setting up a domain

[simpledistractions.]

Hello,

I've registered a domain with a registrar site I've used before so I know they're legitimate (daily.co.uk).
The domain I have registered is http://simpledistractions.co.uk.
However, I just can't make sense of the whole "parked domains, add-on domains etc" system employed by the control panel.
Anyway you could explain to me how to sort it so that simpledistractions.co.uk links to the index.html and simpledistractions.co.uk/bio.html links to bio.html etc? Better yet (if it's simple enough), could you do it for me? I get the impression it's not as simple as saying "This is the domain, make it work" though.

Thanks in advance for your support,

Josh Yaxley

The support staff will probably resolve your issue faster if you helped yourself a bit.

There are some pretty good tutorials on these forums:

• Some background reading for which method you want to use (so based on what you've said, the addon domain should be what you're after):

• A guide to setting up the nameservers with your domain provider, which you'll have to do with daily.co.uk. Note that this is an co.cc example, but it should be fairly similar for daily.co.uk, and ignore the rest about parked domains (unless you want it).

The rest of the setup is then done via cPanel -> Addon domain (which you can watch the Video Tutorial to show you how to setup). However, there is a little note that says:

Hint: This feature must be enabled for your account before you can use it. Addon Domains will not be functional unless the domain name is registered with a valid registrar and configured to point to our DNS servers.

So chances are you need to request this be activated for you.

Good luck!
