How to create a Addon Domains

The Addon domains feature allows you to run several websites from a single account. The main difference between Addon domains and Parked domains is that these don't have to be pointed at the root of the domain.

You can have a domain called myhostingaccount.com and then point domains at folders within the account. e.g: mysecondwebsite.com could be pointed at myhostingaccount.com/site2/   Anyone who enters mysecondwebsite.com into a browser will never know it is being hosted within another account, it will appear as it has its own web hosting account.

Through the Addon Domains feature, you can add addon domains to your account. An addon domain allows you to reach a domain when entering the name of the addon domain into a browser. This means that you can host additional domains in your account.


 Step 1: To access the Addon Domains tool, click on the corresponding icon located on the main screen of your cPanel interface.


  Step 2: Enter the name of the addon domain in the blank field next to New Domain Name.

 Step 3: Enter the name of the directory which contains the subdomain that the addon domain will point to in the blank field next to Subdomain/FTP Username: (This directory will be the location for the addon domain's files, just as public_html is the location for your primary domain's files.)

Click on the box and after fill up the details click Add Domain

You can upload files directly to this addon domain using the username and password for the addon domain to log in through FTP.

***Before addon a domain you need to point that domain with the hosting's nameserver in which you are adding that domain

Addon domains will need to be registered with a valid domain name registrar before they can be added. Make sure that your account has the ability to use Addon domains before attempting to add one.

Please note that Addon slots price does not include the domain name itself. If you need domain names, please order them separately from your Customer area.
