Domain Already Exists Error

Error from domain wrapper: Domain already exists; it was not added.: example.domain.com

This error can occur when trying to park a domain on an addon domain and could be due to one of two reasons:

  1. The domain being added has already been added and therefore already exists. To correct this, you will need to delete the domain from your addon domains, parked domains, or subdomains before proceeding.
  2. The subdomain being created already exists. When this happens, you can manually change the subdomain, which cPanel automatically generated for your addon domain.
    • For example, if you are trying to park example.com on example.com.au, cPanel will autofill the Subdomain/FTP Username field with the example which may already exist. Change this value to a new variation, like exampleau.
