Plesk Shared Hosting: Adding a Domain

You can create additional domains for use with your Shared Hosting account. First, ensure you are logged into your account at the Shared Hosting login page.

• From the Control Panel, click on the "Websites & Domains" tab near the top of the screen.

• Click the "Add New Domain" button, below Websites and Domains.

• You will be presented with the following options:

• Blank Website - This is the default
• Deploy using Git - Pull files from a Git repository
• WordPress Site - Most Popular if you want to set up a WordPress site
• Upload Files - If you already have your site complete you can choose this option
• Node.js - A website running on Node.js
• Import website - Import from another host

• On this screen, fill in your domain name, A brief description of each follows the image.

• Registered domain name vs Temporary domain name
  • It is recommended you choose Registered domain name
  • Temporary domain name will assign a randomly generated name that you can change later
• Registered domain name: This is the name of your new domain.
• Webspace: Where the domain will be hosted your primary domain should be listed here
• Hosting Type:
  • Website Hosting- If you are designing a new website.
  • Forwarding - If you want this domain to forward to another
  • No Hosting If you only want the domain available for E-Mail addresses or DNS.

• Be sure to click on Hosting Settings
• Document root: This is the folder where you will build your new website. We recommend you name your folder specific to each domain.
• Preferred domain: You can choose to have domain.tld or www.domain.tld or none.

It is highly recommended you create a separate rooted directory for each domain, as opposed to pointing your domain to a sub-directory.

• Once you've entered the correct information for your new domain, simply click "OK." You will see the following text indicating your new domain has been created successfully!
