Addon domains query | drupal.org

Posted by El Bandito on July 8, 2009 at 9:49am

I am considering hosting a second Drupal site ( separate files and database ) within my hosting space provided by AN Hosting. I understand that I need to configure an addon domain within the control panel and then redirect my nameservers for the domain to point to AN Hosting's nameservers.

My question is can I test out the Addon domain concept WITHOUT redirecting the domain nameservers and impacting the current live version of the site ? My first thought would be to reconfigure my PC's DNS servers away from my ISP and straight to AN Hosting's nameservers. Do you think this would work ?

Cheers

Dave

Yes it should work. Will take 30 seconds for you to test and see as well. ;)

I have done the same however, and it works for me.

Thanks. I have added the Addon domain and pointed my PC to AN Hostings nameservers, rather than those of my ISP. Drupal works a treat in the Addon domain directory, but the strange thing is that by doing this I have lost connection to everything outside of AN Hosting i.e. my browser cannot now resolve google.com, news.com etc, etc,

Any ideas ?

Cheers
