How to Create Addon Domains in cPanel (Jupiter Theme)

An Addon Domain allows you to host additional independent domains on your existing hosting plan, each with its own document root, email accounts, and SSL certificate.

πŸ“‹ Prerequisites

  • Your hosting plan must support multiple websites (HH-20G, HH-50G, HH-128G, etc.)
  • The domain must have its nameservers pointed to HubforHost (ns1.hubforhost.com / ns2.hubforhost.com)

Step-by-Step Instructions

1

Log in to cPanel and open 'Domains'

Under the 'Domains' category, click the 'Domains' icon.

2

Click 'Create A New Domain'

Click the blue 'Create A New Domain' button at the top right.

3

Enter Your Domain Name

Type your full domain (e.g., newsite.com). Do NOT include http:// or www.

4

Configure Document Root

Uncheck 'Share document root' so your new site gets its own isolated directory (e.g., public_html/newsite.com or newsite.com).

πŸ’‘ Pro Tip: Keeping document roots isolated prevents file collisions and strengthens security between multiple sites.
5

Click Submit

cPanel will provision the VirtualHost, create the folder, and generate a free Let's Encrypt / AutoSSL certificate automatically.
