Web Hosting: Add Domain in cPanel (Addon Domains)

Modified on Tue, 16 Apr at 5:35 AM

Your "Primary Domain" will already be setup in cPanel, but you can add additional domains in cPanel by creating them as "addon domains".

Note: In addition to adding the domain in cPanel (which is this article), in order for the changes made to the website and/or email in cPanel to take effect for the live domain, you will also need to point the domain to the mywebhostingaccount.com servers. (See HelpDesk article: Point Domain(s) to New Web Hosting).

To create an addon domain, do the following:

Login to cPanel in a web browser
In the search bar at the top, type "addon", then click on "Addon Domains".

Here you can view / modify existing Addon domains, or create a new Addon domain
To create a new Addon domain, type the domain in the "New Domain Name" text field
click on the "Subdomain" field to automatically fill in the text for the subdomain and document root, based on the domain name you already typed in.
Click "Add Domain"
