Connect a New Domain with Hosting

Connecting a domain to your hosting account is simple and involves just two steps:

1. Update Nameservers:
   • Update your hosting account’s nameservers in your domain settings. This directs your domain to your hosting server.
2. Add Your Domain to the Hosting Control Panel:
   • Add your domain through your hosting control panel.

Why Update Nameservers?

Updating nameservers tells the internet where to find your website’s hosting location. It ensures that when someone enters your domain name in their browser, they are directed to your hosting server.

Special Instructions for PK Domains

For PK domains (e.g., .pk or .com.pk), DNS/NS management must be done from the system core. Please open a support ticket. Our billing team will handle it for you, but it may take some time depending on the volume of tickets.

Adding domain

Type the domain name you want to add in the New Domain Name field. The other fields, such as the Subdomain and Document Root, will be automatically generated by cPanel based on the domain name you enter. If you want to use a different directory for the addon domain, you can customize that field.  

Before cPanel 106 version release

cPanel ⇒ Domains ⇒ Addon Domains

In cPanel 106 and later version release

cPanel ⇒ Domains ⇒ Domains ⇒ Create a New Domain

FTP Account ( Optional )

It is not mandatory to check the “Create an FTP account associated with this Addon Domain” option when adding an addon domain in cPanel. This option simply allows you to create a separate FTP account for the new domain, which can be useful if you want to give someone else access to the files on that domain without giving them access to your main cPanel account. If you do not need a separate FTP account for the new domain, you can leave this option unchecked. However, if you do want to create an FTP account for the new domain, make certain to enter a password in the “Password” field before clicking on the Add Domain button. Finally, You made it!
