This cannot be done through the control panel. Your primary domain will always point to the public_html directory. However, you can use an htaccess trick to use files from the home_site directory. Simply see the next post.

On a side note, domains you add through cPanel can point to public_html/home_site/.

This can be done using mod rewrite, Add these lines to your .htaccess file.

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^/$ /web/

.htaccess is a hidden file. If you are using FTP, make sure that you have the option to see hidden files and folders on.
It should be in /home/bubynoa/public_html/
