redirect-a-subdomain-to-a-subdirectory.aspx

We generally recommend keeping each domain on it's own hosting account, as the Domain Pointer is basically pointing to the root of the hosting account and this cannot be changed. Also, the Domain Pointer only has Email Aliases enabled, and you can only use email on the main domain of the hosting account.

Please let us know if you have any questions.
