How to modify the document root for an addon domain in cPanel?

This article guides you step by step on how to modify the document root for an addon domain in cPanel.

Step 1: Log in to cPanel

Step 2: Under Domains choose Domains.



Step 3: Double-click the Manage option under the Actions column beside the domain you want to modify. Here we are looking to modify the document root for example2.com.



Step 4: Type in the new folder you’d like to have that domain pull its files from, and click Update.
Note: This action changes where the web server searches for your files. It does not rearrange your files in any way.
