You are currently viewing How to add Addon domain and Subdomain in the Plesk control panel?

The Plesk Control Panel is used in IT Nut Hosting as a Control Panel for Windows Hosting. There are usually 3 types of domains in a control panel.

One is the Main Domain that is used when purchasing a hosting package. The main domain is different from the main domain of CPanel. This main domain can be easily changed which We will let you know in the next post.

Sub-domain can be used as a new domain by adding a prefix before to the domain using any domain. This is called Sub Domain.

Addon Domain is the main domain in a control panel. A different domain can be added as the main domain. That can be added to the domain section is called Addon Domain. Hosting providers determine how many domains or how many addon domains can be added to a package.

Addon Domain works like main Domain. Addon Domain’s website files are uploaded to the specified folder under “httpdocsl”. Addon Domain works exactly like a domain name and later you can create subdomains for addon domains. As with other Domains, we need to change the nameservers to point it out with our hosting service.

How to add an addon domain

Now if the Plesk control panel uses a different nameserver to connect the domain with hosting please use that nameserver on your domain and wait for DNS propagation. DNS propagation can take up to 24 hours to propagate.

Once your nameserver is updated your task is done. now you can do whatever you want with your domain.

What is subdomain

The domain that you want to create from the current domain is called subdomain. The number of sub-domains you can add depends on the hosting package you purchase. It basically acts as the child domain of the current Main Domain (blog.example.com) and you can upload website files to a specific folder under “httpdocs”.

How you can make a new subdomain

  1. To do that first log in to your Plesk control panel. And click on Add Subdomain from the “Websites & Domains” section.
