These options only appear if your hosting provider enables them. |
New document root
The document root defines the domain's directory relative to the cPanel account's home directory. For example, if you enter newdomain.com
in the New Document Root text box and the cPanel account uses the /home/username
home directory, the files for that domain will reside in the /home/username/public_html/newdomain.com/
directory.
Note |

|
- This option only appears if your hosting provider enables it.
- This action changes the directory where the web server searches for your files. It does not rearrange your files.
- You cannot modify the document root for domains that share the document root with the main domain.
|
To provide a new document root, perform the following steps:
- Enter a new document root path relative to the user's home directory.
- Click Update.
Remove the domain
To remove the domain from the cPanel account, perform the following steps:
- Click Remove Domain.
- To confirm that you wish to remove this domain, click Yes, remove this domain.

- We strongly recommend that you create a full account backup before you remove a domain. For more information about backups, read our Backup documentation.
- This action only removes the domain's
vhost entries and DNS entries. The server retains the domain's directory and contents. - You cannot delete the main domain.

Email accounts when you remove a domain
If you remove a domain that contains email accounts, those email accounts will not appear in the Email Accounts interface (cPanel >> Home >> Email >> Email Accounts). However, the mail folders continue to exist on the server. If you add the domain again, the email accounts will reappear.
