RE: [cobalt-users] RAQ4 Name Based Hosting

["WebSite Creations" <main@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thank You for your response.

One further query......

In your explanation you showed the example

<IP Address> <domain name> <alias for the domain in Linux>

What would be the 'alias for the domain in linux'?

I'm still unclear of what the client could type in to see his files that he
has uploaded,
if he is using a shared IP and his domain name has not yet been activated.

Would it be something lilke    '216.147.44.55/nameofalias'  ?

Whereas the 216.147.44.55 is the shared IP
and 'nameofalias' is the <alias for the domain in Linux>

Thanks again and forgive my primitive questions.
