How Do I Access the Control Panel for Addon Domains?
Your addon domains share the control panel of your main domain. Here's how to manage them and when reseller hosting makes more sense.
Introduction
When you add several domains to multi-domain hosting, it’s natural to wonder whether each domain has its own control panel. At miHosting, addon domains are managed from the main domain’s control panel on your hosting account.
How to access the panel for addon domains
- Log in to your hosting control panel with your usual credentials.
- Go to the domains, addon domains, or site management section.
- Select the domain you want to manage.
- From that same panel you can manage files, email, databases, SSL, and redirects for that domain, depending on the options available in your plan.
Why there isn’t a separate panel per domain
Multi-domain hosting is built for one webmaster to manage multiple domains from a single account. This makes management easier when all the domains belong to the same client, company, or webmaster. However, it isn’t the ideal option if you need to hand out separate access to third parties.
What you can manage from the main panel
From the main control panel you can manage:
- Files for each domain.
- Email accounts.
- Databases.
- SSL certificates.
- Redirects.
- Subdomains.
When you need reseller hosting
If what you need is to give each domain its own independent control panel, with a separate user, password, and resources, check out our reseller service. Reseller hosting lets you create separate hosting accounts — useful for web designers, agencies, or anyone managing client websites.
Frequently asked questions
Do addon domains share the same username and password?
Yes, they share the main hosting panel access.
Can an addon domain have its own cPanel?
Not on standard multi-domain hosting. For that, you need a reseller service.
Can I have several websites even though there’s only one panel?
Yes. Each domain can have its own website and email even though it’s managed from the same panel.
Conclusion
Addon domains are managed from the main hosting panel. If you need separate panels for each domain or client, the right option is to look into a reseller plan.
