Unable to add an Addon domain in cPanel

If you found this post helpful, kindly share it and show your support :)

If you received following error while adding domain as an Addon domain from your cPanel.

“sorry the domain is already pointed to an IP address that does not appear to use DNS servers associated with this server”. 

You can simply turn on “Allow Remote Domains” under the WHM tweak settings to resolve this error. Turn on “Allow Remote Domains” help us to add new Addon domains that having name servers other than your server.

To do the same, you can follow below steps :-

  • Login to WHM
  • Click on “Tweak Settings” under “Server Configuration”
  • Change the value of “Allow Remote Domains” option under Domain tab from Off to On
  • Click on save button.

Also, you will need to set “Allow Unregistered Domains” option to “On”. You can follow below steps to do the same.

  • Login to WHM
  • Click on “Tweak Settings” under “Server Configuration”
  • Change the value of “Allow Unregistered Domains” option under Domain tab from Off to On
  • Click on save button.

Note : Allow creation of parked/addon domains that resolve to other servers (e.g. domain transfers). So, this can be a major security problem. If you enabled it, do make sure that you are not to allow users to park common Internet domains and turned OFF these feature after adding Addon domain.

I'm Mohammed Noufal, working as Server Admin for the last 10 years.  In my day-to-day life, l had to face different problems related to Web-hosting. On my website Errorlogz.com, you can find solutions for different Web-hosting-related problems. Sometimes, I spent hours searching/googling to find a solution. This inspired me to start a website that gives solutions to different Webhosting problems. This website includes basic Linux and windows commands, and different control panels like cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, Webmin & so on. You can find solutions and or suggestions for different Web-hosting related problems from here. Hence I would like to say Errorlogz is your server protector.  I will be glad if Logdetect can help any one of the Server admins to find a solution to his problem.
