Domains: how to set up parked domains

To share your document root with "domain.tld", follow these organized steps:

Create an Addon Domain:
- Log in to your hosting control panel using your credentials.
- Navigate to the Domains section within the control panel.
- Click on either Create Alias or Add Domain, depending on your provider's terminology.
- Enter "domain.tld" as the domain name and select the document root as /home/username/public_html.
- Click Submit to create the addon domain.
HTML-Based Validation:
- Add the following meta tag in your main website's <head> section for a seamless redirect:
```
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;url=https://www.domain.tld">
```
- Replace https://www.domain.tld with your actual domain name.
- This method ensures your main site remains accessible while redirecting to the addon domain.
Post-Validation Completion:
- After creating the alias, ensure validation is completed within 24 hours for the domain to become active.
- Once successful, access "domain.tld" by visiting its URL in your browser.
Troubleshooting Assistance:
- If issues arise during validation or accessing the domain, utilize the support options provided by your hosting provider, such as Live Chat.
- Check for any DNS misconfigurations or SSL certificate issues that might prevent the domain from resolving correctly.
- Manage parked domains through the provider's interface to avoid confusion and ensure only active domains are maintained.
