In this article we\u2019ll discuss an advanced method for taking a single cPanel account, and splitting it into multiple cPanel accounts. Multiple cPanel accounts are only available on VPS or dedicated server plans, and splitting up your domains between multiple cPanel accounts can allow you to give away cPanel access to a website owner without having to give the end user access to your other domains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In our example below we have one cPanel account with the name userna1<\/strong> that has the primary domain name PrimaryDomain.com<\/strong> and an addon domain name called AddonDomain.com<\/strong>. We want to break apart these two domains so we can give a web developer full cPanel and FTP access to AddonDomain.com<\/strong> without them being able to modify anything on our PrimaryDomain.com<\/strong> site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We have a WordPress install on both domains, so we will also need to take special care to ensure that the MySQL database gets moved over and the database user credentials are modified to allow the database connection to still work with a new username.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

cPanel creation is no longer unlimited. Learn more about cPanel Pricing Changes<\/a> and related FAQs<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n

To follow along with these instructions you would need root access<\/a> to your server. If you don\u2019t have root access you can also follow along with our more basic article on how to split a single cPanel account into multiple ones<\/a>.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Login to your server via SSH<\/a> as the root user.<\/li>\n
  2. We want to find the document root for our AddonDomain.com<\/strong> and then change to that directory with these commands: grep addondomain.com \/etc\/userdatadomains<\/code>\n

    Which should give us back:<\/p>\n

    addondomain.com: userna1==userna1==addon==addondomain.primarydomain.com==\/home\/
    \nuserna1\/public_html\/addondomain.com==70.39.151.52:80==<\/code><\/p>\n

    Now change to the directory in-between the ==\u2019s<\/strong> with:<\/p>\n

    cd \/home\/userna1\/public_html\/addondomain.com<\/code><\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  3. Now we want to look for any database configurations on this domain, an easy way is to look for the username followed by an underscore _<\/strong> through all your files with the following command: grep userna1_ .\/ -RH<\/code>\n

    Which should give back something similar to:<\/p>\n

    .\/wp-config.php:define('DB_NAME', 'userna1_wrdp1');
    \n.\/wp-config.php:define('DB_USER', 'userna1_wrdp1');<\/code><\/p>\n

    So we can see because of wp-config.php<\/strong> that these database credentials are for a WordPress site, you\u2019ll want to open up this file and also copy down the DB_PASSWORD<\/strong> value as well as the DB_NAME<\/strong> and DB_USER<\/strong> ones.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  4. Now we want to backup that WordPress database to our home directory using the following command: mysqldump userna1_wrdp1 > ~userna1\/userna1_wrdp1.sql<\/code><\/li>\n
  5. We can now create our new cPanel account. The first thing you\u2019ll want to do is Log into WHM<\/a>.<\/li>\n
  6. In the top-left Find<\/strong> box type in Create<\/strong>, then click on Create a New Account<\/strong>.
    \"cpanel-click-on-create-new-account\"<\/a>\n

    \u00a0<\/p>\n

    \u00a0<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  7. Now for the Domain:<\/strong> you\u2019ll want to enter your domain with a -temp.com<\/b> suffix, that way we can test and get the account up and running prior to shutting down the real site. So in our example we\u2019re using AddonDomain-temp.com<\/strong>, you can then choose a username and password you\u2019d like this new cPanel to use, and in the Choose a Package<\/strong> drop-down you\u2019ll want to select the default vps<\/strong>package or whatever custom package you might have set up.After entering in all the information scroll to the bottom of the page and click on Create<\/strong>\n

    \"cpanel-enter-temp-domain\"<\/a><\/p>\n

  8. Now that the new account is created we want to copy over all of the relevant files for the AddonDomain.com<\/strong> site to the new userna2<\/strong> account with the following series of commands: rm -rf ~userna2\/public_html<\/code>\n

    cp -frp ~userna1\/etc\/addondomain.com ~userna2\/etc\/<\/code><\/p>\n

    cp -frp ~userna1\/mail\/addondomain.com ~userna2\/mail\/<\/code><\/p>\n

    cp -frp ~userna1\/mail\/.*@addondomain_com ~userna2\/mail\/<\/code><\/p>\n

    cp -frp ~userna1\/public_html\/addondomain.com ~userna2\/public_html<\/code><\/p>\n

