How to add new domain in cpanel

Adding a new domain in cPanel is a relatively straightforward process. Here's a step-by-step guide:

Prerequisites:

1. You have a cPanel account with a hosting provider.
2. You have a domain name registered with a registrar (e.g., GoDaddy, Namecheap, etc.).

Step 1: Log in to cPanel

1. Go to your cPanel login page and enter your username and password.
2. Click on the "Log In" button to access your cPanel dashboard.

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 information

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

Step 4: Configure DNS settings (optional)

If you want to use a custom DNS setup for your new domain, you can configure the DNS settings in the "DNS Manager" section of cPanel.

1. Click on the "DNS Manager" tab.
2. Enter the DNS settings for your new domain, such as the nameservers, MX records, and other DNS records.
3. Click the "Save" button to save the changes.

Step 5: Verify the new domain

1. Go to the "Verify Domain" section of cPanel.
2. Enter the domain name you just added and click the "Verify" button.
3. cPanel will check if the domain is properly configured and verify the domain ownership.

Step 6: Set up email accounts and other services (optional)

If you want to set up email accounts, FTP accounts, or other services for your new domain, you can do so in the corresponding sections of cPanel.

That's it! Your new domain should now be added to your cPanel account. If you encounter any issues or have questions, feel free to ask.
