HostGator subdomains -- Quick question
Now I'm stuck on a little problem with my HostGator subdomains.
Here's the deal. *** NOTE: The URLs that I've listed below are not mine. I was trying to think of easy, generic example URLs to use as I explained this, and then (techie-tard that I am) I discovered after I posted this that they turned blue and linked to somewhere. So just ignore the sites they go to. ***
Let's say I've got my main URL set up as www.mainurl.com.
Now I've gone into NameCheap to fix my DNS and for several other URLs that I've purchased. I've got additionaldomain.com, yetanotherdomain.com, etc.
When I check on what I set up when I was playing around in HostGator, here's how these domains appear.
SUBDOMAIN ROOT DOMAIN
additionaldomain .mainurl.com
yetanotherdomain .mainurl.com
So did I screw this up? Does this mean I won't be able to set up WordPress for www.additionaldomain.com and www.yetanotherdomain.com to be on their own? They would each, instead, be:
additionaldomain.mainurl.com
yetanotherdomain.mainurl.com
I tried to delete each of these in the Subdomain page so I could start over with a clean slate, and I got this message:
"There was a problem removing the subdomain additionaldomain.mainurl.com
Sorry, the subdomain additionaldomain cannot be removed because it is linked to the addon domain additionaldomain.com. You must first remove the addon domain."
OK. So I went to the Add-On Domain page and deleted additionaldomain.com.
Then I went back to the Subdomain page to check, and (voila!) additionaldomain.mainurl.com is gone.
Maybe I'm just not understand the difference between subdomains and additional domains.
I was thinking a SUBDOMAIN would be if I wanted to have mainurl.com and then add another page to it, and an ADD-ON DOMAIN would be to have a totally separate URL and site sitting there on my same HostGator account.
Thought I'd better seek advice before I go wiping everything else out so I can start fresh and walk through these videos.
