Addon Domains

This setup allows you to have multiple domain hosting and manage all through your domain hosting control panel. For example, you can have your domain www.myinnovation.org.nz pointing to the subfolder www.mygoodbusiness.org.nz/innovation/. Please note that addon domains must be registered domain name and resolved to the server where you are setting it up as addon domain.
