# How to Add Multiple Domains to One Hosting Account

**In short:** In cPanel go to **Domains → Domains** and click **Create A New Domain**. Enter the domain, then either keep **Share document root** ticked to show the same site as your main domain, or untick it to give the new domain its **own folder** and upload a separate website there.

Hosting several domains on one plan is common and makes sense when you run more than one site, serve different audiences or countries, or use several brand names. Keep in mind that on shared hosting all your sites share the plan's resources.

**Before you start:** the new domain must point to your hosting, either by using our nameservers (see [how to change your domain nameservers](https://www.hyyat.com/en/knowledgebase/change-domain-nameservers/)) or by DNS records.

## Step 1: Log in to cPanel

Log in from the client area, or directly with your cPanel login (see [how to log in to cPanel](https://www.hyyat.com/en/knowledgebase/how-to-log-in-to-cpanel/)).

## Step 2: Add the domain

1. In cPanel, go to the **Domains** section and click **Domains**.

3. Enter the new domain in the **Domain** field, then choose:
   - **Share document root** ticked: the new domain shows the same content as your main domain.

   - **Share document root** unticked: the new domain gets its own folder (Document Root). You can set the folder name or keep the suggested one.

4. Click **Submit**.
5. If you chose a separate folder, open it in File Manager (usually inside **public_html**, named after the domain) and upload the new website's files.
