To add an addon domain in the DirectAdmin control panel, you can follow these steps:
Step 1: Log in to your DirectAdmin control panel using your username and password.
Step 2: Once logged in, navigate to the "Domain Management" section. The location may vary depending on your DirectAdmin panel version and theme. Look for options like "Domain Setup," "Domain Administration," or "Domains."
Step 3: Click on the "Add Domain" or "Add New Domain" button. This will take you to the addon domain creation page.
Step 4: On the addon domain creation page, you'll need to provide the following information:
Domain: Enter the domain name for your addon domain. For example, if your domain is "example.com," you can enter "addon.example.com" or any other subdomain you want to use.
Username: Specify the username for the addon domain. This will be the username for FTP and other services associated with the addon domain. You can either use the existing username or create a new one.
Password: Set a password for the addon domain's username. Make sure to use a strong and secure password.
Document Root: Define the document root for the addon domain. This is the directory where the files for the addon domain will be stored. You can either choose an existing directory or create a new one.
IP: Select the IP address for the addon domain. If you have multiple IP addresses assigned to your account, choose the appropriate one. Otherwise, leave it as the default option.
Step 5: Once you have entered the required information, click on the "Add" or "Create" button to add the addon domain.
Step 6: The DirectAdmin control panel will confirm the successful creation of the addon domain and display it in the list of existing domains.
That's it! You have now added an addon domain in the DirectAdmin control panel. You can upload your website files to the specified document root directory and configure DNS settings accordingly. Remember to point the addon domain's DNS records to the correct IP address or name servers for it to function properly.
