Hey, I'm Kerri and I am the webmistress of this blog! I am a young mother of two children and one on the way! I'm working towards becoming a wedding and event planner in the near future, but I also build a lot of websites for no reason and I like to drink coffee. :)

Filed Under: 
Written by: Kerri on Thursday, July 15th, 2010 | 
This tutorial will explain how you can host another person’s blog or website on your domain.
- First, you will need your own domain and cPanel access.
- Complete the tutorial How to Create a Subdomain in cPanel.
- Go back to the home page of cPanel and scroll down to the “Files” section and click on “FTP Accounts”. Click here to view image!
- Fill in the first text box with the SAME username you used when you created the subdomain.
- Create a good, strong password in the next two text boxes.
- Click anywhere on the page and the “Directory” text box will automatically fill itself out.
- Specify a quota. It’s usually automatically checked for “Unlimited”, but I highly recommend that you click the option above it and enter in how many megabytes you will grant. Click to view image!
- Click on “Create FTP Account” and your newly created account will show up on the “FTP Accounts” page.
Now that you have created a subdomain and also an FTP account, you can now host someone’s blog on your domain.
Their website URL will look like this: http://subdomain-name.yourdomain.com/
They will need the username and password to the FTP account you created for them in order for them to upload files to their subdomain and create a blog.
