Adding Websites

When you create a website as the administrator, CP+ adds a new virtual domain in the apache configuration, a unixuser, and a CP+ user to log into the control panel. To create a website:

1. Click the Add Website icon in the User Management section:

   

2. Enter new website parameters:

   

   • Domain name: this should be the parent domain under which all other domains will live. For example, if you want to set up www.example.com for a website and example.com for receiving mail at jsmith@exapmple.com, enter simply example.com. The corresponding www.example.com and mail.example.com will be created for you, as will an MX record to direct mail for the domain example.com to mail.example.com.
   • Description: a description to the domain name.
   • User name: the first created website user will also be the website/domain owner.
   • Password: password for this unix user. Make sure to confirm password.
   • Contact E-Mail: you can use your Unix username and the address will look like testuser@example.com.
   • Mailboxes: the maximum number of mailboxes allowed on this domain.
   • Databases: specifies the amount of mysql or postgres databases for website.
   • Subdomains: the maximum number of subdomains allowed on this domain.
   • Network Interface: choose the IP this domain will be hosted: Shared IP or new IP.
3. Click the Add Website button to apply.

When the website is created, you will see it in the list of existing websites in Managing Websites.
If you want to look through or change default website settings, click the Default Website options link at the upper right corner.
