How do I add a new website as an Addon domain in cPanel?

If you'd like to add a new domain to run a new website, you can do this within the "Domains" option in cPanel. Addon domains count toward your number of unique websites and can have their own unique email accounts.

To add a new website as an Addon domain in cPanel, follow these steps:

Log into your cPanel account.
In the Domains section, click on Domains.
Click Create a New Domain.
Enter the domain name in the Domain field.
Untick the Share document root to allow this domain to show a different website.
Click Submit.

Your new website will now be available as an Addon domain, and you can start uploading your website files to the corresponding directory.

Ensure that the domain is either registered or pointed to our name servers. To register a new domain, refer to this guide: How do I register a domain?

To learn more about the different types of domains, please refer to the article: What is the difference between Primary, Alias (Parked), Addon, and Subdomains?
