''Prerequisites'': The first order of business is to make sure that your domain name is pointing to your server's IP address. Each website is different, but GoDaddy goes like this:
:* Go to your GoDaddy's ''My Account'' page. Under Dashboard, click yourdomain.com
:** Point your cursor at the Nameserver icon, click ''Set Nameservers'' ::: [[File:Nameserverlink.jpg|caption]]:** Select ''I want to '''forward''' my domains'' and click OK ::: [[File:forwarddomainname.jpg|frameless|caption]]
:* Now go back to your account homepage, and instead of clicking yourdomain.com, check it and click ''View in Domain Manager''
:** Click yourdomain.com
:** Scroll down to '''DNS Manager''' and click ''Launch'' :::[[File:DNSmanagger.jpg|frameless|caption]]:** Under '''A(Host)''' edit the IP Address(es) to reflect the IP Address of your server. Hit enter and then ''Save Zone File'' when that option appears.:::[[File:ahostpointsto.jpg|frameless|caption]]
:* The effects should appear within one hour
# Go to ''Apps'' and then ''Webapps''
# At the very bottom, click ''New Web App'' and type in a name like Website
:This is where your webpage will reside in, you can name this anything you'd like. This is not the title of your website or webpage. Website will be used as the name for this guide :::[[File:newebapp.jpg|frameless|caption]]
# Do everything as told above under the "Hosting a single Webapp" heading above, but of course our app is called Website.
:''Hint:'' Instead of using user.yourhda.com for your ServerAlias, go ahead and use yourdomain.com ('''without the www.''') if you have one from, for example, GoDaddy.
:* Click ''New Share'' at the very bottom
:* We will name our share Website
:** Notice that the path is automatically filled out for us. This is not the path that will be used, so the path that will be typed in will be ''/var/hda/web-apps/Website/'' :::[[File:newshare.jpg|frameless|caption]]
:* Click ''Create this Share'', now the folder will be available from your normal \\hda spot.
:** You can test your new website by creating an index.html (put something simple, like "hi", as a text) in the html folder in your Website share folder, and then going to yourdomain.com
