You use the cPanel to AddOn your domain. If you haven't changed the
DNS yet, nothing will happen to your old site, and the AddOn routine
will complain that the DNS is wrong (which is OK, thats what you are
trying to do!) The AddOn routine does everything else correctly. Then
you move your site into the appropriate folder(s). After you are happy
with how your site runs at on-rev, you change the DNS with your domain
registrar, and as it percolates through the intertubes your new site
will be in use. Thats my experience, anyway, with a test site.
Good Luck!

Hey Alex,
You'll need to register a domain name with a registrar - many
people here have recommended GoDaddy, which is what I use. Let's
say you register "alextweedly.com" Then you edit the Nameserver
setting with the registrar so that it points to On-Rev with the
info that On-Rev provides, which is probably:
ns1.on-rev.com
ns2.on-rev.com
Then you can create an "Add-on" domain in your On-Rev control panel
with the name you registered. Place your web site files in this new
directory. Within a short while everything should sync up and
requests for "alextweedly.com" will bring visitors to your On-Rev
hosted site. And with On-Rev you can host unlimited sites.
A "freebie" you get with On-Rev is a user space with your account
name, like "alextweedly.on-rev.com". You can host a site at this
address without further registration.
HTH,
No, it doesn't - but thanks for trying to help.
I already have a domain (actually, quite a few of them :-)
I want to migrate some of them to OnRev, but like Sarah I want to
test them properly before I risk changing nameservers, in case I am
breaking something, and would have the site be down for a day or two
before I can change them back again.
So the process Sarah described, namely
[...] wanted to test it out before changing the DNS entries.
I created a sub-domain "troz.troz.on-rev.com" so I could migrate my
site & test it, before changing it to an AddOn domain and altering
the
DNS.
So the question was quite precise .... how do you "change a sub-
domain to an AddOn domain" ?
There is no mention in the docs (afaics) of changing sub-domain to
addon domain.
Thanks

Could you expand slightly on how you do this ?
I (think I) unerstand most of it
- create a sub-domain
- copy files over
- test it
But how do you "change a sub-domain to an AddOn domain" ?
Thanks
