Adding Addon Domains
Overview
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 means that you can host additional domains from your account, if
allowed by your hosting provider.
Steps
1 To
access the Addon Domain Maintenance menu,
click on the icon above the words Addon Domains on the main screen of your cPanel interface.
2 Enter
the name of the addon domain in the blank field next to New
Domain Name:
3 Enter
the name of the directory which conatins the subdomain that the addon
domain will point to in the blank field next to Username/directory/subdomain
Name: (This directory will be the location for the addon
domain's files, just as public_html is the location for your domain's
files.)
4 Type
in the password for the new addon domain, and click on Add
Domain!
NOTE: You can upload files directly to this addon domain
using the username and password for the addon domain to log in through
ftp.
Troubleshooting
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.
