How To Create an addon domain

To create an addon domain, perform the following steps:

1 – Open cPanel (yourdomain/cpanel).
2 – Click on (Addon Domains) from Domains section.
3 – Enter the new addon domain’s name in the New Domain Name text box. When you enter the domain name, cPanel automatically populates the Subdomain and Document Root text boxes.
4 – To create multiple addon domains with the same username and different extensions (for example, example.com and example.net ), manually enter a unique username in the Subdomain text box.
5 – To choose a document root other than the automatically populated value, manually enter the directory name in the Document Root text box.
6 – To create an FTP account for the new addon domain, select the Create an FTP account associated with this Addon Domain checkbox.
If you select this checkbox, additional settings will appear:
• cPanel automatically populates the FTP Username text box. To select a different FTP account username, manually enter the desired username.
• Enter and confirm the new password in the appropriate text boxes.
7 – Click Add Domain.
