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?

[image] freakyfinder: Do you know what the issue is? What is the domain?

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?

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

Please read this thread [image] Help Deleting my htdocs Directory? Hosting Support 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?

[image] freakyfinder: how long would this take to updat This would depend on how fast is your internet connection [image] freakyfinder: to be visible through the roblogs.net domain?

Domains and DNS You’ve just added your domain to InfinityFree or changed your nameservers, but when you visit your domain, you’re seeing a “DNS Resolution Error” page, an error message, or your old website instead of your new hosting account. This is completely normal and happens because of something called DNS caching. How long should I wait? Most domains start working within 24 hours. However, it can take up to 72 hours for your domain to work for everyone around the world. This timing depends on factors out…

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 Domains and DNS

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…
