Changing Web Hosting Type From Physical to Forwarding

If you hosted a site on the server with virtual (or physical) hosting account, and now you need only domain forwarding service for that site because it has been moved to another server, you should delete the hosting configuration and reconfigure the hosting account.

Before deleting hosting configuration for a site that was previously on a physical hosting account, make sure that the site owner has a local copy of his or her site because all files and directories related to a site are removed from the server when a hosting account is removed.

To reconfigure a hosting account:

  1. On your Home page, click the domain name you need.
  2. Click Delete in the Hosting group. Confirm removal and click OK. All directories and files related to the site will be removed.
  3. Click Setup.

    Note: Refer to the Hosting Web Sites chapter for detailed instructions on setting up hosting accounts.
