# Managing Domains & Subdomains

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**

!!! warning "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.

!!! info "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

!!! danger "Primary Domain"
    You cannot delete the primary domain. Change your primary domain to a different one first if you need to remove it.
