Want a second website, a shop.yourdomain.ae, or another domain showing the same site? You do it all from cPanel’s Domains page. First, check your plan allows it.
How many websites your plan allows
| Plan | Websites | Subdomains |
|---|---|---|
| Single Site | 1 | Unlimited |
| Multi Site | 3 | Unlimited |
| Ultimate | Unlimited | Unlimited |
Need more websites? Upgrade from the client area: open your hosting plan and choose Upgrade/Downgrade.
Before you add it
For a separate domain, it needs to point to your hosting: either use your hosting nameservers or add an A record. See Where to edit your DNS. Subdomains of your main domain work straight away.
Add it in cPanel
- Open Domains
In cPanel, open Domains. You’ll see the domains on your hosting.
The Domains page in cPanel - Create a new domain
Click Create A New Domain and type the domain (for example
example.ae) or a subdomain (for exampleshop.pearlbaystudio.ae).
Create a New Domain - Choose: same website or a separate one
Leave Share document root ticked if the new domain should show your main website. Untick it to give it its own folder and its own website.
- Submit
Click Submit. Your new domain or subdomain appears in the list.
Common questions
I get an error saying I’ve reached my limit.
Your plan doesn’t allow another website. Upgrade to Multi Site or Ultimate, or add it as a subdomain instead.
Can the new domain have its own email?
Yes. Once it’s added, create mailboxes for it in cPanel under Email Accounts.
My new domain shows the wrong website.
Check whether Share document root was ticked. If it was, it shows your main site. Ask us if you need it changed.
