▶ PARTIAL TRANSCRIPT:
If you already have Namecheap Shared hosting and a WordPress website, but you want to add another domain to your hosting account and install WordPress to your Add-on domain - we'll cover that in this video.
First, if you haven't done so, purchase a new domain name from Namecheap.
Then, login to your Namecheap account and click Domain List.
Find the domain you want to connect to your Namecheap Shared hosting account, and click MANAGE
Scroll down to NAMESERVERS and from the drop down select
"Namecheap Web Hosting DNS"
Click the CHECK Mark and that's it. It may take up to 24hrs for the changes to take effect, but it's usually within one hour.
Now that our DNS is set, we still need to connect the domain to our hosting account as an Add-On Domain.
So, login to your CPanel, and scroll down to Add-On domain.
Click Add-On Domains
Enter the domain name in the New Domain Name box, click in a gray area and the Subdomain and Document Root will be filled in automatically. You can change the Subdomain if needed. If you need an FTP account for this domain, check the box, if you don't know what that is, then you don't need it.
Click Add Domain, and that's it. Now your domain is ready to use.
Before we install WordPress to our new domain, let's install the free PositiveSSL, this step is totally optional.
We already have other domains running Wordpress in our Namecheap hosting account, but I want to install WordPress to our new Add-On domain as well. I want a separate install and not a Multi-Site, you can read more about Multi-Sites in the description, and decide if that is right for you.
So, from CPanel, scroll down to Softaculous Apps Installer, and under Scripts, select WordPress.
Choose Install Now
Make sure you are installing the latest version.
Choose your Protocol. Since we already installed our SSL I'll choose , you can choose the www version if you prefer, but I think it's redundant.
Now, the important part, make sure you choose the correct domain!
I'll choose the sasquatch domain. Leave the 'In Directory' box blank unless you know what you are doing.
Give the site a name and description, you can always change this later in WordPress.
I do not want a Multi-Site, so I won't check the box.
Choose an account name for this WordPress account. Then, you can choose your own password, or click the key to generate one. MAKE SURE YOU WRITE THIS DOWN!
Add your email, this can be your domain email, or gmail, or outlook, whatever email you prefer.
Choose your language if need be. And then select any plugins you want installed. You don't need to install any right now if you don't want to as you can always do this from your WordPress dashboard later. Checkout wpCentral if you happen to have multiple WordPress sites. But for now I'll only select Loginizer.
Finally, choose your initial theme if you want, if you don't select one, the default will be installed.
Again, don't worry about this now, since we can choose our theme later in WordPress.
Enter an email if you want to be notified once the install is done. And then click install.
And that's it.
Now when you navigate to the URL you'll see your blank website. Then, go ahead and login to WordPress and start creating your new WordPress site hosted on your Namecheap Shared hosting account. And any changes you make to your new WordPress site, will NOT effect the other sites you have hosted in your account.

[@albert_chen]

When I search addon-domain, I see there is a domain tab as well. What is the difference between adding another domain and adding an add-on domain? thanks so much for the help!

[@hansdetlefsen5132]

I have this same question, because I cannot find "addon-domain" in my cPanel...there is only "Domains" or "Redirects" as options for me.

Thanks for the comment

[@martipk]

great video, but i have an other question, how would i switch primary domain?
eg. a company called A, is now called B.
Lets say i have a website a.com and have purchased a b.com, but I want my website to say b.com on the top (and a.com will redirect there).
I can see the domain in the addon domain but im not sure how to set it as primary, do you know?

[@martipk]

G_man it actually is just a simple thing, had to go to my server provider and just change it.
Also this is the Internet, anything can be free you capitalist waste of air.

[@eyyupkavalci]

Thanks for the great tutorial sir..I do the same but addon domain redirects my main domain..I disable redirection, modify .htaccess..nothing worked..could you please share any advice? Thanks a lot

[@StudyRate]

Thanks Very Much

[@usspropertiesnigeria1704]

Where can i find a video showing you use one or independent wordpress installation(s) on two different domains (for example thezenithplace.com and ussproperties.com )on one namecheap hosting (stellar package) plan?

[@hussnainahmedsaqib9028]

The domain “example.com” already exists in the userdata.
What should I do now?

[@upzox]

love your voice

You are just amazing. Thank you very much

[@debbiestimac5175]

I love your strong and firm tone of voice! Makes me yearn for a time when we had real men in academia, keeping us girls listening and learning! The baby voice "men" these days are completely forgettable when they speak, we daydream away already bored of what she is talking about, back to our phones while she wastes more of our day. A manly voice enters the room? Phones down ladies! He sounds hot AF.

[@chandrikakumari1]

Thank you so much

[@BillyMangino]

The only thing I can't see to find anywhere, is what the best practices are for file structure in the case of multiple add-on domains using Wordpress. I don't want a "Wordpress multisite", since my sites are very much unrelated and updated independently. But I can't figure out if I should be creating add-on domain in a subfolder within the root (ie: rootdomaindotcom/addondomainsfolder/mywordpresssitedotcom/wp-content etc.) or directly in the root folder (ie: having multiple ".com" folders mixed in with the .system, .trash, mail, ssl, public_ftp folders etc.). The latter is the default (instal folder in root), but it feels like for organization sake, keeping an addon domains in their own subdirectory of the root sound like it makes more sense, but it's not the default, so is that not recommended? God I hate this stuff.

[@kapilaudukumbura6703]

Thank so helpuful great

[@Razib_Rahman]

Thank you.

[@marisolsauer2225]

How can this be done if your hosting plan is the standard that doesn't include an addon - is it possible without upgrading current plan?

[@martinsclinton2411]

bless you bro

[@alijee9443]

love this . thankyou
I have one question is it compulsory to set web hosting namecheap DNS or we can done with Custom DNS ?

[@yogameditate3671]

I think custom dns is used if you using a different hosting provider

[@toctoc22]

This is video is helpful thank you
