Adding Multiple Domains to Your Hosting

Host multiple websites on a single hosting account using addon domains.

In cPanel

1. Go to Domains
2. Click Create A New Domain
3. Enter the new domain name
4. Optionally customize the document root
5. Click Submit

Requirements

• Your hosting plan must support addon domains (check plan limits)
• The domain's nameservers must point to your hosting server
• DNS must be propagated

File Structure

Each addon domain gets its own folder:

/home/username/
├── public_html/          ← primary domain
├── domain2.com/          ← addon domain 1
└── domain3.com/          ← addon domain 2

SSL for Addon Domains

• AutoSSL will automatically issue certificates for addon domains
• Allow up to 24 hours for AutoSSL to process new domains

In DirectAdmin

1. Go to Domain Setup
2. Click Add Another Domain
3. Enter the domain name
4. Set bandwidth and disk limits if needed

Email for Addon Domains

Each addon domain can have its own email accounts. Create them in the Email section of your control panel.

Troubleshooting

• Domain not loading: Check nameservers and DNS propagation
• SSL not working: Wait for AutoSSL or manually issue certificate
• 403 Forbidden: Check file permissions on the addon domain folder
