I have a add-on site that is in the home/$user account that was having some problems (slow). The site is built with WordPress and hosted at GoDaddy on a Linux/cPanel account. When I called the GD tech support to ask why it might be sluggish, the tech guy said it was because it was not in the public_html folder.
I am not sure that is true.
Should I move it and how?
I tried a couple of ways but it didn't work out well.
1: I manually tried creating a folder in the public_html folder, copied the files over, disabled the plugins etc, added to "public_html" to where it was needed, made the change at "Modify Addon Domain" but I nothing but problems with errors and missing pages and on and on. It seems the server would just stop copying files files or wouldn't pack everything and on and on... I just gave up on that approach.
2: I created a sub-domain (in the public_html directory) and cloned (via Installatron) the files into that directory and then modified where it pointed in "Modify Addon Domain" but I ended up with showing the subdomain name in the url when I went to the website. No problems with the files using that approach but the subdomain shows up in the url.
I think the server is just on the wimpy side myself.
Should I even bother trying to move it in the public_html directory?
