Establishing Your Web Presence

Follow this manual to add a new domain or subdomain to your BoostonCP account. This process automatically establishes the webserver configuration and directory structure.

Step 1: Open the Domain Portal

Navigate to Domains from your User Dashboard and click the "Add New Domain" button.

Step 2: Enter Domain Telemetry

  1. Domain Name: Enter your FQDN (e.g., example.com or blog.mysite.net). Do not include http://.
  2. Document Root: Define the folder where your files will be stored. By default, BoostonCP uses /public_html/domain_name.
  3. Create Directory: Ensure the checkbox is active if you want the system to establish the folder automatically.

Step 3: Initializing the VHost

Click "Create Domain". The neural engine will now generate the required Nginx/Apache virtual host and reload the system services. Once finished, you can upload your files via the File Manager or FTP.

MANUAL TIP: To create a subdomain, simply enter the full name (e.g., dev.example.com) in the Domain Name field. The system will handle the routing automatically.
