This Article Includes: Adding, Removing, Enabling & Disabling an Add On Domain & DNS Requirments.
The First Step is to log in to your cPanel Control Panel. You should be able to log in at: http://www.Your_Domain.com:2083 (where Your_Domain.com is your actual domain).
NOTE: This Feature will Only be available if you have a Multi-Domain Plan (eg; Hosting plan for multiple domains).
To add an addon domain:
– Click on the “Add On Domains” Icon Under the “Domains” Heading.
1. Enter the domain for the new addon domain into the New Domain Name field.
Note: When you enter the domain name, cPanel automatically populates the Subdomain/FTP Username field. If you are creating multiple addons with similar domain names (differing only in .com, .net, etc.), be sure to manually enter a unique username into the Subdomain/FTP Username field.
2. In the Document Root field, enter the directory that will contain the addon domain’s files.
3. Enter the password for the addon domain into the Password field.
* Make sure you use a secure password.
* You can have cPanel generate a secure password for you using the Generate Password feature.
4. Confirm the password in the Password (Again) field.
5. Click Add Domain
Note: Creating an addon domain in the cPanel interface automatically creates a subdomain. Altering or deleting the subdomain after it has been created may affect or delete the information displayed in the addon domain’s website.
6. To add files to the addon domain’s home directory, click the File Manager link.
Note: You can also access this addon domain’s home directory in the File Manager by clicking the link under Document Root.
Note: Web statistics for the addon domain will be found under the subdomain’s URL in the statistics app.
Enable or disable addon domain redirection
To disable or enable redirection of an addon domain:
1. Click the Manage Redirection link corresponding to the addon domain you wish to manage.
2. If you wish to redirect the domain, enter the link you would like to redirect the addon domain to in the available text field.
3. Click Save.
* To disable the redirect, click Disable Redirection.
Remove an addon domain
To remove an existing addon domain:
1. Click the Remove link corresponding to the addon domain you would like to remove.
2. Confirm that you would like to remove the addon domain by clicking Yes.
3. To keep the addon domain, click No.
Search addon domains
You may also search through existing domains:
1. Enter the search criteria into the Search field.
2. Click Go.
Results matching your search criteria will populate the list.
Add On Domain DNS Requirments
In order for a Add On Domain to be available by browser (eg; http://Your_Domain.com) It must have a DNS A-Record pointing it to the server. As we Run Dedicated DNS Servers THIS IS NOT a action that you can do from your Control Panel.
If You Set the Domain to Use Our Name Servers: Then we manage the DNS Records on your Domain. if you Have a VDNS Account you can add the Domain to the same IP Address as your Primary Domain Points to.
Otherwise please contact our Support Department by emailing [email protected] and simply say: “Point the Domain: Your_Domain.com to the server” (Provide the domain you added in the control panel).
If You Manage your DNS Records at Your Domain Registrar or Else Where: add A-Records Pointing the Add On Domain to the same IP Address as your Primary Domain Points to.
