Just wondering if this is possible?? I think that I have screwed up my settings. I have two sites within my DA.

I have site1.com which has a dedicate IP/SSL and is a live site.

I have mainsite.com which is not live but will be the selling site for my webhosting.

The problem: I have setup site1.com under the main admin user because I discovered AFTER I setup the SSL cert that I can't have more than one SSL per user. So... I deleted mainsite.com out of the main admin account and created a reseller account.

I guess DA doesn't like this setup because my urls are acting up. my hostname is named s1.mainsite.com, and my url for the site is www.mainsite.com. Unfortunately, if I type in www.mainsite.com, it gives the message "Apache is working correctly" but if I type in the dedicate IP address, it goes to the site www.mainsite.com. I setup a temp ssl cert, and if I go to https://www.mainsite.com it also goes to the correct site. If I type in s1.mainsite.com (which is my hostname), I get an error 404.

So... My question is, is this okay to keep as is, or should I/can I transfer site1.com to a new user and then transfer mainsite.com into my main admin account again?

When I look at mainsite, www.mainsite.com, they both point to the same place.

When I try https protocol, they don't work at all.

Which leads me to believe you didn't give us your real sitename. How can you expect us to help you if we can't test?

sorry... I didn't list the real sites only because I didn't want the message indexed by the search engines. The site is theverveacademy [dot] com

However, it must have been a DNS propagation issue though because it is working correctly now.

the way to keep a site from being indexed is with a robots.txt file.

Someone else please; my expertise isn't in site coding, and I'd have to take the time to look it up ... but I bet there are lots of forum members who just know it ;).

Thanks.
