I have several domains as ad-ons to my main site hosted here.
I'd like to give access to a user to just one of the domains.
I looked around but I'm at loss as how to do this.
I set the user up, but they have access to all the domains.
I just want him to have access to the one I choose.
Any help would be apprciated.
Thanks in advance.

With a hosting account, there's only one control panel... whoever has access to that has access to all the domains in the account.

With a reseller account, you can isolate domains to their own login, each with their own control panel.

Thanks for the quick reply but, that's not what I wanted to hear. :(

I guess what I need is a "mini-reseller" account.
I'm cheap and don't want to pay $14.95/month.
I just don't need the space or bandwidth of the regular reseller account.
Nor do I want to pay that much.
What are the chances of getting a mini-reseller account as a hosting option?

Thanks,
Jim

Are you wanting to give him access to functions in the control panel or just FTP access to update his web site when needed/wanted?

Thanks,

Nick,

just ftp access so he can update the one specific website.

What do I have to do to make this happen?

Thanks,
Jim

Login to the DA control panel
Go to FTP Management
Create FTP Account
Make an username/pw (Notice he will have to login using LOGIN@DOMAIN.com)
Then you can custom what directory

/home/YOURMAINUSERNAME/domains/DOMAINNAME.com/public_html

That should work.

Thanks,
Nick
