Creating an additional domain

Step 1: Point your domain

Ensure your domain is pointed to Zume. There's two methods to achieve this. We recommend using option 1, however if your domain is registered with Cloudflare and you are unable to modify your domain's nameservers you should use option 2.

Option 1: Update your nameservers (recommended)

Go to your domain registrar, and update the nameservers for your domain.

These should be set to:

• ns1.hosting.zumedns.com
• ns2.hosting.zumedns.com

Option 2: Create an "A" record

1. Log into cPanel.
2. On the right-hand panel, locate the section that says "Shared IP Address".
3. Copy the IP address and create an A record with your external DNS hosting provider. For example if you use Cloudflare. steps can be found here: https://developers.cloudflare.com/dns/manage-dns-records/how-to/create-dns-records/

Finally, verify your nameservers to A record is correct using a DNS checker tool such as https://sitehealth.dev/

Step 2: Add domain in cPanel

1. Navigate to the Domains menu in cPanel.
2. Click "Create a New Domain"
3. Enter your new domain. Make sure you uncheck the "Share document root" checkbox, otherwise the domain will be added as an "alias" of your main domain.
4. Click "Submit".
5. A directory for the new domain should appear in your account's home directory. You can use the cPanel File Manager or your own SFTP Client to upload files for your new website.
6. An SSL certificate will be automatically provided for your new domain, although it may take some time.
