Add new domain on cpanel

Here's a step-by-step guide on how to add a new domain on cPanel:

Prerequisites:

  1. You have a cPanel account with a hosting provider.
  2. You have a domain name that you want to add to your cPanel account.

Step 1: Log in to cPanel

  1. Go to your cPanel account by typing your domain name followed by /cpanel (e.g., example.com/cpanel).
  2. Enter your cPanel login credentials (username and password) and click "Log in".

Step 2: Navigate to the Domains section

  1. In the cPanel dashboard, click on the "Domains" tab located in the "Domains" category.
  2. Click on the "Add Domain" button.

Step 3: Enter the new domain details

  1. In the "Add Domain" page, enter the following information:
    • Domain: Enter the new domain name you want to add (e.g., newdomain.com).
    • Subdomain: Leave this field blank unless you want to create a subdomain (e.g., sub.newdomain.com).
    • Document Root: This field will automatically populate with the correct document root directory for your new domain.
  2. Click the "Add Domain" button.

Step 4: Configure the new domain

  1. After adding the new domain, you'll be taken to the "Domain Manager" page.
  2. Click on the "Assign IP Address" button to assign an IP address to your new domain.
  3. Choose an IP address from the list or select "Use a different IP address" to assign a specific IP address.
  4. Click "Assign" to assign the IP address to your new domain.

Step 5: Set up DNS records (optional)

  1. If you want to set up custom DNS records for your new domain, click on the "DNS Manager" tab.
  2. Create the necessary DNS records (e.g., A, CNAME, MX) for your new domain.
  3. Click "Save" to save the changes.

Step 6: Verify the new domain

  1. Go to your new domain in a web browser to verify that it's working correctly.
  2. If you encounter any issues, check the cPanel error logs or contact your hosting provider for assistance.

That's it! Your new domain should now be added to your cPanel account and ready for use.
