Hosting Control Center: Domain Management

A major revision has taken place in the Hosting Control Center’s Domain Management page.

New Layout
On the left hand side of the page, you can now easily navigate between views for the domain management and the sub domain management.

With the middle table, you can see all of your domains or subdomains.

The action bar found on top of the table, lets you choose which action to perform: change, edit, remove or add alias/sub domains.

Change Primary Domain
The change primary domain page was removed and added here.  Now when you navigate to the change domain page using the icon, you will be directed to change the primary domain through a drop down window that appears.

Edit/Delete Multiple Items

You will now find all domains or subdomains listed in a single page. You can select multiple domains by checking them one by one, or selecting all domains using the bolded check mark found in the header.  You then can edit or delete all the selected items, with the setup status, by clicking these icons and performing the appropriate actions.

Add Multiple Items
To add multiple subdomains simply click the 'Add Subdomain' button in the action bar and enter the subdomains delimited by a comma.  If you decide to make your hosted directory name the same as your subdomain name, a folder will be created for each subdomain. Currently there is a limit of 50 subdomains that can be added at once.

Domain Auto Complete

When changing a primary domain, setting up a new account, or adding a new alias domain you will find a text box to enter the desired domain name. This text box will provide suggestions based on the text entered. If you want to see all the ‘.com’ domain names available, just type ‘.com’ into this text box. Once the desired domain name is found, select it and the text box will automatically populate.

Directory Browser
You will now find a 'browse' button next to the folder path text box. To select an existing folder, all you need to do is click this button and select the desired path. After the selection is made, you will see the selected directory in the text box.  To create a new path you can either type one in directly, or select an existing one and append/modify it.

Virtual Directory Creation
All you are required to do now is add or edit any alias or subdomain with the desired path. If the path is not a virtual directory, one will be created with permissions automatically.

Other Enhancements
First, the user will no longer need to exit their account and re-enter in order to see if any changes have been completed. All you would have to do, is press the 'refresh list' button. 

We have cropped any long text and added a tool tip in order to view the text in its entirety.

And finally, you can now edit a subdomain name.
