Hello,
To give a background:
Domain A is the primary domain which points to my webserver, was set up by my host, and works ok. I access it through ftp, or through the File Manager under domains>domaina.com
Domain B is an old domain (still fully valid), that i want to use to point at my server, either just to display exactly the same as Domain A (aka have both domains act as if they were identical sites), or to display a different site, hosted on the same server.
Domain C is another old domain, which i want to do the same with.
Now, under cPanel with previous hosts, I would use add-on domains, or parked domains (can't remember which off the top of my head). How do I do this under DA is basically my question?
I see a 'domains' option, which has domaina.com, but I am not allowed to create additional domains.
I also see a 'DNS management' option which is the A/CNAME/MX records etc. I have a vague understanding of DNS records (enough to redirect my mail to google apps for instance) but am struggling to find what to do. I tried creating an A record for Domain B, and pointed it at the same IP as Domain A was pointing at (again, Domain A was listed as an 'A' DNS record). However, after allowing for propagation, trying to visit domainb.com gives:
Does anyone know how I would do this using the DNS records, and/or whether I will have to ask my host to add another domain onto my package?
Thank you for your time, and I hope I have included enough information to allow you to help me.
