Adding an add-on domain in cPanel

Create an Addon Domain

Please make sure the name servers are pointed to Jolly Works Hosting name servers as stated in the Welcome Email you received from us during account activation. Please note that they should be changed before adding the domain. If your domain is registered with us (or you got it free from your package), please see this guide on how to change your name servers: http://dcp.jollyworkshosting.com/kb/servlet/KBServlet/faq455.html.

  • To add this through your cPanel. Choose the menu option "Add-On Domains"
  • New Domain Name: the name of the domain (ex: yourdomain.com)
  • Username/directory/subdomain: the FOLDER you wish for the domain to point towards (ex: yourdomain)
  • NOTE: simply the name of the folder you want the domain's content to be stored will be sufficient. It can be a folder that already exists or make up a name and it will create the folder for you.
  • Password: password for your account (*recommend same as cPanel)
  • Be sure to wait a couple of minutes for the page to load after you create them. It takes a few minutes from when you click on add for a confirmation screen to appear.

Enable or Disable Addon Domain Redirection

To disable or enable redirection of an addon domain:

  1. Click the Manage Redirection link corresponding to the addon domain you wish to manage.
  2. If you wish to redirect the domain, enter the link you would like to redirect the addon domain to in the available text field.
  3. Click Save.
    • To disable the redirect, click Disable Redirection.

Remove an Addon Domain

To remove an existing addon domain:

  1. Click the Remove link corresponding to the addon domain you would like to remove.
  2. Confirm that you would like to remove the addon domain by clicking Yes.
  3. To keep the addon domain, click No.

Search Addon Domains

You may also search through existing domains:

  1. Enter the search criteria into the Search field.
  2. Click Go.

Results matching your search criteria will populate the list.
