 Hi Jake,
This one had me for ages too. I put my new site in add on domains, root directory is public_html.

Go to domains in your c panel then go to add ons.

Hope this helps,

Nicola

 Yes, if you just click 'add a new domain' it's really easy. Don't redirect it though.

 Mark recorded a video about building a website . It shows you how to add a new domain to your existing hosting account.
Hope it helps.

 Hi Larry

Adding a second domain name to your hostgator account is done through the control panel (cPanel -> Addon Domains).

Mark recorded a live website build for AffiloBlueprint members, available on this thread here

 Jason,

Thanks for the link to Mark's recording.

I reviewed the portion on domain add on within hostgator and found it very clear.

Thanks again.

 This one got me too. FWIW, the Hostgator folks are always super helpful. Just click on live chat and they'll help you out right away. Beats bangin' your head against the wall looking for answers.
