How to create an addon domain on Lunarpages
It’s easy to add additional domain on your Lunarpages hosting account via cPanel.
An addon domain is a domain hosted on the same Lunarpages account but is pointed to a subfolder of your main domain. It works like an independent website where e-mail account and stats reporting can be added separately from the main domain.
To create an addon domain, you’ll first need to login to Lunarpages cPanel. Once you have made your way to the cPanel front page, look for an icon named ‘Addon Domain’.
Click in and you’ll see a series of addon domain already hosted on your account (if there’s any). For the first timer, here’s the screen you’ll be seeing where a simple form is given at the Addon Domain Maintenance screen.
Fill in the form accordingly and click ‘Add Domain’ when you’re done. The cPanel system will setup everything automatically and you should be done within minutes.
In case you need help for the form (which I don’t think it’s necessary), here is a rundown quoted from Lunarpages Wiki Page:
New Addon Domain:
The domain you wish to add to the account (such as example.com). Be sure you do not add the “www” in front of the addon domain when putting in the address.
Username/directory Name:
The subdomain/director in your account you would like to point the addon domain.
Password:
Create a new password for the addon domain. Please make it 6-8 characters and it should not contain the domain name.
The setup process is pretty simple and direcet. It’s, however, worth noting that addon domains will not be functional unless the domain name is registered with a valid domain name register and the domain name is configured to point at the Lunarpages nameserver for your account (something like NS54.Lunarpages.com and so on).
Also, do not confuse addon domain with a subdomain. Sub domains are extensions of your main site. They look like subdomain.yourdomain.com; while add on domains are self standing domains which are simply located on the same account as your original domain.
