How to Create a New Domain?
To create a new domain, click Create a New Domain. A new interface will appear. It displays the domain creation settings:
Select the type of domain that you wish to create. You can select from the following two types of domains:
Create a registered domain
To create a registered domain, perform the following steps:
Select Registered Domain.
- To create a new domain, enter the new domain name. For example, example.com .
- To create a subdomain , enter a new name followed by a period (.) and then the website’s domain. For example, enter subdomain.example.com to create a subdomain of example.com .
Optionally, you can specify the directory where you want to store the domain’s files (the domain’s document root ). To create this directory, deselect the Share document root with “ example.com ” checkbox, where example.com represents your Main Domain. You cannot create a document root outside of the public_html/ directory. This will create an addon domain. You cannot use the following directories for your domain’s files:
- The account’s home directory itself (/)
- Directories outside of the account’s home directory (./ and ../)
- .cpanel
- .trash
- etc
- ssl
- tmp
- logs
- .cphorde
- .spamassassin
- .htpasswds
- var
- cgi-bin
- .ssh
- perl5
- Click Submit or click Submit and Create Another.
Note:
This setting only appears if your hosting provider enables it.
The interface automatically populates the remaining text boxes, and we recommend that you use these values. However, you can enter different values in the Document Root (File System Location) and Subdomain text boxes if you want.
Note:
Visitors cannot view your subdomain immediately. Changes to DNS records may require two days or more to reach each nameserver on the internet.
Create a temporary domain
To create a temporary domain, perform the following steps:
Select Temporary Domain.
Click Submit or click Submit and Create Another.
