Hi,

I am about to really screw I think I have serveral domain names thru godaddy. I set up my ezAWB with my godaddy name (plumbcheap.com) and hosted on hostgator account. What I want to do is  turn off the plumbcheap.com name and  switch my corvetteauction.info name to my hostgator account. I only have one host account and will park the plumbcheap.com name.
Is there a great deal of crap in doing this??   Basically I just want to change my site name to corvetteauctions.info


Thanks,
Chris

Hi Chris,

You need to do that through host gator.

Point your new domain to host gator, then contact them to change it in your hosting account.

thanks, I just sent in a request ticket maybe I should call for quicker responce LOL
I thought I just had to simply park the old name and point the new name to my nameservers?
Just wished I didnt have to deal with customer sevice LOL  makes my headache

Host Gator is pretty good about support.

Why don't you get an unlimited domain hosting account?

It would be faster to just add a new domain name into your HG account

I have the cheapest account not sure how much an upgrade would be. I called all they did was had me fill out some form online so its automated. Charged me 5 bucks though LOL . If its not to expensive I will get unlimited account.

Jorge,

I just upgraded my hosting with hostgatoe to the baby account which has unlimited domains. My question now is, will my new domain have to have my primary domain name in the URL IE wwwplumbcheap.com/corvetteauction.info?  I  am hoping no and do I just install into my public_html or upload a new public html folder  I want the two sites to have deffirent key/content .

Im getting there slowly but surely LOL Sorry for asking alot of questions

Ihad the same thing going on before I switched to a reseller account with hostgator.   The short answer is no as long as you add it right.  HostGator has some good FAQ's on how to do it.  It will look like it in the control panel but you will be able to type in www.corvetteauctions.info and it will come up.  Look for the faq on subdomain vs add on domain and it should explain it.

wow what great help cool job Chris! 
Was the 2.5 easy to ftp to the add-on domain?

Never tried.  I updated to a reseller account where each domain has its own cpanel....Still wondering how smart that was.  Easier to administer, but less bandwith and disk storage.

The main reason I switched is at some point I may sell some of my domains with hosting to make some extra cash so that is the easiest and best setup i have found.

Thank You for that info I will read that when  I get off work today.  I  pointed the name sevrers last night  and this morning it seems to still be propagating or parked. have alook at corvetteauction.info and see if thats what you think ? I hope thats going on.

thanks for al the help.

Chris,

The other Chris is correct ; it will seem that way in the cPanel but you can just type in your regular domain name and access it that way too.

Good job other Chris. Thank you!

Jorge

Yes, Thanks to all of you guys I got it working.
Can I  use the same affiliate ID's for ebay,google adsense, and amazon for both sites?

Im ready to make some  cash  hopefully. I hear of people claing to make 500.00 a month we shall see LOL


Chris

Yes, you can use the same affiliate ids for their respective programs.

Just keep at it and you shall succeed

Congrats.
