Yes. Every EverWeb + Hosting plan can hold more than one website, and each one can have its own domain. You add the second domain to your plan in the Client Area, then publish your second website to it from EverWeb.
How many websites each plan holds
| Plan | Websites | Email accounts |
|---|---|---|
| EverWeb + Hosting 2GB | Up to 5 | 5 |
| EverWeb + Hosting 10GB | Unlimited | 25 |
| EverWeb + Hosting 25GB | Unlimited | 50 |
| EverWeb + Hosting 40GB and 80GB | Unlimited | Unlimited |
All your websites and all your email share your plan's storage. Every plan has unlimited visitors, as long as they don't use up your account's bandwidth. The 10GB plan and larger include Site Shield and SEO PowerUp, and one Site Shield add-on covers all your websites. Need more room or more websites? See How can I upgrade my EverWeb + Hosting account?
Before you start
- You need the second domain. You can register one with us, or use one you already have with another company.
- Changing a domain's nameservers moves its website and email. If the second domain already has a live website or email somewhere else, see Move your website and email to EverWeb Hosting without downtime first.
1. Add the domain to your hosting plan
If you registered the domain with us, check whether it's already on your plan (step 3 shows where). If it isn't, add it:
- Sign in to your Client Area.
- Go to Services > My Services and click your hosting plan.
- Scroll down and click Addon Domains, then Create Addon Domain.
- Type the domain only, such as secondsite.com, with no www or https://.
- Click Create.
If you see "A DNS entry for the domain already exists", see When adding an add-on domain I get this error "A DNS entry for the domain already exists".
2. Point the domain to EverWeb Hosting
The domain's nameservers must be your EverWeb ones. They are in your Welcome to EverWeb email, and in the Client Area when you click your hosting plan. See Point your domain to EverWeb Hosting (update nameservers / DNS). It can take up to 48 hours to update across the internet, and usually happens within 6, depending on your internet provider (ISP).
3. Publish the second website to it
- In EverWeb, make the second website. In the Projects window (titled Welcome to EverWeb), click Create a new website. Or copy an existing one: see Copy a page, or a whole website, within a project or to another project.
- Quit EverWeb completely and open it again, so it sees the new domain.
- Open the second website and go to File > Edit Publishing Settings.
- Set Publish To to EverWeb. Choose your plan in Accounts, and the new domain in Domains.
- Leave Subdirectory empty.
- Go to File > Publish Entire Site.
If the new domain isn't in Domains, sign out and back in: on a Mac at EverWeb > Settings > Account, or on Windows at Edit > Options > Account. Then check again.
Important: each website has its own publishing settings. A copied website starts with the original's settings, including its domain. Check Domains before you publish, or the copy replaces your first website online.
You'll know it worked when the second domain shows the new website in a private browser window. If it should use HTTPS, tick Use HTTPS Secure URLs for this website too. A security warning can last up to 24 hours on a new domain.
Another option: a second website in a folder
If you don't need a separate domain, you can publish a second website to a folder of your main one, such as yourdomain.com/events. Type the folder name in Subdirectory. See Try out changes before they go live: publish a test copy of your website, which uses the same setting.
