An addon domain is a second, separate website on the same cPanel account, with its own folder, email addresses and SSL certificate. In current cPanel, open Domains > Domains, click Create A New Domain, enter the domain, untick Share document root, choose a folder such as example.net, and submit. Point the domain's DNS to your hosting first.
A simple tweak to your system’s hosts file can allow immediate access to a website without waiting for DNS propagation.
DNS resolution failures can cause serious connectivity issues on your server. If your system can’t resolve domain names, it could be due to a misconfigured /etc/resolv.conf or missing Perl modules. This guide walks you through troubleshooting steps to restore DNS functionality efficiently.
As root, run /scripts/pkgacct USERNAME /backup to package one cPanel account (files, databases, email and settings) into /backup/cpmove-USERNAME.tar.gz. Copy the file off the server. To restore it on the same or another cPanel server, put the file in /home and run /scripts/restorepkg /home/cpmove-USERNAME.tar.gz. Restoring over an existing account replaces its data, so test first.
