How To Convert Add-On Domain to a Primary cPanel Domain

Do you wish to convert the add-on domain to a primary cPanel domain? It can be done quickly and without the involvement of any complex steps or technical knowledge. The add-on domain can be altered or converted to a primary cPanel by ensuring that the following steps are taken in the right sequence.The first step to take is to back up the entire database and the web content. This can be done using the Cpanel.

The first step to take is to back up the entire database and the web content. This can be done using the cPanel Backup Wizard. The Wizard can be used to create a backup of the MySQL database as well as the backup of the entire web content.

The second step is to log in to access the cPanel account originally created. This is a necessary step to eliminate the add-on domain from the Add-on Domains section. However, deleting the original content of the databases is not necessary. You can proceed even without doing this specific step.

The third step is to log in to WHM panel. By this step, you develop a new cPanel account. This can be done using the existing add-on domain as the primary domain. After this process has been completed, you must now upload the content to the appropriate folder (the public_html folder in this case). This must be done through the FTP and be using the new control panel account.

After this step, you have to restore the MySQL database of your system using the new cPanel account. When this is done successfully, go ahead and reconnect the database connections and run a test to establish its functionality.

After all the above-mentioned steps are completed properly and successfully, your website must be in a position to resolve. You need not change the Name Servers as the IP address will remain the same even after the process is completed.
