  • Hosting Type: If you are designing a new website, you will want to select the first option as seen above. If, however, you simply want this domain to forward to another, you would select the second option. If you only want the domain available for E-Mail addresses, you would select the third option.
  • Document root: This is the folder where you will build your new website. In this example, we have simply named it "test-domain". We do recommend you name your folder specific to each domain.
It is highly recommended you create a separate rooted directory for each domain, as opposed to pointing your domain to a subdirectory.


  • Once you've entered the correct information for your new domain, simply click "OK." You will see the following text indicating your new domain has been created successfully!
