Create an Addon Domain Print

An addon domain allows a new domain name to link to a subdirectory of your account. The addon domain’s files will be stored in a subdirectory of your public_html folder. Creating an addon domain gives you the ability to control multiple domains from a single account.

To add an addon domain:

1. Enter the domain for the new addon domain into the New Domain Name field.
2. Enter the main FTP username for the addon domain in the Subdomain/Ftp Username field.
3. In the Document Root field, enter the directory that will contain the addon domain’s files.
4. Enter the password for the addon domain into the Passwordfield. 
   • Make sure you use a secure password.
   • You can have cPanel generate a secure password for you using the Generate Password feature.
5. Confirm the password in the Password (Again) field.
6. Click Add Domain
7. To add files to the addon domain’s home directory, click the File Managerlink. 
   • Note: You can also access this addon domain’s home directory in the File Manager by clicking the link under Document Root.
