If someone types either domain into a browser, they land on the same content. No duplicate site to maintain, no separate hosting account needed.<\/p>\n<p>The most common reason people need this: you&#8217;ve registered <code class=\"\" data-line=\"\">yourbusiness.ca<\/code> and <code class=\"\" data-line=\"\">yourbusiness.com<\/code> and want both to work without building two sites. It&#8217;s also useful after a rebrand, where the old domain should keep resolving while you transition traffic to the new one.<\/p>\n<p>One thing that confuses a lot of users is the naming change. cPanel renamed &#8220;Parked Domains&#8221; to &#8220;Aliases&#8221; starting with cPanel &amp; WHM version 78. The function is identical \u2014 just a different label in the UI. If your host is running an older version (check <strong>cPanel &gt; General Information<\/strong>), you&#8217;ll still see the original &#8220;Parked Domains&#8221; label.<\/p>\n<h2>Prerequisites<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Active cPanel account on your hosting plan (shared, VPS, or reseller)<\/li>\n<li>A registered domain name you want to park \u2014 you must own it<\/li>\n<li>Access to that domain&#8217;s DNS settings (usually at your domain registrar)<\/li>\n<li>The domain&#8217;s DNS must be pointed to your host&#8217;s nameservers, <em>or<\/em> you&#8217;ll need to add an A record pointing to your server&#8217;s IP before the alias will resolve publicly<\/li>\n<li>DNS propagation can take up to 48 hours \u2014 plan accordingly if this is time-sensitive<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Parked Domain vs. Addon Domain: What&#8217;s the Difference?<\/h2>\n<p>Before you start, make sure you actually want a parked domain and not an addon domain. They&#8217;re not the same thing.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Parked domain (Alias):<\/strong> Points to the exact same website as your primary domain. Same files, same content. No separate document root.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Addon domain:<\/strong> A fully independent website hosted on the same account. It has its own document root folder (e.g. <code class=\"\" data-line=\"\">\/home\/username\/yoursecondsite.com\/public_html<\/code>) and can serve completely different content.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you want two different websites under one hosting account, you want an addon domain, not a parked one. Our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hostandtech.com\/shared-hosting\/\">Shared Hosting<\/a> plans support multiple addon domains depending on the tier you&#8217;re on.<\/p>\n<h2>Step-by-Step: How to Add a Parked Domain (Alias) in cPanel<\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li>\n    <strong>Log in to cPanel.<\/strong> Your login URL is typically <code class=\"\" data-line=\"\">https:\/\/yourdomain.com:2083<\/code> or via the client area your host provides.\n  <\/li>\n<li>\n    <strong>Navigate to the Domains section.<\/strong> In the cPanel home screen, scroll to the <em>Domains<\/em> section and click <strong>Aliases<\/strong>. On older cPanel versions (pre-78), this is labelled <strong>Parked Domains<\/strong>.\n  <\/li>\n<li>\n    <strong>Enter the domain you want to park.<\/strong> In the <em>Create a New Alias<\/em> field, type the domain name \u2014 for example, <code class=\"\" data-line=\"\">yourbusiness.ca<\/code>. Don&#8217;t include <code class=\"\" data-line=\"\">http:\/\/<\/code> or <code class=\"\" data-line=\"\">www<\/code>.<\/p>\n<p>\ud83d\udcdd Note: cPanel will automatically handle both the bare domain (<code class=\"\" data-line=\"\">yourbusiness.ca<\/code>) and the <code class=\"\" data-line=\"\">www<\/code> subdomain (<code class=\"\" data-line=\"\">www.yourbusiness.ca<\/code>) once the alias is created. You don&#8217;t need to add them separately.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n    <strong>Click Add Domain.<\/strong> If everything checks out, you&#8217;ll see a success message. cPanel adds the domain to your account and creates the necessary Apache virtual host entry automatically.\n  <\/li>\n<li>\n    <strong>Update DNS at your registrar.