Learn how to add domains, change your primary domain, create subdomains, and remove domains from your FPS.ms web hosting account.

Your FPS.ms web hosting service supports multiple domains and subdomains. You can add your own domains, switch the primary domain, and create subdomains to organize your sites.

Adding a new domain

  1. Go to the Domains section of your web hosting server
  2. Click Add Domain
  3. Choose a domain source:
    • Existing -- a domain you already own through FPS.ms
    • New -- register a new domain through FPS.ms
    • Transfer -- transfer a domain from another registrar
    • External -- a domain managed elsewhere (you handle DNS manually)
    • Subdomain -- a free *.hostedbyfps.com subdomain
  4. Enter the domain name and click Add

DNS Required

For external domains, you must point your domain's DNS A record to your hosting server's IP address. Without this, your domain will not load your website.

Changing the primary domain

Your primary domain is the main domain your hosting service runs under. To change it:

  1. Go to the Domains section
  2. Click Change Primary Domain
  3. Select the domain source and enter the new domain
  4. Click Confirm

The change runs in the background and may take a minute to fully apply.

Subdomain Rate Limit

Switching to a managed *.hostedbyfps.com subdomain as your primary domain is limited to once per week.

Creating subdomains

Subdomains let you host additional content under a domain (e.g., blog.yourdomain.com).

  1. Go to the Domains section and find your domain
  2. Click Subdomains next to the domain
  3. Enter the subdomain name (e.g., blog)
  4. Click Add

If your domain's DNS is managed by FPS.ms, an A record is automatically created for the subdomain.

Removing a domain

  1. Go to the Domains section
  2. Click the Delete button next to the domain you want to remove
  3. Confirm the deletion

Primary Domain

You cannot delete the primary domain. Change your primary domain to a different one first if you need to remove it.
