How to create an addon domain?

An add-on domain is a fully functional domain and it can be created by using your Cpanel. Add-on domain is an option that you can host multiple domains in a single hosting account. You can create email addresses, Ftp accounts and many more things exactly the same way you do for the primary domain. Every hosting package has its own limit of creating add-on domains for Websouls Shared Hosting packages you can visit on https://websouls.com/shared.html and https://websouls.com/vip.html.

There are three fields Cpanel asks for when creating an Add-on Domain.

  • New Domain Name: Enter the new domain name for example (websouls.com), but do not put http or www in the name.
  • Username/directory/sub domain Name: This will be the folder Cpanel creates in your public_html folder. Cpanel will automatically suggest the name and we recommend you stick with the suggestion.
  • Password: Fill in any password you want here. This password is used for an FTP account which is automatically created by Cpanel.
