root access & multiple domains vs. parked domains [Archive]

Hi!

I've been reading through the forums and like what I see. Just had a few questions...

1) I saw in another post that customers do not have access to the root directory? So would this mean I would not be able to use things like robots.txt and .htaccess

2) I currently have one account with 5 parked domains with another host. Of those 6 domains, 4 are separate websites (domains redirected to sub-directories). What this means to me is that my emails all have to come from the 'primary' domain (the 'account' one). If I move things over to here to a multiple domain account, would these all be separate accounts or parked in the same manner?

3) referral or error logs?

I saw in another post that customers do not have access to the root directory? So would this mean I would not be able to use things like robots.txt and .htaccessMost likely, that person was talking about the ROOT folder of the server. In that case, no, you don't have access to that, and also does include the HTTPd.conf file.

You do have access to what is called your account root directory. This is in the form of /home/username. In that folder is a folder called public_html. So, if you put a file called something.gif in /home/username/public_html, that will be accessable by using http://www.somedomain.com/something.gif.

I currently have one account with 5 parked domains with another host. Of those 6 domains, 4 are separate websites (domains redirected to sub-directories). What this means to me is that my emails all have to come from the 'primary' domain (the 'account' one). If I move things over to here to a multiple domain account, would these all be separate accounts or parked in the same manner?You can have them set up as separate accounts with their own Control Panel, FTP, and email, or we can park them as you currently have it setup.

referral or error logs?We have a tool that you can use to parse your Raw Access Logs from the main Apache logs. When you sigh up, we can give that tool to you.
