Adding a New Domain
This page covers adding additional websites to your web hosting service. You can skip this if you are setting up your first domain, since it is covered if you followed the Get Webhosting steps. This topic assumes that you have already covered CPanel basics on your first domain, if not, you may want to read some on CPanel.
- Click the Domain Manager icon on the CPanel.
- Enter your new domain name in the “New Domain Search” box and click search (repeat if necessary until an available domain name is found).
- Select auto renew (you can always cancel this later if you want).
- Choose the privacy option, if you want (see Bluehost’s description of it here).
- Agree to terms and purchase.
- Go back to Domain Manager and click “unassigned”, then follow the following steps:
- Pick domain
- Skip
- Choose addon
- Keep public_html/yourdomainname and leave the subdomain (this is confusing, it is just for setting up folders only and is not what is entered on the http:// line)
- Click Add Domain
