Website Setup and Management

Core tasks​

  • Add, remove, and organize domains/subdomains.
  • Configure hosting settings (document root, PHP version).
  • Deploy website files through File Manager or FTP.

Add a new domain​

  1. Open Websites & Domains.
  2. Click Add Domain.
  3. Enter domain name.
  4. Choose hosting type.
  5. Save and verify status is Active.

Add subdomain​

  1. Open target parent domain.
  2. Click Add Subdomain.
  3. Set name and document root.
  4. Save.

Change document root safely​

  1. Go to Hosting Settings for domain.
  2. Update Document Root.
  3. Save.
  4. Confirm index page loads from new path.

Deploy with File Manager​

  1. Zip project files locally.
  2. Go to Files > httpdocs.
  3. Upload ZIP.
  4. Extract in place.
  5. Delete ZIP after verify.

Deploy with FTP​

  1. Use FTPS (recommended).
  2. Connect with panel-provided host/user/password.

Common mistakes​

  • Uploading project into nested folder (httpdocs/project) unintentionally.
