What is Webuzo?

Webuzo is a control panel. A control panel is a web page where you manage your hosting. Webuzo is a third-party tool, so your plan may or may not include it. Ask Hostvento support if you are not sure. Menu names can differ a bit between versions.

The three types

  • Addon domain: a separate domain with its own website, hosted in the same account. Like a second shop in the same mall.
  • Subdomain: a front part added to your main domain, such as blog.yourdomain.com. It can hold its own site.
  • Parked domain: an extra name that shows the same site as your main domain. Like a second sign on the same shop.

Add an addon domain

  1. Log in to Webuzo. Your login details are in your welcome email.
  2. Open Domain Management, then Domains.
  3. Click Add Domain.

  4. Type the new domain name, for example newsite.com.
  5. Choose the folder. Webuzo suggests one inside your main web folder. You can accept it.
  6. Click Add Domain.

Then set the new domain's DNS to point to your hosting. DNS is like a phone book for the internet. Use the nameservers from your welcome email, or ask support.

Add a subdomain

  1. In Webuzo, open Domain Management and then Subdomains.

Tip: Some Webuzo versions combine these pages. If you cannot find one, use the search box in Webuzo or ask Hostvento support.

Check that it works

  1. Wait for DNS changes. It can take a few hours.
  2. Upload a simple index.html file to the folder.
  3. Open the domain in your browser.

Your plan may limit how many domains you can add. Ask support if you hit an error.

Quick recap

  • Addon domain: a different domain with its own site.
  • Subdomain: a part of your main domain, like blog.yourdomain.com.
  • Parked domain: an extra name showing the same site.
  • Add each one under Domain Management in Webuzo.
