Overview<\/h2>\n

This interface allows you to convert an existing addon domain into a full cPanel account. When you convert an addon domain into a stand-alone cPanel account, you gain more control over the domain\u2019s resources, such as databases, FTP accounts, and SSH access. For more information, read our Addon Domains documentation.<\/p>\n

\n
Important:<\/div>\n
\n
    \n
  • \n

    You must<\/strong> have the rearrange-accts<\/code> ACL to convert an addon domain into a cPanel account. For more information, read our Edit Reseller Nameservers and Privileges<\/em> documentation.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  • \n

    The addon domain\u2019s data remains on the source account after this process completes. Due to this, converting an addon domain to a full cPanel account requires a large amount of disk space.<\/p>\n

      \n
    • We recommend that your server has triple the space that the new domain needs before you begin this process.<\/li>\n
    • After the process completes, you must<\/strong> remove the data from the source account. This reduces your account\u2019s data usage.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n
    • \n

      We strongly<\/strong> recommend you perform a backup of the original account that owns the addon domain before you begin the conversion.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    • \n

      You must<\/strong> delete the subdomains of the addon domain before you convert it to a cPanel account. If you do not<\/strong> perform this action, the conversion process will fail.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

      Select addon domain<\/h2>\n

      This section of the interface lists all of the available addon domains and their owners. Enter a domain or owner in the Search<\/em> text box to filter this list.<\/p>\n

      To convert an addon domain into an account, click Convert<\/em> in the Action<\/em> column for that domain. A new interface will appear with the following sections:<\/p>\n

      Account Settings<\/h3>\n

      This section of the interface allows you to set the basic information for the account.<\/p>\n

        \n
      • \n

        Username<\/em> \u2014 The username for the account that you will create. By default, the system generates a username using the addon domain name.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

      • \n

        Contact Email<\/em> (optional) \u2014 The main contact email address for the new account, to which the system will send notifications.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

      • \n

        Package<\/em> (optional) \u2014 The package for the new account.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

        Preserve Account Ownership<\/em> \u2014 Select this checkbox to ensure that the reseller account that owned the addon domain will also own the new account.<\/p>\n
