Convert Alias to addon domain or cPanel Account

[kawasakai]

Hi there,

is it possible to convert a alias-domain to an cPanel account or an alias to an addon-domain? It is required that mail accounts don't get lost.

No, there is no easy way as far as I know. You need to delete it and recreate it.

Hello @kawasakai,

You can read more about what happens to the email data when you remove an alias (e.g. to move it to an addon domain or it's own account) on the document below:

Aliases - Version 82 Documentation - cPanel Documentation

Let me know if this helps.

Thank you.

Thanks for your link to the documentation. After reading, I am not really sure if the article is just about the mails itself or the full account, meaning it's password and other settings are in the filesystem too? I don't need to recreate the account in cPanel interface?

Nevermindm, I figured it out. Thanks
