Adding an addon domain in cPanel allows you to host multiple domains on a single hosting account, each with its own separate content. Follow these steps to add an addon domain in cPanel:
Step-by-Step Guide:
-
Log in to your cPanel account:
- Open your web browser and navigate to your cPanel login page.
- Enter your username and password to access the cPanel dashboard.
-
Locate the Addon Domains feature:
- In the cPanel dashboard, scroll down to the "Domains" section.
- Click on the "Addon Domains" icon.
-
Create a new addon domain:
- In the "Create an Addon Domain" section, enter the new domain name in the "New Domain Name" field.
- The "Subdomain" and "Document Root" fields will auto-fill based on the domain name. You can modify these if needed.
-
Finalize the creation:
- Click the "Add Domain" button to add the addon domain.
- cPanel will create the addon domain and its corresponding directory in your home directory.
-
Upload files to the addon domain:
- After the addon domain is created, it will appear in the "Modify Addon Domain" section at the bottom of the Addon Domains page.
- The document root directory for the addon domain will be listed (e.g.,
/public_html/addondomain.com or in the user root/addondomain.com). Upload your website files to this directory. - You can use the File Manager or FTP to upload content to the addon domain’s directory.
Additional Information:
-
DNS Propagation:
- It may take some time for the addon domain to propagate across the internet. Typically, this process takes a few minutes to a few hours.
-
SSL Certificate:
- Ensure that your new addon domain is secured with an SSL certificate. You can add an SSL certificate using the "SSL/TLS" feature in cPanel.
Troubleshooting:
- If you encounter any issues while creating an addon domain, check the following:
- Ensure the domain name is valid and not already in use.
- Verify that the document root does not conflict with existing directories.
