How to Create an Addon Domain Cpanel

From Addon Domains you can host multiple different domains with different website content, all under the same disk space and bandwidth of one CPanel.

*Note: For your addon domain to work it should have correct DNS records so make changes in the domain backend before trying to add-it as addon domain and make sure domain propagation is completed.

To create a second domain name "addon doamin" with its own website follow the steps below.

Login to your cPanel -> click Addon Domains -> under Domains. There are three fields cPanel asks for when creating an Addon Domain.

1. New Domain Name: Enter the new domain-name.com, but do not put http or www in the name.
2. Username/directory/subdomain Name: This will be the folder Cpanel creates in your public_html folder. Normally, you want to ensure the name you provide doesn't already exist as a folder in public_html, but Cpanel will automatically suggest the name and i recommend you stick with the suggestion.
   
   
3. Password: Fill in any password you want here. This password is used for an FTP account which is automatically created by Cpanel.
   
   

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