cPanel: The Addon Domain Maintenance menu allows you to add addon domains to your account. An addon domain allows you to reach a subdomain when entering the name of the addon domain into a browser. This provides the ability to host additional domains from your account.

  • Login to cPanel.
  • Select Addon Domain Maintenance.
  • Fill in the name of the desired addon domain in the blank field next to New Domain Name.
  • Fill in the name of the directory to which the addon domain will point in the blank field provided: This directory will be the location for the addon domain's files, just as public_html is the location for your main domain's files.
  • Choose a password for the new addon domain, and click on 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.

! 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.

! When you create an addon domain, a subdomain will also be created on your main account that you can use while the addon name is still be processed by the DNS servers.
