How To Add A Domain Name As An Addon Domain In Your cPanel
Login to your Cpanel: 'http://www.yourdomainname.co.za/cpanel'
- Enter your username and password of your Cpanel
- Under the "Domains" Section in your Cpanel select "Add on domain"
- Enter the domain for the new addon domain into the New Domain Name field e.g domain name.co.za (without the www.)
- Note: When you enter the domain name, cPanel automatically populates the Subdomain/FTP Username field.
- In the Document Root field, enter the directory that will contain the addon domain’s files.
- 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.
- Confirm the password in the Password (Again) field.
- 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.
- 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.
