Create Parked Domain in cPanel

Creating a parked domain in cPanel allows you to add additional domain names to your hosting account. These domains will point to the same website and content as your primary domain. This can be useful if you have multiple domain names that you want to direct to the same site. Here’s how to create a parked domain in cPanel:

Step-by-Step Guide:

  1. Log in to cPanel of the account to place the domain on.
    • You can access cPanel by typing “yourdomain.com/cpanel” in your web browser and logging in with your cPanel username and password.
  2. Click “Domains” under the “Domains” section.
    • This will take you to the “Domains” page where you can manage your domain names.
  3. Click the “Create A New Domain” button.
    • This will open a new page where you can enter the details for your new domain.
  4. In the “Domain” text box, enter the domain name to add as an alias.
    • Type in the domain name that you want to park on your hosting account (e.g. example.net).
  5. Ensure that the “Share document root (/home/example/public_html) with “example.com”.” option is selected.
    • This option will ensure that your parked domain points to the same website and content as your primary domain.
  6. Click the “Submit” button.
    • This will create your parked domain and add it to your hosting account.

That’s it! Your parked domain is now set up and ready to use. You can repeat these steps to add additional parked domains to your account. Keep in mind that it may take some time for your new domain to propagate and become active.
