Depending on the limits of your hosting plan, you can host up to an unlimited number of domains and websites on your hosting account.
cPanel is intuitive. If you have a look around the cPanel dashboard, you should be able to find your way around most tasks.
Step 01: Change the nameservers of your domain
Change the nameservers of your domain so it resolves to our servers.
Step 02: Add the domain to your hosting
To host an additional website, you need to add the domain:
- Go to cPanel > Domains > Create a New Domain.
- Enter the following details:
Domain:yourdomain.com
Replace [yourdomain.com] with your domain name. Do not include the preceding [www]. - Uncheck [ ] Share document root.
- Click Submit.
- Done.
Step 03: Install SSL
The next part is to install SSL. Before installing SSL, you need to change your domain's nameservers to those sent in your hosting account information email. Once the nameservers are updated:
- Go to cPanel > SSL / TLS Status > Run AutoSSL.
- Wait for the SSL installation process to complete.
- You can also install SSL from cPanel > Let's Encrypt > Issue.
Step 04: Upload or install your website
When you add a domain, cPanel will create a directory using the domain name in your home directory. In this case, the directory name is [yourdomain.com].
You can access the directory using FTP or cPanel > File Manager. You will need to upload your website files under this directory.
Note that for the primary domain [yourprimarydomain.com], the directory is [public_html].
You can install WordPress and other applications from cPanel > WordPress Manager by Softaculous. Please refer to the WordPress section of this knowledgebase for detailed instructions on how to install WordPress.
