How do I set up an addon domain?
There are three fields cPanel asks for when creating an addon domain. 1. “New Domain Name:” You will put in the newdomain.com do not put www in the name! 2. “Username/directory/subdomain Name:” This will be the folder cPanel creates in your main accounts ftp. MAKE SURE that the name you give it doesn’t already have a folder. Example… If you want to give it the username Brian. You cannot have a folder in your account named Brian already. If you do and still try creating the username for the addon domain to be brian you will mess a lot of things up!!! 3. “Password:” fill in any password you want here.
