If you own multiple domains, you can easily integrate them into your cPanel hosting account (subject to your hosting plan limitations) by designating them as aliases for a primary domain. This feature allows you to acquire additional domains to safeguard your brand identity, ensuring that visitors who enter these alternative domain names are seamlessly redirected to your main website. This way, you can enhance your online presence and protect your existing web traffic.
Once you've purchased your domain, ensure the nameservers are set to:
ns1.uptimewebhosting.com.au
ns2.uptimewebhosting.com.au
See the following link for instructions on how to check and edit your nameservers:

Now follow these steps:
- Login to cPanel
- Go to Domains and click on Domains:
- Click on the Create A New Domain button at the top right:
- In the Domain textbox, enter the new domain name you'd like to add to your account. If you want the domain to load your primary cPanel domain, leave the Share document root tick box ticked and skip the next step.
- If you want the new domain to load a different site on your account, untick Share document root and enter the path to the website you do want to load:
Use the file manager in cPanel to confirm the correct directory that contains your website files. Leave the Subdomain box setting at the default. - Now click the Submit button to add your domain.
- After a few moments, you will see a confirmation message:
Your new domain has been added to your account. A new SSL certificate will be installed the next time the server processes AutoSSL, or you can use the SSL/TLS status icon in cPanel to request it immediately.
