"Addon Domain" is the term cPanel uses to host completely different websites (with different domain names) under a single hosting account.
How to Add an Addon Domain:
-
Ensure DNS Points Here: Before adding the domain, make sure its nameservers are pointed to BurjHost, or that its A record points to your server IP.
-
Log in to your cPanel.
-
In the "Domains" section, click on "Addon Domains."
-
Fill in the Fields:
-
New Domain Name: Enter the full domain (e.g.,
mysecondsite.com). -
Subdomain/FTP Username: This auto-fills based on the domain. Leave it as is.
-
Document Root: Set the folder where this new site's files will live (e.g.,
public_html/mysecondsite). This keeps files organized.
-
-
Click "Add Domain."
Now you can upload files for mysecondsite.com into that specific folder, and it will function as an independent website.
