To be able to use a domain name with your hosting account you first need to add it to the account. You have two options for adding the domain name, Addon domains and Alias, we recommend you use Addon Domains.
Addon Domains
Using Addon Domains is the preferred option when adding domain names to your hosting account.
- Login to your cPanel account.
- Click on
Addon Domains
. - Under
Create an Addon Domain
you need to fill out the required information.- New Domain Name: Type your domain name without http and www.
- Subdomain: This field doesn’t matter to you as the end user, it’s something that cPanel uses internally. We recommend you put the domain name here,
that way it will always be unique. - Document Root: Here you choose in which directory on the server the files for the website will be located. You can choose freely which directory you want, if the directory doesn’t exist it will be created. You can also change this option later if you need to.
