How to add another domain or a subdomain

The same hosting account can serve more than one site. There are two different things you may want, and they are not the same:

1 Addon domain — a second, completely separate domain (anothersite.com) with its own site, in the same account.
2 Subdomain — a branch of a domain you already have (shop.yourdomain.com), no new registration needed.

Adding an addon domain

1 Register or transfer the domain first — it has to exist before it can be added.
2 In cPanel, open Domains and click Create A New Domain.
3 Type the domain. cPanel suggests a folder inside your account; accept it or choose another.
4 Point the new domain's nameservers to your hosting — see how to configure a domain's DNS. Without this the domain won't reach the account.

Creating a subdomain

1 In cPanel → Domains, click Create A New Domain and type the full name, e.g. shop.yourdomain.com.
2 cPanel recognises it as a subdomain of a domain you already have and creates it right away — no DNS change and no extra cost.
How many can I add? It depends on your plan. In cPanel, the right-hand panel shows your limits for Addon Domains and Subdomains — "unlimited" or a number. If you've hit the limit, an upgrade raises it.
Each domain has its own SSL. A newly added domain gets its free certificate automatically, but that can take a few minutes to an hour. Until then the browser may warn about the connection — it resolves on its own.

Domain added but the site doesn't open? We'll check the pointing.

DOMAIN REGISTRATION

Is the name you have in mind still free?

Type it here and find out in a second. DNS management included in the panel, renewal notices well ahead of time, and the domain registered in your name — never in ours.
