Introduction

Addon, Subdomains, and Aliases (Parked) domains may need to be split from time to time, or the needs of these domains may change. This How-To will provide details on how to convert the Alias domain to an Addon domain.

Procedure

Email is NOT removed when you remove the Parked domain. However, it is advised that you create a backup of the account before performing any changes.
