Additional Domains

You can add additional domains to your account if you have a silverWEB hosting account or higher. There are three possible ways to do this: web alias, subweb, and a http redirect. In addition to Xenoplanet's fees, you would also be responsible for any domain registration fees (if any). Also keep in mind that you can add a sub-domain (Third Level Domain) in any of the configurations below.

Brief overview of domains:

• Top Level Domains
  Also known as TLDs, or First Level Domains, these include .com, .net, and .org.

• Second Level Domains
  These include a registered name with a Top Level Domain naming authority like InterNIC; examples of Second Level Domains would be xenoplanet.com, or microsoft.com.

• Third Level Domains
  Also known as sub-domains, these are domains served at the local level to the Second Level Domain; for example all Xenoplanet basic account customers get a Third Level Domain like customer.xenoplanet.com. The owner of the Second Level Domain has authority over Third Level Domains.

• Web Alias $12/setup, no monthly fee.
  A Web Alias is simply a domain which can be substituted for an existing domain. For example you currently can visit DNS Studios by going to www.DigitalNaturalSound.com or www.dns-studios.com. Both domains refer to the same place, however dns-studios.com is a web alias. It is possible to have eMail aliases on these domains, however you cannot have eMail accounts.
  

• Subweb $12/setup, $6/month.
  A subweb is a subdirectory on your web account which has a domain mapped to it. For example while a new site could be physically located at www.yourdomain.com/cool_info/, on the web it would appear as www.cool-info.com (not www.yourdomain.com/cool_info/). On the web it appears as an independent domain web site, however it physically shares all your account resources: web space, usage statistics, passwords, customer service area, FrontPage extensions, etc.
  Basically it allows for an independent web site that is inexpensive and simple to manage. Subwebs are NOT web accounts, they DO NOT have their own usernames and passwords, and are not intended for allowing multiple people to have independent access to independent sites on the same web account.
  
  NOTE: Miva, CGI, FrontPage web bots and most FreeCGI scripts will not work with Subwebs due to incompatibilities with this type of server configuration. If you need these feature you should consider purchasing additional web accounts.
  

• HTTP Redirect $12/setup, $6/month.
  (no montly fee for new domains registered with Xenoplanet / Domain Discover)
  HTTP Redirect is similar to a subweb, however the domain is not mapped to the directory.
  Basically when someone types the domain name in their web browser, they will be automatically redirected to the actual physical location.
  
  Example: on the web www.cool-info.com resolves to www.yourdomain.com/cool_info/
  (you are redirected to the actual physical location)
