Adding a virtualhost is straightforward.
  • Select the domain to manage
  • Under "Manage virtualhosts" click Add virtualhost.
  • A box pops up, type "www" two times with no quotes.
  • Set virtualhost aliases to these 2 lines (changing the domain name)
    customer.com
    *.customer.com
These aliases tell the webserver to always serve the website files at: /ispman/domains/customer.com/vhosts/www/htdocs
NOTE: If you have multiple virtualhosts/websites, don't use *.customer.com as an apache alias, use simply www.customer.com. Using *.customer.com may block access to the second virtual host.
  • Make sure "FTP Access" is enabled, and set an "FTP password". This is also the password to the customer control panel.
  • Click the "Update" button.
  • Be sure to click "Commit session" when done.
ADVANCED TIP: To add a second virtualhost, like private.customer.com, use the above steps, but at step 3, type private twice. Your ftp server would be private.customer.com and FTP username would be private.customer.com.
FTP server The hostname of the virtualhost. If you were editing www.customer.com, the FTP server would be www.customer.com.
username The full name of the virtualhost. If you were editing www.customer.com, the username would be www.customer.com.
password Whatever you set above.
The website files should be uploaded to the htdocs folder.
