Addon domains allow you to control multiple domains from a single account. An addon domain links a new domain name to a directory in your account, and then stores its files in that directory.
An addon domain will be viewable one of the following ways, where addon is the addon domain you are adding and example.com is the primary domain for the cPanel account:
addon.comaddon.example.comexample.com/addon
Create an addon domain
To create an addon domain, perform the following steps:
-
Enter the new addon domain’s name in the New Domain Name text box. When you enter the domain name, cPanel automatically populates the Subdomain and Document Root text boxes.
-
To create multiple addon domains with the same username and different extensions (for example,
example.comandexample.net), manually enter a unique username in the Subdomain text box. -
To choose a document root directory other than the automatically populated value, manually enter the directory name in the Document Root text box.
-
To create an FTP account for the new addon domain, select the Create an FTP account associated with this Addon Domain checkbox. When you select this checkbox, additional settings will appear:
- cPanel automatically populates the FTP Username text box. To select a different FTP account username, manually enter the desired username.
- Enter and confirm the new password in the appropriate text boxes
-
Click Add Domain.
