Adding a Subdomain, Parked, or Addon Domain in cPanel

To add a new domain (parked, subdomain, or addon) in cPanel, open Domains and select Create A New Domain.

While entering the domain in the field, you’ll be able to determine its type.

Start by filling in the domain/subdomain name.

Subdomain

After entering just the subdomain name and placing a “dot,” cPanel will show you a suggestion with possible domains to finish it.

When choosing a subdomain, the “Share document root…” option will automatically deactivate, and a new option will appear below to change its directory.

Parked Domain

After entering the domain, leave the “Share document root…” checkbox activated and save the changes.

The domain you want to add as parked must be a registered domain name. Additionally, you need to set the correct name servers to point it to the server where it will be parked. Enter the same Name Servers that are set for the primary domain of the hosting account. The full Name Server propagation period lasts from 2 to 48 hours.

The technology for parking a domain in cPanel is done by setting ServerAlias in the web server’s configuration. In other words, parking doesn’t involve redirecting the given domain to the primary domain of the hosting account. When accessing the parked domain, the web server will respond with an HTTP status code of 200 (not 301 or 302, as with redirection).

Addon Domain

The option to add an addon domain is supported in SuperPro and SuperHosting plans.

After entering the domain, deactivate the “Share document root…” checkbox.

Additional options for configuration will be displayed.

You can change the directory for the addon domain and the system subdomain, which is created automatically (in the form domain.com.mysite.com).

It is recommended to have the addon domain’s directory located in the main home directory of the hosting account.

If the domain is in Cyrillic, enter its XN record.

  • If the domain was purchased through SuperHosting.BG, you can find its XN record in the client profile » Domains.
  • You can also use an online tool to check the XN record.

The domain you want to add as an addon must be a registered domain name. Additionally, you need to set the correct name servers to point it to the server where the addon will be hosted. Enter the same Name Servers that are set for the primary domain of the hosting account. The full Name Server propagation period lasts from 2 to 48 hours.
