How to Create Addon Domains

Addon domains make it possible to host multiple domains with different contents, all using the same disk space and bandwidth of your cPanel.

  Creating an Addon Domain:

     1. Log in to your cPanel.

     2. Click on the Addon Domains icon under Domains.

     3. Enter the New Domain Name. Do not include HTTP or www in the name.

     4. Enter the Directory/FTP Username/subdomain Name. This is the folder that cPanel will craete, located in the public_html folder. Ensure that the name you provide does not already exist as a folder.

     5. Enter a Password. This is used to access an FTP account that cPanel automatically creates.

     6. Click on Add Domain.

Your new domain is added. You can now upload your website files to the specific addon folder created in the public_html folder.

Warning: Your new domain name will not display your site until you set that domain's name servers.
