Hi Guys,
I`m not really stuck but just want to make sure i`m not missing something here..

I`ve already set up 2 WP blogs and am just starting my third now, Bought a domain name from godaddy changed the nameservers to my hostgator account but now my minds gone blank do i now have to wait for hostgator to send me a mail with my Cpanel password ??

Do i get a different cpanel password for each domain i send to hostgator ?

Pls help as its been about 34 hours since i sent the domian to hostgator and i`m just wondering if i`m missing something here will hostgator send me a conformation email or not ??

Cheers Jim

    No, same password for all. You only have 1 cpanel account where you can host multiple domains.

    Even if you do it like this it will work.

    www.maindomain.com/cpanel Log in and work on all of your sites / domains

    www.NEWdomain.com/cpanel Same deal.

    I usually just log on with my main domain and work on everything within a cpanel account.

    Once you've changed the nameserver's, go to your cPanel and click on "Addon Domains" and add your domain though it.

    Next time you go to fantastico or file manager, it will have a drop down menu with your newly added domain. You can install WP or whatever you wish to install.

    Jim - you do not need another Hostgator password for each domain. Logon to your Hostgator cpanel with your current password. Then click the 'Add on Domain' icon to add your new domain to your hosting account. After that, return to the cpanel and click the 'Fantastico De Luxe' icon to install Wordpress onto the new domain.

    What sort of hosting plan do you have with Hostgator? I have reseller accounts
    with Hostgator and I have a username and password for the Webhost Manager and
    then inside of that I can set up each of my domains where I create a new account
    and choose the username and password for each domain.

    I have not used other account setups with Hostgator but I imagine it is much the
    same as the reseller account, as in you would need your username and password for
    your Hostgator account to get in and set up each of your domains.

    I don't know if this has been all that helpful to you. Someone else may chime in
    here and offer more info for you.

      In Hostgator, for normal accounts (non-reseller accounts), Web Host Manager (WHM) is not available and therefore there's only one set user name and password regardless of the number of domains (actually one domain and multiple add-on domains).
