How to add another domain in cPanel

Open cPanel and choose Domains. Select Create A New Domain, enter the domain name, and untick shared document root if you want this domain to load a separate website. cPanel will suggest a folder path, but you can rename it to something clear such as public_html/exampledomain. Save the domain, then update the domain nameservers or DNS records at your registrar to point to XL Hosts NL. After propagation, upload the website files into the new folder or install WordPress with Softaculous. Use SSL/TLS Status afterwards to issue a free SSL certificate.
