Note:
If you are adding an addon domain, you can use a current subdomain by
pointing the document root home to the same directory as the subdomain
is located in.

Creating
Addon Domains

1. Enter the domain name you want to use
for the Addon Domain in the "New Domain Name" text box.

2. When you place the cursor in the "Subdomain/Ftp
Username" text box, cPanel automatically fills in the username and
"Document Root home" text boxes for you. You can modify these
to your specific needs, but generally the default entries created by the
system will work.

3. Enter any password you choose in the
"Password" text box. The password can be anything and does not
have to already exist.

4. Click on the "Add Domain!"
button.

Notice:
It may take a few minutes for the system to create your Addon Domain.
Please be patient and do not click on any buttons while the system is
working.

5. The next page will state "ADDON_DOMAIN
has been created!" The page will also display a link to the File
Manager for you to manage the files for your new Addon Domain. Or you can click on the "Go Back"
button to view your Addon Domain information (Proceed to Step 6 below
to learn more).

6. When the page loads, you will see a
table with your newly created Addon Domain containing the following information,
split into five columns:

• Addon
  Domains - This entry will be the Addon Domain name you chose in
  Step 1 above.
• Document
  Root - This entry will be the "Document Root" path created
  in Step 2 above.
• Username
  - This entry will be the password you entered in Step 3 above.
• Redirection
  - If you have setup a redirection on the Addon Domain you are viewing,
  the "Redirection" column will state "redirected to PATH
  YOU ENTERED."
• Actions
  - You have two choices:
  Manage
  Redirection - Click on this option to manage the redirection for the
  Addon Domain.
  Remove
  - Click on this option to remove the Addon Domain from the system completely.
