Cpanel Tips: Multiple Sites on one Cpanel Host

The last couple weeks I’ve had to work on a managed server which only has Cpanel access and the associated WebHost Manager. The people in #cpanel on efnet have been VERY helpful in getting me around some sticky configuration issues.

Putting 2 sites on one control panel

A client had a domain name which was registered and hosted using Yahoo! Small Business Services. Due to the fact that he was using all the YSB services, he could not transfer the domain to our servers, best thing we could do is point www.domain.com to our server and let YSB take care of all the services which were attached to *.domain.com.

This client already had a Cpanel account on this server (we’ll call it domain1.com), so I figured we could just create an addon “parked” domain which would catch that domain. For some reason (which I can’t remember now) that didn’t work.

What finally worked was to create a subdomain of domain1.com, and then create an CNAME record from www.domain.com which pointed at domain.domain1.com.

Obviously this is a bit screwy, but it works.
