How to set up a new domain in cPanel

Here are the steps to set up a new domain in cPanel with dotCanada.com:

1. Log into your dotCanada.com cPanel account.

2. In the "Domains" section, click on the "Addon Domains" icon.

3. Enter the new domain name you wish to set up in the "New Domain Name" field.

4. Choose the appropriate document root directory for the new domain. This is where the website files will be stored on the server.

5. Click "Add Domain" to create the new addon domain.

Once the domain is created, you may need to perform additional steps depending on your requirements:
• Upload your website files to the document root directory via FTP or the File Manager in cPanel.
• Create email accounts for the new domain under the "Email Accounts" section in cPanel.
• Set up databases if your website requires them using the "MySQL Databases" icon.
• Configure DNS settings for the new domain to point to dotCanada.com's nameservers if you haven't already done so with your domain registrar.
• Enable additional features like SSL, redirects, etc. as needed from the cPanel interface.
