Are you looking to add a new domain addon to your existing Bluehost account? Bluehost makes it easy to manage multiple domains under one account, allowing you to create separate websites for different purposes or projects. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of adding a new domain addon to your Bluehost account step by step.
Before we begin, it’s essential to have a Bluehost account already set up. If you don’t have one yet, you can sign up for an account on Bluehost’s website. Once you have your account ready, follow the steps below to add a new domain addon:
