Adding an addon domain
How to host a second domain on the same hosting account with its own folder and site.
An addon domain lets several different domains use the same hosting account, each with its own folder and site. How many domains you can add depends on your plan.
- Log in to cPanel and in the Domains section open Domains.
- Click Create A New Domain.
- In the Domain field enter the new domain name (e.g.
seconddomain.com). - Untick Share document root if you want the domain to have a separate folder. You can keep the suggested folder or change it.
- Click Submit.
After that, put files or an application in the folder you chose, just as for the main domain: public_html folder structure.
Pointing the new domain#
The domain must point to ScyHost, otherwise the site will not open. Follow Point your domain to ScyHost. If the domain is registered with us, this is already done.
If you get a message that the domain is already added or that a limit has been reached, open a ticket.
