best way to add a website for smugmug?

mthibodeau

I use smugmug right now for one of my websites - I have a custom domain through godaddy.com, but all the content is on smugmug and I use smugmug for editing it, etc. I remember signing up with godaddy to get the custom domain after I started using smugmug.

Now I just acquired a new domain through godaddy to expand my business to another region. I'd like the website to also use smugmug (maybe even the site I've already built for my photos, if that's possible/allowed). I'm not quite sure how to do it in reverse, though -- is there a way to link my smugmug to two different domains?
Does my question even make sense?

Thanks!

You can only have one custom domain for a smugmug account. So if you want two different domains, each with different content you will need two smugmug accounts.

To connect your new domain to a new smugmug account, set up the smug account, then follow the instructions on this help page - http://help.smugmug.com/customer/portal/articles/93340-how-do-i-use-my-custom-domain-.

Further to this question is it possible to replace an existing domain name with a new one using the same Smug site?

Yes, you can change your domain name. See the instructions I referenced above.

I might be way off track here for what you need, but if you want to use your existing Smugmug site with your original GoDaddy Domain for your new 'region' you could just forward your new Domain name to point to your original domain (available to do in the GoDaddy settings).

My actual domain is http://www.kingswoodphotography.co.uk and I acquired a new .photos domain when they were released and now have http://kwp.photos forwarded to my original domain name, so both domains go to my Smugmug site.

Again, i'm not sure if this would suit your needs, but hope it helps.

Thanks for the info. I did end up doing what Robin did -- adding a forwarding bit to my new url so it points to my original website, which is hosted by smugmug. That at least handles the fact that I don't want to rebuild my whole site.
