Once you're logged in, navigate to the Domains function, use the Find search bar to assist you.

- Enter your domain name in the Domain field
- Uncheck the option Share document root
- The document root and subdomain fields will be automatically filled, so you can proceed to create your domain by selecting Submit
Remove a domain
To remove a domain from cPanel, select the Manage button next to the domain you wish to delete, then select Remove Domain, and Yes, Remove This Domain to submit your changes.
The remove function will delete the domain from the server however it won't remove any files associated with the domain, to remove the domains files, use the File Manager function and MySQL databases function to remove associated data where applicable.
