How to add a domain or subdomain?

You can add and manage domains and subdomains from your hosting control panel, depending on the limits of your hosting plan. Subdomains are URLs that act like a domain. If your domain is yourdomain.com, a subdomain of the domain might be sub.yourdomain.com.

 

Change Nameservers


If you are adding a domain, change its nameservers so it resolves to our servers. This step is not required if you are adding a subdomain or using third-party DNS.

What are my nameservers?

 

Add a Domain or Subdomain


  1. Go to cPanel > Domains > Create a New Domain.

  2. Enter the new domain or subdomain name, e.g., yourdomain.com or sub.yourdomain.com

    *Replace yourdomain.com or sub.yourdomain.com with your actual domain.
    *Do not include the preceding [www].

  3. Uncheck the following option:

    [ ] Share document root

    Note:
    Checkmark the above option if you want the new domain or subdomain to display the same website as your primary domain.
    You can view the document roots of all domains from cPanel > Domains.
    public_html is the default document root of your primary domain.

  4. Click "Submit".

 

Third-Party DNS


If you use Cloudflare/Quic.cloud/third-party DNS, create the following DNS records on Cloudflare/Quic.cloud/third-party DNS:

Note:

Add all the DNS records if you want to create email accounts (e.g., you@yourdomain.com or you@sub.yourdoamin.com) using the newly added domain or subdomain. Otherwise, add the ones mentioned below.

If you added a domain:

A Record:
Name: yourdomain.com
Value: <server IP>

A Record:
Name: www.yourdomain.com
Value: <server IP>

*You can find the server shared IP on the right sidebar of your cPanel home.
*Replace yourdomain.com with your actual domain.

 

Or, if you added a subdomain:

A Record:
Name: sub.yourdomain.com
Value: <server IP>

A Record:
Name: www.sub.yourdomain.com
Value: <server IP>

*You can find the server shared IP on the right sidebar of your cPanel home.
*Replace sub.yourdomain.com with your actual subdomain.

 

Install SSL


The next part is to install SSL. If you are using our nameservers, SSL should be installed automatically. If it was not installed, install an SSL certificate on the newly added domain or subdomain. Once installed, it is now ready to use for your website.

Before installing SSL, you need to change your domain's nameservers to those sent in your hosting account information email or update third-party DNS as mentioned above.
