This is perfect if you want to host different websites under one hosting package \u2014 for example, running your main site plus a blog, portfolio, or online store.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Follow these simple steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>1. Check Your Hosting Plan<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before you start, confirm that your hosting plan allows multiple websites (also called &#8220;addon domains&#8221;). You can check this in your hosting account dashboard or contact your hosting provider.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>2. Log in to cPanel<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Access your cPanel by logging in through your hosting account or going directly to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\"><code>https:\/\/yourdomain.com\/cpanel<br><\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>3. Go to the Domains Section<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once inside cPanel, look for the <strong>\u201cDomains\u201d<\/strong> section and click <strong>\u201cCreate a New Domain\u201d<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hordanso-dev.10web.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/dom-1-1024x432.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-526\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>4. Add Your New Domain<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>In the <strong>Domain<\/strong> box, type the new domain name you want to add (e.g., <code>mynewsite.com<\/code>).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Untick<\/strong> the \u201cShare document root\u201d box.\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>This ensures your new domain will have its own separate website files and won\u2019t share content with another domain.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"426\" src=\"https:\/\/hordanso-dev.10web.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/dom-2-1024x426.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-528\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hordanso-dev.10web.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/dom-2-1024x426.png 1024w, https:\/\/hordanso-dev.10web.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/dom-2-300x125.png 300w, https:\/\/hordanso-dev.10web.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/dom-2-768x320.png 768w, https:\/\/hordanso-dev.10web.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/dom-2-1536x639.png 1536w, https:\/\/hordanso-dev.10web.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/dom-2-600x250.png 600w, https:\/\/hordanso-dev.10web.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/dom-2.png 1917w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>5. Document Root<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When you untick the share option, cPanel will create a separate folder (e.g., <code>\/home\/username\/mynewsite.com\/public_html<\/code>) for your new domain\u2019s files.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>6. Enable HTTPS Redirect (Optional but Recommended)<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Switch on <strong>\u201cForce HTTPS Redirect\u201d<\/strong> so your site loads securely with SSL.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>7. Upload or Install Your Website<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can now:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Manually upload<\/strong> your website files into the new domain\u2019s folder via File Manager or FTP.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hordanso-dev.10web.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/dom-3-1024x450.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-530\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Or <strong>install WordPress<\/strong> (or another CMS) directly from cPanel.\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>If installing WordPress, make sure to set your <strong>admin username<\/strong>, <strong>password<\/strong>, and select the correct domain during installation.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hordanso-dev.10web.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/dom-4-1024x439.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-529\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>8. Done!<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Your new domain is now active and ready to use.
