Hi.  Back in March, I got back into the VLEXO swing for a bit after not being able to do much with it for quite some time.  The account was alive and well when I last used it back in March.

However, it's suspended right now.  Not sure what I did to earn the suspension, but would like to get the account going again if that's acceptable?

Thanks.

Your website is being unused. You have used 0 bandwidth for at least a month. Your domain is also expired which means you need to change your domain or renew it.

Yes, that is true.  Sorry about that.  Honestly, that could well happen again.  I'm in IT (mostly mainframe stuff) and I go months at a time with little time for the working on this.  Still, I'd like to spend some time on it now and again, if that is okay with you?  I'm trying to learn enough web stuff to eventually move to that sort of programming.

I don't even recall which of my domains I had associated with my plan... do you have an easy way to see that?  (I don't.)

I have some other domains I could associate with this account if that would be okay?

ok. please use the template. (pinned in this forum).

Thanks Eli.

Here's the template info:

Package: Expert 2000
Domain: gajot.com
Username: swoop

Please note: the domain in the above template is owned by me at this time, but it isn't yet associated with my Vlexo account (I'm going to need to learn how to make that association once the account is no longer suspended).

Thank you!

You're unsuspended. I have also changed your domain to "gajot.com". Please edit your interview to reflect the changes.

Thanks Eli.  I realized when I went back to the old interview that I had originally asked for the host space for the 'band' part of the business idea - not the "gadget" part (spelled gajot in my case).  Since I also own 'BandYak.com', I just edited that part of the interview to be BandYak.com.

I'm making this one assumption here before I ask for one more favor:
> If I want to later disassociate BandYak.com, it's something that is "easy" to do - and I may be able to even do it myself.  Is that right?  (At some point, it may make more sense to have the focus of this hosting account be on another part of the stuff I'm working on - but that won't be for quite a while, still.)

Assuming so, could you please do one more update (or tell me how to do it) to associate with BandYak.com instead of Gajot.com?

Sorry for being a pain.

Hmmm. I just found this in the help/wiki:

# Addon Domains - This allows you to point, say, example.com to /public_html/example . In essence, it allows you to host two sites on one server!
cPanel "Addon Domains" Video Tour Available Here


Seems ideal.  

If it's not a TOS breach, I'd like to just go set BandYak.com named servers as needed and then set it up as "the other" website that will be part of my hosting account.

If that's not reasonable, then the prior request to change to BandYak.com is still how I'd like to go if it's not too much trouble.

Thank you.

[Eli L]

I already set it to the other domain. Just make the other domain your main and whatever other ones addons.

[swoop]

I will give that a shot.  Haven't tried that before.  If there are any gotchas in doing that, I'd appreciate some tips.

Thanks.

I contacted Netfirms support to ask for their help since entering Bandyak.com into a browser URL still wasn't taking me to that site...

They responded, but indicated that the didn't really change anything...

Now, it DOES take you to the site, though...

So, I guess it is "magic".

Anyway - I've edited this post to remove the questions I had posed which were asking for more guidance on addon domains...


  Thanks.
