Add addon domain in cPanel."},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Setting up a subdomain or addon domain in cPanel is something just about every website owner, blogger, or developer runs into at some point. Maybe you want to launch a new blog, test out some software, build a client portal, or just run a bunch of different sites from a single hosting account. Good news: cPanel makes it pretty painless\u2014even if you\u2019re new to all this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here\u2019s how you do it, step by step. I\u2019m keeping it straightforward and easy to follow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">First off, what\u2019s cPanel?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"How to create unlimited free subdomain in cPanel | Add domain in cPanel | Linkupnepal\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/NbcD1xovX4g?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s pretty much the go-to control panel for web hosting. You get a simple dashboard where you can manage domains, files, email, databases, security settings, you name it. Most shared and VPS hosting plans come with it, just because it works and people like it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Subdomains vs. Addon Domains\u2014What\u2019s the Difference?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before you dive in, you should know what you\u2019re setting up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A subdomain is like a mini-site or a separate section that lives under your main domain. You\u2019ve probably seen stuff like blog.yourdomain.com or shop.yourdomain.com\u2014those are subdomains. People use them for things like blogs, support centers, testing sites, or special apps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An addon domain, on the other hand, is a whole different website that you host under the same cPanel account. So, your main domain might be yourdomain.com, and your addon domain could be anotherwebsite.com. Each gets its own folder and works like a standalone site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Why bother with subdomains or addon domains? Well, maybe you want to host multiple sites without paying for extra hosting, set up a dev or staging area, separate your services, or just keep things organized. Lots of good reasons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Alright, let\u2019s get into the actual steps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">How to Add a Subdomain in cPanel<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">1. Log in to cPanel<br>Open your browser and head to your cPanel login. Usually, that\u2019s yourdomain.com\/cpanel, or you might have a direct link from your host, something like https:\/\/server-ip:2083. Pop in your username and password, and you\u2019re in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">2. Find the \u201cDomains\u201d Section<br>Once you\u2019re on the dashboard, look for \u201cDomains.\u201d Depending on your cPanel version, you might also see \u201cSubdomains\u201d or \u201cAddon Domains,\u201d but the newest versions roll it all into \u201cDomains.\u201d Click that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">3. Enter Your Subdomain Details<br>Hit the option to create a new domain or subdomain. Type the name you want\u2014like \u201cblog\u201d if you\u2019re making blog.yourdomain.com\u2014and pick your main domain from the dropdown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You\u2019ll also see \u201cDocument Root.\u201d This is just the folder where your subdomain\u2019s files go. cPanel usually suggests something like \/public_html\/blog. You can leave it as is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">4. Click \u201cCreate\u201d<br>Once everything looks right, click Create (or whatever the button says). cPanel handles the rest\u2014sets up the subdomain, makes the folder, takes care of DNS. Easy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">5. Check for Confirmation<br>You\u2019ll get a message saying your subdomain\u2019s been created, along with the full address and the document root folder. That\u2019s your green light.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">6. Upload Your Files<br>To actually use the subdomain, you need to upload something to it. Open cPanel\u2019s File Manager, or use FTP, or install something like WordPress\u2014whatever works for you. Just make sure there\u2019s an index.html or index.php in your subdomain\u2019s folder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">7. Test it Out<br>Now, open your browser and go to your new subdomain (like https:\/\/blog.yourdomain.com). If DNS has finished updating and your files are there, it should load up just fine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">How to Add an Addon Domain (If You Want)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Adding an addon domain works almost the same way:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Go to Domains in cPanel.<br>Click \u201cCreate a New Domain.\u201d<br>Enter the full domain (like example2.com).<br>Pick the document root.<br>Click Create.<br>You\u2019ll need to make sure your new domain\u2019s nameservers point to your host, but that\u2019s it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And that\u2019s the whole process. Not too hard, right?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Setting up a subdomain or addon domain in cPanel is something just about every website owner, blogger, or developer runs into at some point.