<\/strong> The alias is now configured on the server side, but the domain won&#8217;t resolve until its DNS points to your server. Log in to your registrar and set the domain&#8217;s nameservers to match your hosting account&#8217;s nameservers, or add an A record manually:<\/p>\n<div class=\"ht-code-snippet\"><button class=\"ht-code-snippet__copy\" type=\"button\" aria-label=\"Copy code\"><\/button><span class=\"ht-code-snippet__feedback\">Copied to clipboard<\/span><\/p>\n<pre class=\"ht-code-snippet__code\" id=\"code-block-1\"><code class=\"\" data-line=\"\"># Example A record to add at your registrar&#039;s DNS panel\n# Replace 198.51.100.25 with your actual server IP address\n# You can find your server IP in cPanel &gt; General Information\n\nType: A\nHost: @\nValue: 198.51.100.25\nTTL: 3600\n\n# Also add a www record:\nType: A\nHost: www\nValue: 198.51.100.25\nTTL: 3600<\/code><\/pre>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u26a0 Warning: If you point nameservers to your host but the domain is registered at a different provider, any existing email MX records or other DNS entries will stop working. Make sure you replicate any necessary DNS records on the new nameservers before switching.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n    <strong>Verify the alias is working.<\/strong> After DNS propagates (usually 1\u20134 hours for most registrars, up to 48 hours worst case), test the parked domain in a browser. You can also check propagation status with a tool like <code class=\"\" data-line=\"\">dig<\/code> from your terminal:<\/p>\n<div class=\"ht-code-snippet\"><button class=\"ht-code-snippet__copy\" type=\"button\" aria-label=\"Copy code\"><\/button><span class=\"ht-code-snippet__feedback\">Copied to clipboard<\/span><\/p>\n<pre class=\"ht-code-snippet__code\" id=\"code-block-2\"><code class=\"\" data-line=\"\"># Check whether the parked domain is resolving to the right IP\ndig yourbusiness.ca +short\n\n# Expected output: your server&#039;s IP address\n# 198.51.100.25<\/code><\/pre>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2>Optional: Redirect the Parked Domain to the Primary Domain<\/h2>\n<p>By default, a parked domain shows the same content without any URL redirect. Both domains just serve your site independently. If you want the parked domain to redirect to your main domain (so the URL in the browser bar changes), you&#8217;ll need to add a redirect rule.<\/p>\n<p>You can do this in cPanel under <strong>Domains &gt; Redirects<\/strong>, or add it directly to your <code class=\"\" data-line=\"\">.htaccess<\/code> file:<\/p>\n<div class=\"ht-code-snippet\"><button class=\"ht-code-snippet__copy\" type=\"button\" aria-label=\"Copy code\"><\/button><span class=\"ht-code-snippet__feedback\">Copied to clipboard<\/span><\/p>\n<pre class=\"ht-code-snippet__code\" id=\"code-block-3\"><code class=\"\" data-line=\"\"># Add this to the top of your .htaccess file in public_html\n# Replace yourbusiness.ca and yourbusiness.com with your actual domains\n\nRewriteEngine On\nRewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www.)?yourbusiness.ca$ [NC]\nRewriteRule ^(.*)$ https:\/\/www.yourbusiness.com\/$1 [R=301,L]<\/code><\/pre>\n<\/div>\n<p>\ud83d\udcdd Note: Use a <code class=\"\" data-line=\"\">301<\/code> redirect (permanent) if you&#8217;re consolidating SEO authority to one domain. Use <code class=\"\" data-line=\"\">302<\/code> (temporary) only if the redirect is genuinely short-term \u2014 Google treats them differently.<\/p>\n<h2>Common Issues &amp; Troubleshooting<\/h2>\n<h3>&#8220;Domain already exists on this server&#8221; error when adding the alias<\/h3>\n<p>This means the domain (or a subdomain of it) is already registered as an addon domain, main domain, or alias on <em>any<\/em> account on the server \u2014 not just yours. On shared hosting, this is a server-wide check. If you own the domain and it&#8217;s stuck on an old account, you or your host&#8217;s support team will need to remove it from the other account first. If you&#8217;re on a VPS and you&#8217;re the server owner, check WHM under <strong>Account Functions &gt; List Accounts<\/strong> to locate which account holds the domain.<\/p>\n<h3>Parked domain shows a blank page or default cPanel placeholder<\/h3>\n<p>This almost always means DNS is propagating and the domain hasn&#8217;t fully resolved to your server yet. It can also happen if your server IP changed recently and cached DNS is still pointing somewhere old. Run <code class=\"\" data-line=\"\">dig yourbusiness.ca +short<\/code> to confirm where the domain is currently resolving. If it&#8217;s pointing to the wrong IP, the DNS change hasn&#8217;t propagated yet \u2014 give it more time or reduce your TTL and try again.