This issue reported on is fixed in 70.0.47. However there are still issues when entering a domain that is a subdomain of the primary domain as an addon in the domain field. Example: Primary Domain: example.com Addon Domain: subdom.example.com Addon Subdomain: sub-subdom.example.com Addon Directory: any If you terminate the account it doesn't clean up the subdom.example.com DNS zone. This presents issues trying to use that domain in other ways. Removing the Addon, does properly remove the zone.

  Hello @rinkleton, I've moved this post to a new thread since it's associated to a new issue.

  However there are still issues when entering a domain that is a subdomain of the primary domain as an addon in the domain field. Example: Primary Domain: example.com Addon Domain: subdom.example.com Addon Subdomain: sub-subdom.example.com Addon Directory: any

  
  Can you let me know the full steps you are taking to reproduce this issue? For instance, if you try to create an addon domain name that's a subdomain of the primary domain name of the account, it should present you with the following error message: You cannot park a domain on top of itself.
  Thank you.

  I don't get that error. I vaguely remember getting it in the past, but I feel like there was a need for it so cpanel made changes to allow for it. But I could be confusing that with trying to park a subdomain of the root account on an account. I know there is a setting for this. To reproduce: - Create an account with primary domain: example.com - Create an addon domain with domain: subdom.example.com subdomain: sub-subdom directory: public_html - Terminate account This should leave a DNS zone for subdom.example.com still existing. Being able to create an addon domain on itself is pretty important and powerful. It solves a lot of issues relating to sharing of VHOSTs and DNS Zones. As far as I can tell it works perfectly other than leaving the DNS zone after termination.

  Hello @rinkleton, I've reproduced the issue and opened internal case CPANEL-20864 to report this behavior. I'll monitor this case and update this thread with more information as it becomes available. Thank you.
