How do I host another domain on my account?

Add it in cPanel under Domains. It gets its own folder and works as a separate website, as long as your plan allows more than one site.

  1. Point the new domain to Tremhost first: see How do I point my domain to Tremhost?
  2. In cPanel, open Domains → Domains and click Create A New Domain.
  3. Type the domain name.
  4. Untick Share document root so the domain gets its own folder (for example public_html/newdomain.com), unless you want it to show the same site as your main domain.
  5. Click Submit, then upload the site into that folder or install WordPress on the new domain.

Domains, subdomains and aliases

  • Another domain (once called an addon domain): a separate website on the same hosting account.
  • Subdomain: a part of your domain, such as shop.yourdomain.com, with its own folder. Created the same way.
  • Alias (once called a parked domain): a second name that shows the same website as your main domain. Add it under Domains → Aliases.
