Add domains/websites to cPanel hosting

You can add domain names to any type of hosting account. However, what you can do with additional domain names depends on the type of hosting account you have. For more information, see What type of hosting account do I have?

Type	Description
Secondary	Secondary domains have websites that work independently of the primary domain's hosted in separate folders. For more information, see Hosting Multiple Websites on Your Hosting Account. Available with Deluxe, Premium, Unlimited, and Ultimate accounts. While we offer unlimited secondary domains on our Deluxe, Premium, Unlimited, and Ultimate shared hosting accounts, we do not recommend using shared hosting for more than ten websites. Doing so taxes the server resources and hinders performance.
Aliases	Alias domains display the primary domain's website with a different domain name/URL. Available with all accounts.

2. Click Web Hosting.
3. Next to the cPanel account you want to use, click Manage.
4. Click cPanel Admin.

Alias

3. In the Domains section, click Aliases.
