Add secondary or alias domains to my Linux Hosting account

You can add secondary or alias domain names to any type of hosting account. However, what you can do with additional domain names depends on the type of hosting plan you have.

Type	Description
Secondary	Secondary domains have websites hosted in separate folders that work independently of the primary domain. Available for all plans except Economy. You can have as many secondary domains as you like, but we don't recommend using shared hosting for more than ten websites - that taxes the server resources and hinders performance.
Aliases	Alias domains display the primary domain's website with a different domain name/URL. Available for all plans.

Go to your Heart Internet customer area and select cPanel Hosting.
Select the your desired cPanel hosting account and select Login.
In the account Dashboard, click cPanel Admin.
In the cPanel Home page, do one of the following depending on how you want to configure the domain name:

Secondary (Addon)

In the Domains section, click Addon Domains.
Complete the following fields, and then click Add Domain:

Field	What to do...
New Domain Name	Enter the domain name you want to use.
Subdomain/FTP Username	Enter the FTP username you want to use.
Document Root	Enter the name of a directory you want to create in the home directory. You'll upload the New Domain Name's files to this directory to make its website display.
Password & Password (Again)	Enter the FTP password you want to use.

Alias

In the Domains section, click Aliases, enter the domain you want to use, and then click Add Domain.

If you want to alias a domain other than the hosting account's primary domain, click the cog icon. From this page, enter the URL to which you want to redirect the aliased domain, and then click Save.
