???? How to Manage Multiple Websites

If you own more than one domain, you can easily host and manage all your websites under a single Fast Host Nig hosting account. This saves time and money while keeping everything organized in one place.


???? Step 1: Log in to Your cPanel

  1. Go to www.fasthost.com.ng.

  2. Click Client Area → Login.

  3. Access your hosting plan, then click Login to cPanel.


???? Step 2: Add a New Domain

  1. In cPanel, scroll to the Domains section.

  2. Click Addon Domains (or Domains if using the new cPanel layout).

  3. Enter your new domain name (e.g., secondwebsite.com).

  4. Choose a Document Root folder — this is where the new site’s files will be stored (e.g., /public_html/secondwebsite).

  5. Click Add Domain.

✅ Your new domain is now added and ready to use.


???? Step 3: Upload Website Files

  1. Open File Manager in cPanel.

  2. Go to the folder you set as the document root for your new domain.

  3. Upload your website files into that folder.

Each domain has its own folder, so your files remain separate and organized.


???? Step 4: Create a Database (If Needed)

If your new website uses a CMS like WordPress, you’ll need a separate database:

  1. Go to MySQL® Databases.

  2. Create a new database and user.

  3. Assign the user to the database with All Privileges.

  4. Use these details during installation.


???? Step 5: Manage Subdomains and Redirects

You can also:

  • Add Subdomains (e.g., blog.yourdomain.com).

  • Set Redirects to send visitors from one domain to another.

  • Manage DNS records for each domain under Zone Editor.


???? Step 6: Check Your Sites

Visit each domain in your browser:

  • yourdomain.com → loads your main site

  • secondwebsite.com → loads your addon site

If DNS isn’t set up yet, point your domains to:

 
ns1.fasthost.com.ng ns2.fasthost.com.ng

and allow up to 24 hours for propagation.


That’s It!

You’ve successfully set up and managed multiple websites under your Fast Host Nig hosting account.
Enjoy full control, easy management, and seamless performance for all your domains
