I seem to be stalled with regard to publishing other content for secondary domains on this hosted account.
I don't have a
GoDaddy account so can not speak directly to them...
Wanda does and maybe she can give you direct info.
A subdirectory and subdomain are not the same. Similar but not the same.
A
subdomain is also known as a "third-level" domain, and is a great way to create memorable web addresses for various areas of your site. Example:
http:// subdomain . domain . com
subdomain=3rd level, domain=2nd level, com=1st level
Technically, a subdomain is a subdirectory inside your main website- you would create and publish the same way!
The visitors could reach the area using either method:
Preferred:
http://catalog.assortedstuff.com or
Like a subdirectory:
http://assortedstuff.com/catalog But a subdirectory is not treated the same as a subdomain. It can only be reached by this method.
http://assortedstuff.com/catalog.
To make your subdirectory a subdomain, you must identify it in your control panel, or with tech support help. Creating a subdirectory does NOT automatically create a subdomain. My forum is in a subdomain (can be reached by forum.... or /forum but took an extra step to define the subdomain! All other subdirectories on samisite are just subdirectories not subdomains.
General speaking, if you want to use multiple DOMAIN names to point to different areas of your storage area with most hosts, including TCH, you have to use a reseller account. You can not have a DOMAIN name point to a subdomain or subdirectory. Example: If you build a site for bakery.com and you want to store it in your area, it must be a reseller account so you can point the domain name bakery.com to your storage area and still host your assorteddtuff.com, etc.
Most hosts will allow you to PARK your second domain onto the main directory only.
Ex: if you want to have a furniture.com domain as your master, then a lamps.com to point to subdomain lamps.furniture.com, that is not allowed. You could park lamps.com to point to the same directory as furniture.com.
Check with GoDaddy support to find out if domains can be parked/pointed to subdomains or not. It may be a function of the TYPE of account you have or available/blocked for all accounts. Each host is different.
