    Creating subdomain home folder with more than one level
  • Description

    When I create a new subdomain (eg:  test) underneath one of my add-on domains (eg:  justfriends.space), I would like the path to the home folder for the new subdomain to reflect the hierarchy of the domain.  For example, for a new subdomain - say test - residing beneath the add-on domain justfriends.space, I would like its home folder to reside within the home folder for justfriends.space, like this:

    ~/public_html/justfriends/test

    However, the standard human interface for Bluehost restricts me to creating new home folders only directly underneath ~/public_html, which would require me to create the home folder as:

    ~/public_html/test

    To get around this problem, one must use a CGI script which allows the multiple-level path.  If you are within the subdomain creation page of the standard control panel, simply edit its URL from the following:

    https://my.bluehost.com/hosting/app/#/domains/subdomains/add

    to

    https://my.bluehost.com/cgi/dm/subdomain

    This will provide you with a page which will allow you to add a subdomain with a multi-level specification for the home folder path,
