• Login to cPanel.
• Locate the "Domains" section, then click "Additional Domains".
• В разделе Дополнительные домены заполните следующие поля.

• New Domain Name - Enter a new domain name (not including http:// or www).
  The "Subdomain" and "Root Folder" fields will be filled in automatically. If you want the secondary domain to use a different directory or folder, enter the name of the directory in the Root Folder field.
• Create an FTP account associated with the secondary domain. Check the box if you want to create a separate FTP account for the additional domain. Once validated, text fields for the FTP username and password will be displayed. Enter your preferred FTP username and password.

How to point the domain to a specific or existing folder

How to point the domain to a specific or existing folder
If you already have content uploaded to a specific folder in your account, or if you want the content to be in a different folder than the default folder. In this case, you must specify the correct folder in the "Root folder" field in the "Change additional domain" section. If the folder doesn't exist, cPanel will create it for you.
If the folder already exists, it will give you a warning. Because you entered something that already exists. You can safely ignore this warning as you intend to point an additional domain to this folder.

For new additional domains:

• After providing the new secondary domain, replace the auto-populated document root entry with the folder or directory you want to use in your secondary domain.
• Click Add Domain.
• On the next page, enter your preferred redirect URL for the secondary domain.
