I am trying to employ some basic development practices by separating my development, test and live environments.
I am using Drupal in a multisite configuration so aside from my primary domain I have a number of addon domains associated with this account.
One option is to have a separate cPanel account for each domain, but as many sites share the same modules etc, this would just be duplicating code across multiple accounts and will be a nightmare to manage security and module updates.
So the option I have chosen (or would like to choose) is to have 3 cPanel accounts - one for each stage of development, then have www.* point to the live account, test.* point to the test account and so on.
This works OK for the primary domain, but when I try and add a subdomain as an addon in one of the other accounts, cPanel tells me:
Is there anyway I can support this methodology using multiple cPanel accounts?
Cheers,
Roy

dev.***.co.uk is controlled by another user. You cannot park it.
