General Settings

To view a website’s general hosting settings, click Hosting Settings
below the site’s name at Websites & Domains.

The general website hosting settings are divided into groups:

Basic Settings

• Domain name. The domain name that you register with a domain
  registrar and will use for this website.

  Note: Depending on the hosting provider’s policy, you may not be allowed
  to modify the domain name of the main domain of your subscription.
  By default, the main domain’s name coincides with the
  subscription’s name.

• Hosting type. The hosting type (Website, Forwarding, and
  No hosting) defines the website behavior. By default, all
  websites belong to the Website hosting type as they are
  physically hosted on the server.

  To change the hosting type, use the Change link. To learn more
  about hosting types, see Hosting Types.

  To suspend the website with all mailboxes and mailing lists hosted
  under the website’s domain name use the Suspend option.

  Note: Other basic settings depend on the selected hosting type. See
  Hosting Types.

• Website status. The website status defines the site’s

  the status if you want the site to be temporarily unavailable, for
  example, for maintenance purposes. See Website
  Status.
