Viewing duplicate an existing website

duplicate an existing website



User: Donald C. 9 years ago
Hello,
I have already published a retail website for my customers. I would now like to publish the exact same website for my wholesale customers, but with wholesale pricing. Is this possible? This can be done in the old iWeb, but I see no way to do it in EverWeb. My retail website is now abc.com, and I would like the new website to be wholesale.abc.com. Is this possible? I don't want to just add a folder to my retail website like abc.com/wholesale. I then want to be able to edit both websites independently of each other. thanks for any advice.

You need to find your project in the Finder and then duplicate it. You can do this by using the 'Show On Disk' option from the drop down menu next to the project in the Projects window. You will see little arrows next to the projects listed there, click that to reveal the menu with the Show On Disk option

Paul, That was a lot of help for me and saved me a lot of time. Now I would like to publish the website, but not as a subdirectory. I would like it to be www.wholesale.mywebsite.com Not mywebsite.com/wholesale. What do I need to do to accomplish this? Sorry for all the questions but I can't find these answers in the instructions or forums.
thanks for you time.

One more thing. The reason I want to do this is my customers are used to the wholesale.mydomain.com They have been using it for over 10 years and I don't want them confused. They are pretty slow learners.

If you want to use subdomains, you'll have to configure your server.

The HELP of your webhoster will tell you how to do that.

You may already know that, because you already have a subdomain.

Once you know it, you know where to publish. Which you also may know, since you have customers.

Junbo,
Thanks for your reply but I'm with EverWeb and I see no way to configure their servers. Am I missing something?

If you use wholesale as subdomain then how did you configure it?
User: Donald C. 9 years ago
i did it through my previous domain host. now i am with everweb and i see no provisions to use a subdomain. the only way i can do it is to to use mydomain,com/wholesale. i want to use wholesale.mydomain.com, there is a big difference, but everweb has a very limited choice on what you can and cannot do as far as i can see.
thanks

Then you made the wrong decision to host at ragesw.

'Ease of use, no knowledge required' aka one-click-publishing comes at a price.
User: Donald C. 9 years ago
maybe so, but you don't know these things until you dig deep. i believe they say you can create as many websites as you want (.Create as many websites as you want with EverWeb. Each website has its own project file so you can focus only on the content that matters). I thought I could add subdomains to my existing mydomain.com. It should be a really easy thing to do, but it doesn't look like it is. But I'm not giving up because when Rage gets back to me they might offer me a solution as their customer service is very good. As this is a forum for help, I find your responses a little condescending. But, thanks for taking the time to respond. It's appreciated.

Just a follow up to my concerns. EverWeb support has helped me with my subdomain creation. It's quite easy if you know how. The information just isn't in the documentation. At least I couldn't find it. If you go to My Products and Services and click on View Details it takes you to a page where you can manage account. Click on Subdomains and fill in the appropriate spaces and presto, you have a subdomain. www.abc.yourdomain.com is in addition to your regular domain called yourdomain.com . Before doing this publish your subdomain to your main account and add abc to the subdirectory. That will become your abc.yourdomain.com Things are always easy when you know how. Ha. Glad I persevered. So in the end this is not one-click-publishing website software and I think I made there right choice with ragesw. Glad to be here
