How To Add Another Domain to the Hostgator Account?

I have received few questions on this, so I thought it would be a good post to make. So how to add another domain to the Hostgator account (assuming you have a baby package!)

You first have to forward your domain to the Hostgator account. (Hostgator, should have given you the server info when you signed up!)  You do this in where your domain is located such as godaddy.com.

Second, click on the tab Addon Domains, in your C. Panel! Input the new domain, it should automatically create sub directory[this will be the folder for your files] (Hostgator will register this as a subdomain, but don’t worry about that!) And create a password for this domain.

To create a new Build a Niche Store, you will have to create a new database (follow the Build a Niche Store Manual on this one!) You will be inputing your files into the new folder (what ever the name of your new domain is.)

P.S. to check stats on your Hostgator account, you will always have to go to subdomain stats.

I hope this helps explain how to add another domain to the Hostgator account.

    Can we manage the additional domain name by using the same FTP account? Do we need using diffect FTP account to access the add on domain name account?

    Thank you.
