How to Manage Addon Domains Print

Managing Addon Domains

Addon domains allow you to host multiple websites on a single hosting account (if your plan supports it).

Add a New Domain

1. Log into cPanel
2. Go to Domains > Addon Domains (or just Domains in newer cPanel)
3. Click Create A New Domain
4. Enter domain name (e.g., seconddomain.com)
5. Subdomain and document root auto-fill (or customize)
6. Click Add Domain or Submit

Point Domain to Hosting

Before the addon domain works, you must:

1. Point domain's nameservers to our nameservers, OR
2. Create A record pointing to your server IP
3. Wait for DNS propagation (up to 48 hours)

Accessing Addon Domain Files

Each addon domain has its own folder:

• Go to File Manager
• Navigate to /public_html/seconddomain.com (or your custom path)
• Upload website files here

Removing Addon Domains

1. Go to Domains section
2. Find the addon domain
3. Click Remove or trash icon
4. Confirm removal

Warning: Removing an addon domain also deletes all files in its directory.

Addon Domain vs Subdomain

• Addon Domain: Completely separate domain (e.g., secondsite.com)
• Subdomain: Section of existing domain (e.g., blog.firstsite.com)
