If you are planning to purchase more than one domain name, I suggest you purchase web hosting with addon feature, then you hosted these domain names into one web hosting with addon feature, it actually save some cost of web hosting.

What is Addon Domain?

An addon domain allows you to reach a subdomain when entering the name of the addon domain into a browser. This means that you can host additional domains from your account, if allowed by your hosting provider. Addon Domains are relative to your account’s home directory.

How to Add Addon Domain?

1. The additional domain name(s) need to point to corresponding DNS as your main domain.
2. Once you have completed the above, you should be able to add the add-on domain.

a. Please login to your account (cPanel Account)
b. Please go to “add-on domain” section of the site.
c. There you will be able to complete the addition of your extra domain.

Once the domain is added, you should be able to see a folder with the name of your domain (e.g. if your domain is xyz.com your folder name is going to be xyz, unless you change your folder name).

What is label Wrong Counting for Blogspot?

This is only the problem sometimes will happen if you are using blogspot. For example, your blogspot label showed 5 posts under label name “Internet”, in fact there are only 3 posts under this label.

Let say you remove all the posts (there are only 3 as per example above) under label “Internet”, you will notice that it will still showing label “Internet” and the label count is 2, but actually there is no more posts are under this label anymore.

Write Email to Google, No Response! No Solution from Blogger Help Group.

According to my experience, I have write email to Google and asked for help, unfortunately they only feedback to me they will looks into this matter as soon as possible, but end up I have never received their reply until today.

Then I go to Blogger Help Group to get the help from blogger, actually many of them cannot solve their problem. I have read many discussions from Blogger Help Group to find out the solution and finally I fed up because no one can help me as well as other bloggers.

How to Solve the label Wrong Counting for Blogspot?

I remembered last time I have decided to change my blogspot template (not the existing template provided by Blogger, this template is designed by someone else), after I change the template, I’m quite surprised because no more label wrong counting on my blog. That’s all, it is so simple.

2. Go to “Template”
3. Click “Edit HTML”
4. Tick the “Expand Widget Template”

If you have never set your preferred domain to either with www or without www, then it might cause problems with search engine indexation, search engines might split your backlink count. The following methods showed you how to redirect a web page:-

1) Set a 301 Redirect

The best way to solve this problem is to set a 301 redirect, but I have never tried before as I have little confused about the coding of 301 redirect.

2) Install Enforce www. Preference Plug-in

Install and active the Enforce www. Preference plug-in, it will redirect your URL to http://www.domain.com when we enter http://domain.com.

3) Use Google Sitemap to Set Preferred Domain

Login Google Sitemap, under tools > set preferred domain. There are 3 options for you to choose as below, select one of them as you wish.

Option 1: Display URLs as www.blogging-secret.com (for both www.blogging-secret.com and blogging-secret.com)
Option 2: Display URLs as blogging-secret.com (for both www.blogging-secret.com and blogging-secret.com)
Option 3: Don’t set an association.

4) Configure Through Wordpress 2.3 and above

I’m using this method now. Login your Wordpress (http://www.domain.com/wp-admin), click on “Option” tab, and then choose “General” option, you will see Wordpress address (URL) and Blog Address (URL).

Just change it to http://www.domain.com if you want your domain name appear http://www.domain.com when we enter http://domain.com, vice-versa.
