    Hello,

    All the sites I use on my VPS will be add-on domains. The sites need to work like this:

    www.myaddondomain.com

    ...but not like this:

    myaddondomain.mymainsite.com

    I can get this problem solved myself. However, I found out that when I want to create an e-mail account for an add-on domain in cPanel I can choose from @myaddondomain.com and myaddondomain.mymainaccount.com. I only want to be able to create @myaddondomain.com mail addresses and find it confusing if I can choose from @myaddondomain.com and myaddondomain.mymainaccount.com. It's easy to make a mistake.

    Is there a way to disable the creation of subdomains when creating an add-on domain... or is that impossible?

    Because of how add-on domains work in cPanel it is impossible to get rid of those subdomains.

    Enabling that might be helpful to you. But this wouldn't change the listings seen when creating an email account I don't think. Give it a go and post back.

    Thanks, but unfortunately it didn't help. Subdomains are still being created (as well as the double listings in email accounts).
