Ok i bought a domain from namecheap and want to add on domain to my hostgator account.

Currently i have 1 domain name bought from namecheap as well and already running on hostagator name server.

Now I already bought another domain from name cheap and during checkout already configured the dns name server to hostgators'( The same from the previous one right?)

When i choose to add on domain. under Subdomain/FTP Username
it gives me this "That is not a valid Subdomain/FTP username".The document root is fine.Is this normal? Is it because Im using an entirely new domain as compared to a subdomain? Or is my domain too long? How do i fix this?

I dont want to mess up my previous website.Am i doing it right?

Thanks a lot

Just change the username to what you want. It's probably just pre filling in the domain name as the FTP username. It will have a length limit.
