The subscription allows adding unlimited domains, all using the same directory structure. New: each domain requires its own directory, which cannot be /httpdocs. Different directories have specific functions: "bin" for internal files, "cert" for SSL certificates, "cgi-bin" for Perl/CGI scripts, "conf" for configurations, "error_docs" for error pages, "httpdocs" as the main directory for web files, "statistics" and "logs" for log and statistics data, as well as "pd" and "web_users" for password protection and FTP accounts.
Unlimited additional domains can be added to a subscription. All domains share the same directory structure.
New: All domains in a subscription require their own directory. When creating a new domain, a directory other than /httpdocs must be specified.
