    Hi there

    I am hosting the site on my lunarpages server (with cpanel) but the domain is registered at go daddy. I am not clear on how to do the steps outside the WP plugin. I have created the domain page as you instruct but dealing with the host loses me no matter how closely I read. I am sorry for such a newbie question but just working on a personal site and no support beyond you good people. Please help with basic steps in this case.

    Many thanks, Nick

    We didn’t include installation instructions specifically for cPanel, so it’s no wonder the instructions are not clear to you. Please use below instructions to add a “parked domain” in cPanel:

    1. Login to the cPanel control panel
    2. Go to “Parked Domains” in the “Domains” section
    3. In the section “Create a New Parked Domain”, enter the domain of the domain name page and click “Add Domain” (domain root should be the same as your main website and redirection should be disabled for the parked domain)
    4. The domain name page should now be shown when you visit the parked domain, but it might take up to 24 hours for changes to take effect.

    If you’re still having issues, please comment with both the domain of your main site (where WordPress is running) and the domain you’re trying to show the domain name page on. It allows me to do an extra check to see if the DNS records for the domain name page are properly configured.
