How to Create an Addon Domain

Updated: November 27, 2023


An Addon Domain is a cPanel application that allows you to add additional domain names to your webhosting account. The number of Addon Domains that are allocated varies, depending on your webhosting plan.

Addon domains allow you to control multiple domains from a single account. An addon domain links a new domain name to a directory in your account, and then stores its files in that directory.


In this guide, we will show you how to create an Addon Domain within cPanel.



Note: Make sure you have enough allocated addon domains. You could find this information on the right panel in cPanel > Statistics

Note: If you have recently updated your domain nameservers, please be aware that it may takeup to 24-48 hours for the change to take effect. This period is called DNS propagation. It is a period of time ISP (Internet service provider) nodes across the world take to update their caches with the new DNS information of your domain.
