I’m a newbie on hosting blogs. I have a shared hosting account on HostGator

  • 0

I’m a newbie on hosting blogs. I have a shared hosting account on HostGator that uses cpanel, and I want to install multiple wordpress sites.

I have my wp sites under /home/username/public_html/, so each site has its own directory under public_html. The problem is for my primary domain, the one I got from the hosting. It was installed under the public_html itself, so my other sites were accessible from the primary site, like http://www.primarysite/other-site. Is this the typical structure of hosting multiple wp sites on shared hosts?

Is it ok to have my other sites accessible under the primary site?

A detailed explanation would be very useful, or just point me to some good tutorials/articles. Thanks again!

    yes you can acces your other sites under your primary domain. For that you have to install wordpress under different directories.

    I think you may be aware of addon domain feature. Try using the addon domain feature in your cPanel.

    • You have two domains mysite.com and my-other-site.com.
    • You want the two domains to be totally separate/independent websites.
