Manage Virtual Hosts
The “Manage Virtual Hosts” option is the area where users can add, delete, rename and disable additional domains (virtual hosts) on an account. The top menu will allow the addition of Virtual Hosts and Mirrors, as well as the Search feature that is useful for accounts with more than 15 domains. The default display on this page (Figure 7-26 below) is 15 domains at a time, listed alphabetically.

Add Mirror
A Mirror or Mirror Domain is a domain name that “mirrors” another site currently hosted. This is treated as a virtual host, and counts towards the quota of additional domains allowed on your account.
Why would I need to know this? The ability to add and remove Mirror domains is best used for search engine placement. An example of this would be mydomain.com, and mydomain.net. If the user already has the domain mydomain.com as an existing website, the domain mydomain.net can be added as a mirror of the site mydomain.com. To create a Mirror, the user will always need the existing site, and the new domain that should mirror the existing site.
To add the mirror, enter the new domain name in the “Domain Name” section and then select the pre-existing domain name to mirror the new domain to. Figure 7-27 below shows an example of what the user will see.
