Steps

1. Select the type of redirect you want to create from the drop down menu. You have two choices:
   • Temporary – Temporary redirects will not update the visitor’s bookmarks.
   • Permanent – A permanent redirect will notify the visitor’s browser to update any bookmarks that are linked to the page that is being redirected.
2. There will be two empty text boxes on the page. The first text box is following the root path of your current domain. Enter the path to the file you want to redirect in the first empty text box.

EXAMPLE: http://DomainA.com/Sales.HTML (Just enter Sales.HTML or the directory and filename you are redirecting.)

Enter the domain name and path or url you want your visitor to be redirected to in the second empty text box.

NOTE: http://DomainB.Com/Order.HTML (Just enter the domain name and directory/filename of the new location.)

1. Click on the Add button.
2. A confirmation page will display the redirection you have created.
3. Click on the Go Back link.
4. When the page loads, you will see a table with your newly created redirects containing the following information, split into four columns:
   • Directory – This entry will be the location of the file you are redirecting.
   • Redirect URL – This entry will be the new location you are redirecting the visitor.
   • Type – This entry will be the type you chose in Step 1 above.
   • Remove – Click on the X icon to remove the Redirect. When the next page loads, click on the Yes button to remove the Redirect. A confirmation page will display “YOUR_REDIRECTED_PATH has been successfully removed.”

Creating A New Parked Domain

Steps

1. Enter the domain name you want to “point” or “park” to the web hosting account you are currently managing with cPanel in the text box provided.
   • Example: DomainB.com
2. Click on the Add Domain! button.

NOTE: Domains you “point” or “park” to the web hosting account you are currently managing MUST be registered with a valid registrar before they can be used. In addition, you need to point your domains to the DNS servers you are currently using for DomainA.com. Changing DNS server entries are accomplished by using your registrar’s control panel. They cannot be modified using the cPanel interface.

1. The next page will state “The parked domain DOMAIN_YOU_ARE_PARKING has been successfully created for you”.
2. Click on the Go Back button.
3. When the page loads, you will see a table with your newly created Parked Domain containing the following information, split into three columns:
   • Domain – This entry will be the Parked Domain you created in Step 1 above.
   • Domain Root – This entry will be the path to the Parked Domain. The system will automatically default the path to home/public_html.
   • Remove – Click on the X icon to remove the Parked Domain. When the next page loads, click on the Yes button to remove the Parked Domain. A confirmation page will display “The parked domain YOUR_PARKED_DOMAIN has been successfully removed.”

NOTE: If you are adding an addon domain, you can use a current subdomain by pointing the document root home to the same directory as the subdomain is located in.

Creating Addon Domains

Steps

1. Enter the domain name you want to use for the Addon Domain in the “New Domain Name” text box.
2. When you place the cursor in the “Subdomain/Ftp Username” text box, cPanel automatically fills in the username and “Document Root home” text boxes for you. You can modify these to your specific needs, but generally the default entries created by the system will work.
3. Enter any password you choose in the “Password” text box. The password can be anything and does not have to already exist.
4. Click on the Add Domain! button.

NOTE: It may take a few minutes for the system to create your Addon Domain. Please be patient and do not click on any buttons while the system is working.

1. The next page will state “ADDON_DOMAIN has been created!” The page will also display a link to the File Manager for you to manage the files for your new Addon Domain. To learn more about the File Manager, read the Using The File Managerdocument. Or you can click on the Go Back button to view your Addon Domain information (Proceed to Step 6 below to learn more).
2. When the page loads, you will see a table with your newly created Addon Domain containing the following information, split into five columns:
   • Addon Domains – This entry will be the Addon Domain name you chose in Step 1 above.
   • Document Root – This entry will be the “Document Root” path created in Step 2 above.
   • Username – This entry will be the password you entered in Step 3 above.
   • Redirection – If you have setup a redirection on the Addon Domain you are viewing, the “Redirection” column will state “redirected to PATH YOU ENTERED.” To learn how to setup redirection on your Addon Domain, view the Manage (Setup) Addon Domain Redirection document.
   • Actions – You have two choices:
     • Manage Redirection – Click on this option to manage the redirection for the Addon Domain.
     • Remove – Click on this option to remove the Addon Domain from the system completely.

Further Discussion

You will be able to FTP or upload/download files directly to the location of your Addon Domain file set by using the username and password combination you created in Steps 2 and 3 above.

EXAMPLE: support.cpx3demo.com

Consider a subdomain a url for any area on your web site. You can create the prefix as any name you want based on your own personal preferences.

Creating A Subdomain

Steps

1. Enter the prefix you want to use for the subdomain in the “Subdomain” text box. Based on our example above (support.cpx3demo.com), we would enter “support” as the “Subdomain” prefix.
2. Once you place your cursor in the “Document Root” text box, it will automatically fill in the location of your subdomain. cPanel will use the prefix you chose in Step 1 above and add it to the root path, ie. “public_html/PREFIX” or in our example, it would be “public_html/support.”

   If you want to specify a particular location other than what cPanel automatically enters for you, modify the path according to your specific needs.

3. Once you have completed the above, click on the Create button.
4. The next screen will indicate if your subdomain was created successfully. Click on the Go Back button to return to the previous page.
5. When the page loads, you will see a table with your newly created subdomain containing the following information, split into five columns:
   • Subdomains – This entry will be the “Prefix” you chose in Step 1 above.
   • Root Domain – This entry will be the domain used when creating your subdomain.
   • Document Root – This entry will be the “Document Root” path created in Step 2 above.
   • Redirection – If you have setup a redirection on the subdomain you are viewing, the “Redirection” column will state “redirected to PATH YOU ENTERED.” To learn how to setup redirection on your subdomain, view the Manage (Setup) Subdomain Redirection document.
   • Actions – You have two choices:
     • Manage Redirection – Click on this option to manage the redirection for the subdomain.
     • Remove – Click on this option to remove the subdomain from the system completely.
