Build several Sitejet websites with domains and subdomains

Sitejet Builder works per domain: each domain or subdomain in your cPanel account can have its own Sitejet website. That lets you run a main business site, a landing page for a campaign and a preview copy of a redesign side by side, all from one hosting account.

Before you start

• A cPanel account with enough addon domain or subdomain allowance for the sites you plan.
• Each domain pointing to MdmHost, so it can receive a free SSL certificate.

Add the domains or subdomains

1. Open cPanel → Domains → Domains and click Create A New Domain.
2. Enter a new domain, such as campaign-example.com, or a subdomain, such as offer.example.com.
3. Leave Share document root unticked so each site gets its own folder, and click Submit.
4. For a separate domain, update its nameservers or A record at the registrar.

Create a site for each domain

1. Open Sitejet Builder from cPanel (search for "Sitejet").
2. Choose the domain you want to build for. Sitejet shows each domain separately.
3. Pick a template and build the site, then publish it to that domain.
4. Repeat for the next domain.

Use a subdomain as a preview

To redesign a live site without visitors seeing work in progress:

1. Create a subdomain such as preview.example.com.
2. Build the new website for that subdomain in Sitejet and publish it there.
3. Share the preview address with colleagues for feedback. Keep it out of search engines by not linking to it publicly.
4. When approved, rebuild or copy the content into the Sitejet site for the main domain, or ask support whether your Sitejet version can copy a site between domains.
5. Delete the preview subdomain afterwards in cPanel → Domains → Domains.

Keep sites consistent

• Use the same colours, fonts and logo in each site's design settings.
• Link related sites from each other's footers where it makes sense.
• Give every site its own page titles and descriptions; do not copy text word for word between domains, which weakens SEO for both.

SSL for every site

Open cPanel → Security → SSL/TLS Status, select the new domains and subdomains and click Run AutoSSL after their DNS points to MdmHost. Enable Force HTTPS Redirect for each domain in cPanel → Domains → Domains.

Email for campaign domains

Each added domain can have its own mailboxes in cPanel → Email → Email Accounts. Point the contact form of each site to an address on that domain for the best deliverability.

Troubleshooting

• Domain missing in Sitejet's list: it was added as an alias that shares a document root; recreate it with its own root.
• Both domains show the same site: they share a document root.
• Cannot add more domains: your plan's addon domain limit is reached. Upgrade or ask support; resellers can raise limits in their WHM packages.

Next steps

• Publish Sitejet to a domain
• Sitejet SEO settings
• Enable Sitejet per package in WHM
