How to create Addon Domains cPanel Interface (Jupiter Theme)
What is an addon domain?
An addon domain is, as its name implies, an additional domain name you can add to your hosting plan (if the plan you chose has additional slots as mentioned in our specifications under each hosting plan’s information).
You can give an addon domain email addresses, forwarders, and more the same way you would to a primary (main) domain on the account.
When you create an Addon domain, under Domains:
-A folder is created in the root directory with the name of the domain name, unless you specify another path/name for the folder.
-A subdomain is created for the primary domain and attached to the new folder. Every addon domain will have a [addon].maindomain.com linked to the primary domain name, which can be used to preview websites as well.
To add an addon domain you need to log into cpanel -> click on Domains -> enter your domain at the top, and in the last field is the location of your document root.
What should you do if you want to create multiple addon domains with different extensions?
You will need to enter a unique username in the Subdomain text box manually if you want to create several addon domains with different extensions (for instance, example.net and example.com).
The maximum number of addon domains that you can make can be seen on your cPanel Statistic Sidebar.
For Resellers (WHM), you can modify this number by going to WHM > List Account > Modify Account > Max Addon Domains.
If the zones files of the registered domain are incorrect, you might receive an error, and you will be prevented from adding the domain. You can use the Zone Editor interface in cPanel by going to cPanel, clicking on Home, then Domains, and Zone Editor. The zone editor will help you to correct the zone files of your domain. If you want to make sure that your zone files are right, feel free to reach out to us.
