How to add a website, an alias and a parked domain

How-to Websites and PHP sitedomainaliasparked domaindocument root

Create a site with its own document root, add alias and parked domain names, and understand where files go and what certificates cover.

Each site is a domain with a document root in the account's home. The first site of an account is served from /home/<client>/public_html; additional ones from /home/<client>/<domain>/public_html, the same convention as CWP and DirectAdmin.

Steps

1. Open Websites and create the site with its domain.
2. Add aliases for extra names that should serve the same site (for example www).
3. Add parked domains for additional names that should show the same content. They are covered by the site's wildcard certificate and never request their own.
4. Create subdomains as sites of their own.
5. Point the domain's DNS at the node, or let the node serve the zone (see wildcard certificates).
6. Upload the files with SFTP, FTP or the file manager into the document root.

From the command line an admin can do the first steps with:

panel cliente-crear acme
panel sitio-crear acme example.com www.example.com

Common problems

• "The plan limit was reached": the plan caps the number of sites, subdomains or parked domains. Delete one or change plan.
• The name is refused: a new site cannot use a name that belongs to another client's domain, zone or subdomain tree, or a name the node reserves for itself.
