How to Add a Website Using cPanel's Jupiter Theme

Posted by NetworkWhois on

Setting up a new website or subdomain in cPanel's Jupiter theme is straightforward once you know the steps. I've helped numerous clients with this process, and here's my detailed guide on how to do it correctly.

Getting Started: Accessing the Domain Settings

First, you'll need to access the Domains section in your cPanel account. Here's how:

  1. Log into your cPanel account
  2. Look for the "Domains" section in the main dashboard
  3. Click on the Domains icon to access domain management tools

Creating Your New Domain

Step 1: Initiate Domain Creation

Once you're in the Domains section, look for and click the "Create a New Domain" button. This will open the domain creation form.

Step 2: Configure Domain Settings

You'll need to fill out several important fields:

  • Domain Name: Enter your desired domain name. Make sure it's spelled correctly!
  • Document Root Sharing: I recommend unchecking this box unless you specifically need to share resources with another domain.
  • Directory Location: The home icon shows where your domain files will live. The default setting usually works best for most websites.
  • Subdomain Configuration: If you're creating a subdomain, you can specify it here. For most users, keeping the default setting is the safest option.

What's Next?

After successfully adding your new domain, you might want to:

  • Install a content management system like WordPress using Softaculous
  • Set up email accounts for your new domain
  • Configure SSL certificates for secure connections

If you're planning to install WordPress, make sure to check out our comprehensive guide on using Softaculous Software to streamline the installation process.

Pro Tip: Always make sure your domain's DNS settings are properly configured before starting to build your website. This will prevent any potential access issues later on.
