In this article I discuss cPanel addon domain management and what you need to do to prevent your website being accessible by multiple different domain names when you run more than one site using cPanel (known as add-on domains). You don’t want a site to be accessible by multiple different domain names as you’ll suffer a duplicate content penalty in search engine listings. Continue reading

Posts Give 404 and Page 2 Not Found in WordPress
In and earlier article I discussed a problem I was having with WordPress where links for all posts and pages would result in 404 errors.
