 * Hi there
 * I am hosting the site on my lunarpages server (with cpanel) but the domain is
   registered at go daddy. I am not clear on how to do the steps outside the WP 
   plugin. I have created the domain page as you instruct but dealing with the host
   loses me no matter how closely I read. I am sorry for such a newbie question 
   but just working on a personal site and no support beyond you good people. Please
   help with basic steps in this case.
 * Many thanks, Nick

 * We didn’t include installation instructions specifically for cPanel, so it’s 
   no wonder the instructions are not clear to you. Please use below instructions
   to add a “parked domain” in cPanel:
 * 1. Login to the cPanel control panel
    2. Go to “Parked Domains” in the “Domains”
   section 3. In the section “Create a New Parked Domain”, enter the domain of the
   domain name page and click “Add Domain” (domain root should be the same as your
   main website and redirection should be disabled for the parked domain) 4. The
   domain name page should now be shown when you visit the parked domain, but it
   might take up to 24 hours for changes to take effect.
 * If you’re still having issues, please comment with both the domain of your main
   site (where WordPress is running) and the domain you’re trying to show the domain
   name page on. It allows me to do an extra check to see if the DNS records for
   the domain name page are properly configured.
