How to create an Addon Domain
cPanel gives you the ability to host unlimited domains under your shared plan. You can host different sites with different content under the amount of disk space and bandwidth allocated to you. To create an addon domain, please do the following:
- Before you add an addon domain, Please make sure the “Name servers” for the addon domain is already pointing at you primary name servers and is propagated. Cpanel will not allow you to add the domain name unless the domain name is pointing to your server.
- Click Addon domains
- In the box to the right of “New Domain Name:” input the domain name for which you would like to add to your account. Please do not input “http://” or “www”.
- In the box to the right of “User name/directory/sub domain Name:” provide a name for a folder which will be placed inside your public_html directory. What you place in the box will create a folder for you to upload your website files to the addon domain.
- In the box to the right of “Password:” Please provide a password for which you will use FTP to the folder which is created for the addon domain.
- Click Add Domain
You domain is now successfully added. If you open up a browser and type the new domain name in the address bar you will see a skeleton of your new domain. You can upload the website files to the folder which was created in the public_html of the primary domain or you may connect via FTP directly to that folder.
