Creating an addon domain

1. Click Addon Domains under Domains in cPanel.

2. On the Create an Addon Domain screen enter the new domain name (without the www prefix) in the New Domain Name text field.

3. cPanel will auto-populate the Subdomain and Document Root text boxes.

4. If you want to create an FTP account for the new addon domain, select the Create an FTP account associated with this Addon Domain option.

cPanel will automatically populate the FTP Username text box. If you want to use a different FTP account username, manually enter the desired username. Then, enter and confirm the new password in the appropriate text boxes.

5. When ready, click Add Domain.

Uploading files to the new addon domain

When you create an addon domain in the cPanel interface, the system automatically creates a subdomain. You will need to upload your web files to this subdomain. The default directory for the new addon domain is public_html/AddonDomain.

Do not alter or delete the subdomain after you have created the addon domain as doing so may alter or delete the addon domain’s website display.
