How to install 2 Wordpress sites on one server, and use your space for multiple domain names, cleanly. (Between 1and1.com and ipage). Where you have the domain name registered with 1and1.com and web hosting with ipage.
Steps:
- Go to the control panel, under Domain, click on "Domain Central". Click "Add Existing Domain". Type in the domain that you own through 1and1.com and click "Add".
- In a matter of seconds, iPage creates a folder within your public_html directory that’s on your server and writes a script that points that domain to your new domain’s folder.
- This may or may not be needed before the next step....FTP to your site using FireFTP a Firefox Add-on, or any other FTP client
- Create a new subfolder in your root directory for your wordpress files to be placed into
- Advanced: Instead of creating the folders in the Home Directory, select "Subdirectory" and type a folder name. This will make it so you can host many pages seamlessly and without having to point people towards www.domain.com/folder
- You put all of your web page files in the folder and no one can tell you have a hundred other folders serving up a hundred other domains on one single iPage account.
Next
Go to 1and1 where you have your domain name registered
Go to 1and1 where you have your domain name registered
- login
- Domains
- Select the domain name
- Click DNS
- Click DNS (Not CNAME)
- My name server
- Enter in name servers received from ipage or other webhost
- ns1.(myhost).com
- ns2.(myhost).com
- It will take 24-72 hours for domain name to propagate through internet
Then:
Now go to ipage (place where you have webspace). Under website click "Wordpress". Click the "Install" button to install another wordpress site.
It asks:
Where would you like WordPress installed?
http://www.yourotherdomain.com/newfoldername (if you did NOT set up a subdirectory pointer)
Advanced: Just select your domain name.
You should see that...
Access URL: http://www.otherdomain.com/
Server Path: /hermes/bosweb/web143/b1432/ipg.webspacecom/home/users/web/b1432/ipg.webspacecom/foldername/
Wordpress will be installed, and now you can go to www.otherdomain.com and see your Wordpress site! Also if you go to www.otherdomain.com/wp-admin you can login and start making edits.
