The Domains tab lists every domain and subdomain on your website. From here you can check whether your domain points to us, add subdomains such as blog.example.com, and choose which folder each domain loads.

Difficulty

Beginner

Time

5 minutes (plus up to 48 hours for nameservers)

​
Point your domain to FREAKHOSTING

Your website won’t load on your domain until the domain uses our nameservers. Until then, a yellow banner at the top of your website’s pages reminds you, with a copy button next to each nameserver.
1

Sign in where you bought the domain

For example, your domain registrar’s dashboard. If you bought the domain from us, use the client area.
2

Find the nameserver settings

It’s usually called Nameservers, DNS or Name servers. Choose the option to use custom nameservers.
3

Enter all four nameservers

Remove any other nameservers that were there before.
4

Save and wait

Changes usually take a few hours but can take up to 48 hours to work everywhere. When they’re live, the banner disappears and the warning icon in the domain list goes away.
Once your domain points to us, request a free SSL certificate so your site loads on https://. See Manage SSL certificates and HTTPS.
Prefer to keep DNS with Cloudflare? Connect it under Integrations so your records stay in sync.

​
The domain list

Go to Websites, click your website, then click Domains.

The Domains tab

Click ⋮ next to a domain for Manage or Delete.

​
Add a subdomain

1

Click Add domain

On the Domains tab, click Add domain.
2

Enter the subdomain

Type the first part only, for example blog. Your main domain is added automatically, giving blog.example.com. The form shows how many subdomains your plan allows, for example 0 of 2 Subdomains used.
3

Check the document root

By default the subdomain gets its own folder named after it, for example /blog.example.com, in your home folder. Change it if you want it to load a different folder.
Add new domain form with the Subdomain tab, 0 of 2 Subdomains used, the name blog with .test.com suffix and document root /blog.test.com

Add a subdomain

4

Click Add

You’ll see ‘blog.example.com’ added. It appears in the list as SUBDOMAIN, and in Websites as its own row.
Your plan decides which kinds of domains you can add. On plans that include only subdomains, Subdomain is the only option. To host a separate domain as its own site, see Add and manage websites.

​
Manage a domain

Click ⋮ → Manage next to a domain. The page has these sections:
Domain page for test.com PRIMARY with sections Document root, Email authentication with a DKIM toggle, Mail routing settings with Local mail and Remote mail, and DNS records

Managing a domain

​
Change the document root

Click the pencil next to Document root, enter the folder (for example /public_html/shop), and save. This will update the directory (folder) that is designated to hold the domain’s web pages.

​
Delete a domain or subdomain

Click ⋮ → Delete next to it, or Delete at the bottom of the domain’s page. The message warns that the domain and any associated email addresses will be deleted from your website. Click Delete. The domain’s folder and files stay in your home directory. Delete them yourself in the File Manager if you no longer need them.
Deleting a domain that has email accounts stops email for it. Move or back up anything important first.

​
Troubleshooting

Check at your registrar that all four nameservers are set exactly as above and that no old ones remain. If you changed them less than 48 hours ago, give it more time.
Its folder is empty. Upload an index.html or index.php to the subdomain’s folder, or install an app on it.
You’ve reached your plan’s limit. Delete one you no longer need, or upgrade from Subscriptions.
