How to Add an Additional Domain or Subdomain
Updated 2 months ago
To add an additional domain or subdomain to a hosting account, go to cPanel and select “Domains.” The domain must be registered and pointed to our DNS servers.
Once you’re in the domain manager for your hosting account, you can click the “Create A New Domain” button.
If you want the new domain to access the same website as the primary domain, leave the “Share document root” option checked (this shares the same root directory).
This is useful, for example, when adding another domain extension but wanting it to display the content of the primary domain.If you want the new domain to be independent of the primary domain in your hosting plan, uncheck the “Share document root” option and fill in the following:
New Domain Name: Enter your new domain here without www at the beginning (e.g., duplika.com).
Subdomain: We recommend leaving the default subdomain, but you can choose whichever you prefer.
Document Root: We also recommend letting cPanel fill in this field by default to keep your files outside of public_html (the location where your primary domain’s content is stored).
Click the blue “Submit” button, and you’re done.
The domain must use our DNS servers to work correctly.
