Are you looking for a way to convert the addon domain to its cPanel?
A single cPanel can host multiple domains, which offers advantages, but there also come disadvantages to sharing the same cPanel.
So, if you want to convert the Addon domain to an account, WHM has a tool just for this purpose. It has made the whole process easy. Read below, and we will tell you an easy step-by-step procedure to convert the Addon domain to a separate cPanel. See how you can perform this task in just a few minutes!
What is Addon Domain?
Before jumping into the process, let's understand the addon domain in detail.
It’s a feature that allows you to host completely separate websites and email accounts on the same cPanel. This means you will host everything under one hosting account. You don’t need to purchase a separate web hosting plan for each domain.
It has numerous advantages, such as saving on costs. Plus, adding domains in the same cPanel is itself an easy process that people prepare.
Apart from the advantages, the cPanel addon domain also has some disadvantages. For instance, since the websites share the same cPanel, they lack speed, performance, and bandwidth. Plus, in case one website gets hacked, the others will be at risk because of weak and shared security systems. Additionally, the downtime of the server will affect all the websites.
