My website addon domain

[freakyfinder]

Hello there.

I have a website where I’m using the domain brownbricks.000.pe, and I want to use my own custom domain. I added the domain successfully through the addon domains section, and it’s almost 48 hours ago. It still hasn’t updated.

Do you know what the issue is?

Do you know what the issue is?

What is the domain?

[freakyfinder]

The domain I want to use is roblogs .net. I might’ve found the issue, but I don’t know how to fix it. The document root for the brownbricks.000.pe is the htdocs folder, and the document root for the roblogs.net domain is a folder called roblogs.net which is empty. Can I easily change the document root somehow?

How to move a website to a different directory

Every website is linked to a certain htdocs directory on your account. But sometimes you need to move a website from one htdocs directory to another. This may be necessary if: You are moving to a different domain name (e.g. a free subdomain to a custom domain). You have recreated your domain name and it was assigned to a different directory. Fortunately, there is no need to rebuild your website from scratch. It’s not difficult to move your website from one directory to another. How to move a…

Thank you, that makes sense. When I try to paste the htdocs folder in the roblogs.net folder, I get an error.
"Error during FTP download, at “/htdocs/.\Roblogs_files\pruebas1.png”: RETR command failed (path:/htdocs /.\Roblogs_files\pruebas1.png).

There are no file with the name pruebas1.png

Update: There was a file with the name, but I can’t delete it or do anything with it.

You can’t download, copy, paste, delete or do anything to the file

Help Deleting my htdocs Directory?

I need to start afresh, in my htdocs directory. Can an administrator delete all files and directories inside my htdocs directory in my account, please? I am encountering strange error when I try to delete things or change directories within Monsta. My user name is REMOVED BY MOD

Alright, thank you.

I have another question though- if I put all of the htdocs files into the new roblogs.net folder (which is linked to the addon domain I’m going to be using), how long would this take to update, and for the site to be visible through the roblogs.net domain?

@freakyfinder

how long would this take to updat

This would depend on how fast is your internet connection

When will my domain name start working

If you’ve just created your account, or just added a new domain name to an account, you may be surprised that you are unable to view your website when using the domain. Instead you may see: An advertisements page, with ?z being added to the URL. An error saying “This site can’t be reached”. This is usually caused by a system called DNS Caching. This article explains how DNS Caching works, why your website isn’t up yet and what you can do to see your website right now. When will I be able to …

I added the addon domain about 48 hours ago, but I just imported the htdocs files into the new roblogs.net folder. Is there still upto 72 hours left until it can be viewed?

What is DNS propagation

You’ve added a new domain name to your account, just changed your nameservers or recently modified some DNS settings. However, they aren’t working yet. You’ve discovered already that it’s not working yet because of something called “DNS Propagation”. But what does that mean? Introduction to DNS Before you can understand how DNS Propagation works, you need to understand how DNS itself works. So let’s start with that. Servers on the internet are identified by a set of numbers called an IP addres…

If you added the addon domain 48 hours ago, then most likely DNS caching has already refreshed and you’re connecting to our servers. If so, any file changes should be visible instantly.

I checked your website and it seems to be working fine from here.
