unique WP Blog issue ? help please

4 replies
Hi

I have registered my domains using namecheap whereas have a hosting account with hostmonster.

Though I have updated the nameserver so that these domains point to hostmonster nameservers - the thing I dont understand is how should I install a WP blog on this domain ?

because I have a control panel in hostmonster but the domains (rightly) dont show up and though I have the domain listed in namecheap I (rightly again) dont have the cpanel as I am not hosting with them ...

Would appreciate any help on this ...

Cheers!

    I think the solution is to look in the hostmonster cpanel and see if you've got an option named "domain addons" or something similar. For each domain in your namecheap account you have to make an addon domain in your hostmonster one.

    Hope this helps

    You click on Add On Domains in the cpanel and add the domains. Once added, they will show up in your account. You can then install Wordpress on them or upload a site to them.

    What the Above People Have Just Said

    1. You Buy Domain
    2. Change NameServer's at Domain Registra
    3. Go to Your Hosting Account, Within Cpanel Select Addon Domain
    4. Once Youv'e Added Domain, Either Use an ftp Client to Transfer WordPress to YOur Website OR Just Use Fantastico
    Fantastico is Located Within your Cpanel.
    using Fantastico you can Automaticaly Install Wordpress.

    If You Need More Further Help, Youtube is a Good place, to Look for Guide's ect. on how to do all this also.

      Hi Mrsparrow, Suzanne, Chameleon,

      Thanks a lot for your responses and help offered. Based on your comments I exactly understand what needs to be done, infact I followed it for one domain and the process will complete in a few minutes ... hurray !

      This has been something that I have been trying to nail down and connect (namecheap and hostmonster) since more than a few days now ...

      It sometimes is a matter of guidance :-) .. thanks folks once again .. much appreciated

      Cheers!
