tbh i can't even remember how i got my domain name to point to my site after i bought it. :/

now i've got a new hosting package so how do i change it to point to the new place?

well its the same host, just a different package...

so i don't have to change anything in my registrar's cp (i dont think).

i think i need to change something in cpx, but i can't remember what.

ok i think it's the "addon domains" option...

but what do i put in these fields? :confused:

New Domain Name: (i assume this is www.mydomin.com?)
Username/directory/subdomain Name: (no idea what goes here...)
Password: (which password??)

entered all the info, but firefox just gives me a 403 + additional 404.

edit: n/m it works now.

What exactly are you trying to do - you have one hosting package and you've bought another domain name for it?

i had a package with my host for about a year or so, but lately ive been having mystery problems, such as scripts not installing properly, not being able to upload images to my gallery, and users on my forums not being able to upload their own avatars (and yes it's CHMOD'ed correctly).

anyway, couldnt work out what was causing the problems so i signed up for another package from my host. and as i suspected, everything installed and worked fine first time.

so to get to the point, now i'm just moving my existing domain name to point to my website folder in my new hosting package.