<\/p>\n<h3>The parked domain is resolving but showing a different site<\/h3>\n<p>If the domain resolves to the right IP but shows a different website, the Apache virtual host isn&#8217;t matching the request to your account correctly. This can happen on servers with multiple cPanel accounts when the alias wasn&#8217;t added cleanly. In my experience, the quickest fix is to remove the alias in cPanel and re-add it \u2014 this forces cPanel to regenerate the Apache config. If you&#8217;re on a managed VPS, contact support and ask them to run <code class=\"\" data-line=\"\">rebuild_httpconf<\/code> on the server:<\/p>\n<div class=\"ht-code-snippet\"><button class=\"ht-code-snippet__copy\" type=\"button\" aria-label=\"Copy code\"><\/button><span class=\"ht-code-snippet__feedback\">Copied to clipboard<\/span><\/p>\n<pre class=\"ht-code-snippet__code\" id=\"code-block-4\"><code class=\"\" data-line=\"\"># Run as root on the server (WHM\/VPS access required)\n\/scripts\/rebuildhttpdconf\nsystemctl reload httpd   # or: service httpd reload<\/code><\/pre>\n<\/div>\n<h3>SSL certificate not covering the parked domain<\/h3>\n<p>This is annoyingly common and easy to miss. Adding an alias doesn&#8217;t automatically extend your SSL certificate to cover it. If you&#8217;re using AutoSSL (Let&#8217;s Encrypt via cPanel), go to <strong>Security &gt; SSL\/TLS Status<\/strong> and run AutoSSL manually. It should pick up the new alias and issue a certificate for it. If AutoSSL keeps failing for the parked domain, check that the domain&#8217;s DNS is fully propagated first \u2014 Let&#8217;s Encrypt&#8217;s validation will fail on an unresolved domain.<\/p>\n<h3>Parked domain not working for email<\/h3>\n<p>Aliases are for web traffic only \u2014 they don&#8217;t automatically set up email routing for the parked domain. If you need <code class=\"\" data-line=\"\">contact@yourbusiness.ca<\/code> to work alongside <code class=\"\" data-line=\"\">contact@yourbusiness.com<\/code>, you&#8217;ll need to configure separate email accounts or forwarders for the alias domain. Go to <strong>Email &gt; Forwarders<\/strong> in cPanel and set up address-level forwarders from the alias domain to your primary domain&#8217;s mailboxes.<\/p>\n<h2>FAQ<\/h2>\n<div class=\"ht-faq-section\">\n<h2>Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2>\n<div class=\"ht-faq-item\">\n<h3 class=\"ht-faq-question\">What&#039;s the difference between a parked domain and an addon domain in cPanel?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"ht-faq-answer\">\n<p>A parked domain (Alias) mirrors your main website \u2014 same files, same content, just a different URL pointing at it. An addon domain is a completely separate website with its own folder and content, hosted under the same cPanel account. If you need two different sites, use an addon domain.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"ht-faq-item\">\n<h3 class=\"ht-faq-question\">How long does it take for a parked domain to start working?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"ht-faq-answer\">\n<p>The server-side setup is instant. The delay is always DNS propagation \u2014 how long it takes for the domain&#8217;s new DNS settings to spread across the internet. Most registrars propagate within 1\u20134 hours, but it can take up to 48 hours in some cases. You can check progress with the dig command or a site like whatsmydns.net.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"ht-faq-item\">\n<h3 class=\"ht-faq-question\">Does a parked domain hurt my SEO?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"ht-faq-answer\">\n<p>It can, if both domains serve the same content without a canonical tag or redirect. Search engines may see it as duplicate content. The cleanest fix is to set up a 301 redirect from the parked domain to your primary domain, or add a canonical tag pointing to the primary URL. That way Google knows which domain is authoritative.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"ht-faq-item\">\n<h3 class=\"ht-faq-question\">Can I park a domain without changing its nameservers?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"ht-faq-answer\">\n<p>Yes. Instead of pointing the domain&#8217;s nameservers to your host, you can leave it at your current registrar and just add an A record pointing to your server&#8217;s IP address. cPanel doesn&#8217;t care how DNS is managed \u2014 it just needs the domain resolving to the right server IP when requests come in.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"ht-faq-item\">\n<h3 class=\"ht-faq-question\">How many domains can I park on one cPanel account?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"ht-faq-answer\">\n<p>It depends on your hosting plan. Some shared hosting plans cap the number of aliases, while others are unlimited. On a VPS or dedicated server where you control WHM, you can configure this per account under the hosting package settings. Check your plan&#8217;s feature list or contact support to confirm your account&#8217;s limits.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Parked domains in cPanel let you point multiple domain names at the same website \u2014 useful for protecting brand variations or regional TLDs.
