While "Addon Domains" is a cPanel-specific term, in Plesk, the equivalent concept is simply adding a new domain under your hosting subscription. Here's how to create and remove a domain (addon-style) in Plesk — step by step.

How to Create an Addon Domain in Plesk

Step 1: Log in to Plesk

Visit your Plesk login URL (e.g., https://yourdomain.com:8443) and log in with your credentials.

 


Step 2: Go to “Websites & Domains”

  • In the left sidebar, click on “Websites & Domains.”

  • Click the “Add Domain” button.

Step 3: Fill Out Domain Details

  1. Domain name: Enter your new domain (e.g., example-addon.com)

  2. Hosting type: Leave it as Website Hosting

  3. Document root: Optional – this is where your site files will be stored (e.g., /example-addon.com)

  4. Click OK or Add Domain.
