The "Domains" section in StackCP is your central hub for managing the domain names connected to your Online Audience hosting account. This includes your primary domain, any subdomains you create, and potentially addon domains (if your hosting plan allows).
To access the domain management tools, look for the "Domains" section in the main navigation menu or on the StackCP dashboard and click on it.
Within the "Domains" section, you will typically see a list of all the domains currently associated with your hosting account. For your primary domain, you might see options to manage its basic settings.
To create a subdomain (e.g., blog.yourdomain.co.uk), look for an option like "Create a New Domain" or specifically "Subdomains." Clicking on this will usually prompt you to enter the desired subdomain name (e.g., blog) and select the parent domain from a dropdown list. You will also need to specify the document root for the subdomain, which is the directory where the files for that subdomain will be stored. Once you've entered the details, click "Create" or "Add Subdomain."
If your hosting plan with Online Audience allows addon domains (the ability to host multiple separate websites under different domain names within the same hosting account), you will find an option like "Addon Domains" or "Create a New Domain." Here, you will need to enter the new domain name you want to add, specify its document root (a separate directory for its files), and potentially create an associated FTP account.
The "Domains" section might also allow you to manage DNS (Domain Name System) records for your domains through a tool like the "Zone Editor" or "DNS Zone Editor." DNS records control how your domain name translates to IP addresses and other services. You can add, edit, or delete records like A records (pointing to IP addresses), CNAME records (creating aliases), MX records (for email), and TXT records (for various verifications). Exercise caution when editing DNS records, as incorrect settings can make your website or email inaccessible. If you're unsure, consult Online Audience's support.
You might also find options related to redirects, allowing you to automatically send visitors from one URL to another, and potentially tools for managing parked domains or domain aliases.
