How to Create a Virtual Directory - WSP
Posted by KB Editor on 18 May 2017 01:56 PM

A virtual directory in WebsitePanel is a path that is mapped to a resource/folder on your hosting package.  If you have folder or website that is nested deep in a page tree(e.g example.com/example/of/a/really/deep/page/tree/shop), creating a virtual directory allows you to create an easy to remember URL(e.g. example.com/shop) that is mapped to the same folder.

To create a virtual directory:

  1. Log into your WebsitePanel Hosting Space(cp.domain.com or serverIP)
  2. Mouseover the Web icon and click Web Sites

  3. Click the domain name needing a Virtual Directory under Web Sites

  4. Click the Virtual Dirs tab
  5. Click Create Directory

  6. Provide the following:
    • Directory Name: Create an easy to remember name for the virtual directory
    • Folder: Choose the actual location of the directory in question
    • Click Create Directory

Please contact us via Live Support or submit a support ticket in your billing account if you run into any issues regarding Virtual Directories.
