How to add a domain to your acccount:

This support article details the process to add a hosted domain to your EPHost account. You can add a sub-domain by simply adding an "A" record or "CNAME" to a domain using the Edit DNS Settings options under "domains". A "website" is a unique entry in the web server to serve up a particular website based upon a particular domain/sub-domain.

Note: We use multiple control panel systems at EPhost to manage domains and servers. Please follow the appropriate instructions below depending on type of control panel you have installed on your account. To determine which control panel you are using, please login to your account, view the "Control Panel Logins" from the "Account Overview" screen and you will find the name of the control panel. e.g. Helm or DotNetPanel (DNP)
