Do each domain need a folder, excluding the hosting domain?

  • Hi all,

    I’m subcribing Deluxe plan, Linux hosting, on Godaddy and 2 domains, say domain1.com and domain2.com respectively registered with Godaddy as well. I have a subdomain created on domain2.com, say sub.domain2.com. They are residing on;
    webroot/domain1.com
    webroot/domain2.com/domain2.com
    webroot/sub.domain.com

    Websites have not been built yet. Please advise whether I have to create a folder for sub.domain2.com

    say;
    webroot/sub.domain2.com/sub.domain2.com

    TIA

  • You really need to ask your hosts about this.

    Yes, each additional domain or sub domain requires a folder off the root.

    Your hosting account has to have a domain associated with it and this is the primary domain, which using your example, would be domain1.com.

    Your example is correct except that it is good practice to not include and special characters in the folder names ??

    root > domain1.com files and folders

    root/domain2/ > domain2.com files and folders

    root/subdomain2/ > sub.domain2.com files and folders

    Cheers!
