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. Choose the System Administration mode on the system information bar on the left in the CP+ Admin Mode section.
2. Click the Add Website icon in the Websites Management section:

   

3. 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 Address: you can use your Unix username and the address will look like testuser@example.com.
   • End Users: the maximum number of End Users 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.