    Now we want to fix the permissions of all the files we brought over, so they\u2019re owned by the userna2<\/strong> user with the following command:<\/p>\n

    fixperms userna2<\/code><\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  9. Now we want to update our wp-config.php<\/strong> script so it\u2019s using our new userna2<\/strong> username, this can be done with the following command: replace userna1_ userna2_ -- ~userna2\/public_html\/wp-config.php<\/code>\n

    Which should spit back:<\/p>\n

    \/home\/userna2\/public_html\/wp-config.php converted<\/code><\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  10. Now Login to your cPanel<\/a> so you can create the MySQL database.<\/li>\n
  11. Under the Databases<\/strong> section click on MySQL Database Wizard<\/strong>.
    \"cpanel-click-on-database-wizard\"<\/a>\n

    \u00a0<\/p>\n

    \u00a0<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  12. Enter the database name from our wp-config.php<\/strong> script, then click on Next Step<\/strong>.
    \"cpanel-create-a-database\"<\/a>\n

    \u00a0<\/p>\n

    \u00a0<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  13. Enter in a database username and password, then click Create User<\/strong>.
    \"cpanel-create-a-database-user\"<\/a>\n

    \u00a0<\/p>\n

    \u00a0<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  14. Place a check beside All Privileges<\/strong>, then click Next Step<\/strong>.
    \"cpanel-database-privileges\"<\/a>\n

    \u00a0<\/p>\n

    \u00a0<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  15. Now back to our SSH session we can import our MySQL backup into the newly created userna2_wrdp1<\/strong> database with the following command: mysql -u userna2_wrdp1 -p userna2_wrdp1 < ~userna1\/userna1_wrdp1.sql<\/code>\n

    At the Enter password:<\/strong> prompt, enter in the database user password you copied down earlier.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  16. Now you\u2019ll want to login to your original cPanel account again to remove the AddonDomain.com<\/strong> from the account, so that we can modify the one we created on our new account. To start this process under the Domains<\/strong> section click on Addon Domains<\/strong>.
    \"cpanel-click-on-addon-domains\"<\/a>\n

    \u00a0<\/p>\n

    \u00a0<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  17. Beside AddonDomain.com<\/strong> click on Remove<\/strong>.
    \"cpanel-addon-domain-remove\"<\/a>\n

    \u00a0<\/p>\n

    \u00a0<\/div>\n

    On the confirmation screen click on Remove \u201cAddonDomain.com\u201d<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  18. Now that the domain is removed from our userna1<\/strong> cPanel account, we\u2019ll want to log back into WHM so we can modify our userna2<\/strong> account to use that domain. In the top-left Find<\/strong> box type in modify<\/strong>, then click on Modify an Account<\/strong>.
    \"whm-click-on-cpanel-database-privileges.pnmodify-an-account\"<\/a>\n

    \u00a0<\/p>\n

    \u00a0<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  19. Click on our AddonDomain-temp.com<\/strong> domain, then click on Modify<\/strong>.
    \"whm-select-addon-click-modify\"<\/a>\n

    \u00a0<\/p>\n

    \u00a0<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  20. Now change the domain entry in the Primary Domain:<\/strong> field to AddonDomain.com<\/strong>, then scroll to the bottom and click on Save<\/strong>. You should see a green Success!<\/strong> status display when it\u2019s done.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    This should be all that is necessary for splitting one cPanel account into multiple cPanel accounts. Once you have everythign running correctly on the new separate cPanel account, you can then go back to the original userna1<\/strong> cPanel account and remove the AddonDomain.com<\/strong> site\u2019s files from \/etc\/addondomain.com<\/strong>, \/etc\/addondomain.com<\/strong>, and \/public_html\/addondomain.com<\/strong>. Also you can remove the MySQL database from that user as well now that a duplicate copy has been setup under our new userna2<\/strong> user.<\/p>\n\n\n
