The example is the easiest way I can explain.
domain.com/cpanel-1 (is on same VPS but cpanel #1)
domain.com/cpanel-2 (is on same VPS but cpanel #2)
domain.com/cpanel-3 (is on same VPS but cpanel #3)
This is because I built one site which is secure and the others are wordpress sites that are probably outdated and I don't want my site to get hacked because of the other outdated sites I didn't build.
I know this can be done with a subdomain but that's not the idea.
Any ideas are appreciated or if that's just not possible.

I think my website has been hacked.
Some users reported redirects from my home page to another website.
The problem only concerns the home page and not the other pages.
Also, when I type www.domain.com/index.php there is no problem. But when I type "www.domain.com" I find myself on another website.
My site has been hard-coded with an obsolete PHP version (5.3) and hosted by OVH on a shared server.
Can anyone help me identify the problem?
So I'm a web designer with experience in HTML, CSS and Java. I've used FTP to manage my site a couple of times for my company.
Overall I have experience in using Joomla and WordPress CMSs, but that's just the problem: I have barely any experience in even understanding DNSs, server stuff, domain management. I could really use some help on this.
Firstly, our IT Manager left so now I'm in charge as the sole web designer of the company. The website URL is www.????.org.uk and that's where the live website is.
Issue here is that sometimes I type in the same URL WITHOUT the www, which results in ANOTHER website (actually a beta I worked on a while ago that I'm sure the IT Manager set up for me).
We have a 123reg account and a HeartInternet Reseller hosting account. I understand that you buy domains, and you can forward them to a hosting platform to manage them and 'serve' them on servers to make them live. So in this case I'm betting it's owned and bought using 123Reg, and hosted on HeartInternet.
Here's the second issue I don't understand. We have a bunch of domains bought, most redirecting to www.????.org.uk, but we ALSO have the URL WITHOUT the www.
Remember what I said earlier? All things point to www version, but we own a domain WITHOUT the www and I can't find the domain listed anywhere with the www, so how in the world can I manage the www site (which is the live site)?
Please do teach me a little if you can about this and point me to the right direction. Thank you!
From what I saw several times before:
By default the www is use-less and points to the default ip:port registered at ????.org.uk. For a reason (that I don't understand) some people create a new DNS entry with a sub-domain called "www" pinging to a different ip and/or port. This results in www.????.org.uk acting like someSubDomain.????.org.uk.
Have you checked if this could be your case?
If it is, I suggest you change the "www" subdomain to "dev" or "beta". This will make www.????.org.uk and ????.org.uk redirect to the same "website" and beta.????.org.uk to the beta version of your company's site.
Be aware that a DNS change could require up to 24h to be spread and updated on the ISP's servers.
I am using Squarespace to host a portfolio site at http://chasem.co. I am also building a personal landing using Jekyll and Github Pages. I want to set this up in a kind of weird way. Here's what I want:
The domain (chasem.co) should point to the landing page hosted on Github using Jekyll. However, I still want to use the the portfolio pages at Squarespace, which are at chasem.co/photos and chasem.co/design. The page at chasem.co will have links to these pages.
Is this possible? Basically I want to use the root of the domain for a page hosted at one place, and then directories of that URL for pages hosted elsewhere.
Any ideas are welcome. Thanks!
I'm not a network genius but I think that your setup will be hard to get working.
The alternative idea is to use a subdomain for your photos and design sections.
pointing DNS to chasem.co at github + CNAME file in your user repository github.com/userName/userName.github.io
pointing DNS to photos.chasem.co and design.chasem.co at Squarespace
I installed concrete5 CMS in main domain folder and created an addon domain pointing to the main domain, but after creating the full website, when I redirect it from cpanel, the navigation is not working at all. You can see it by clicking following link:
the link where I build the site: http://www.venturescontracting.com/venturestowing
after redirect the addon domain http://www.venturestowing.com/
Please help me. How can I permanently redirect to the addon domain correctly?
Edit update: Oops. Looks like this is all fixed now. All okay? Original note follows, as the concept of "subdomains all" makes some sense...
Have you seen this link on best practices for hosting multiple concrete5 domains? Basically you place each 'site' in a separate directory, such that no one site his hosted at the root (public_html)... Everything is in subfolders from the root directory, and registered as a subdomain. Then you point the domain A-record to the IP address of your hosting site. Your hosting site (which appears to be Godaddy) can help you do this. They have pretty good tech support via phone 24x7
new to dreamhost here and have followed the wiki on this but still need some additional help if possible. I want to be able to preview a site while I work on it, before I point the live domain to my dreamhost server. I've added the domain via the Control Panel, and all my files sit in the directory, /home/user/mysite.com - which is correct I think. When trying to follow the wiki with regards the mirroring details, I find that the only option I have is as follows, where I can't change any of these details:
Create the mirror at: mysite.com
Mirror this site: existingsite.com
The existingsite.com is just a live site sitting on the same server space. Is there something I'm missing here? Probably a newb mistake no doubt :)
Mirroring is for you to point a domain to an existing site. Hence this means you can mirror on 1 site. ie. both existingsite.com and mirrorsite.com points to the same server space.
If you want to create a development site, you probably are talking about 2 installations.
In this case, a quick and dirty trick I use is to create a development subdomain, dev.existingsite.com and fully host it. You normally get a /home/user/dev.existingsite.com folder with this. When your site is fully ready, you can edit your fully hosted existingsite.com and point the web directory to dev.existingsite.com. A better way is to SSH in and move the files.
There's an option copy files over in the settings page. Anyway dreamhost live help is pretty good. This is definitely something they will answer.
