An addon domain allows you to host multiple websites within a single cPanel account. However, if you no longer need a particular addon domain, you can remove it easily. Follow this step-by-step guide to delete an addon domain from your cPanel account.

Step 1: Log in to cPanel

1. Open your browser and go to yourdomain.com/cpanel.
2. Enter your cPanel username and password, then click Log in.

Step 2: Access the Addon Domains Section

1. In the cPanel Dashboard, scroll down to the Domains section.
2. Click on Addon Domains.

Step 3: Remove the Addon Domain

1. Locate the domain you want to remove under Modify Addon Domain.
2. Click the Remove button next to the addon domain.
3. Confirm the deletion by clicking Remove Domain again.

⚠️ This action only removes the addon domain from cPanel. Your website files will remain in the File Manager unless you delete them manually.

Step 4: Delete Website Files (Optional)

1. Go to File Manager in cPanel.
2. Navigate to the public_html directory (or the specific folder assigned to the addon domain).
3. Select and delete the files if you no longer need them.

Step 5: Remove Email Accounts (Optional)

• If the addon domain had associated email accounts, go to Email Accounts in cPanel and delete them if necessary.

Conclusion

Removing an addon domain in cPanel is a simple process that ensures your hosting account remains organized. If you plan to use the domain elsewhere, make sure to back up any necessary data before deletion.
