A Sitejet site and another website on the same plan

A plan can hold more than one site, up to the plan's limit. What it cannot do is hold two sites in the same folder.

The rule: one folder per site

Sitejet Builder publishes into the domain's folder and replaces whatever is there. That is why it will not accept a domain that shares its folder with another one, or a redirected domain.

Three ways to have both

Option When to use it
Subdomain (shop.yourbusiness.ao) For a second site of the same brand, or to test the new site before switching.
Another domain on the same plan For another business or brand — see how to add another domain or a subdomain.
Builder on the main domain, the other on a subdomain When the builder site becomes the main one.

Building the builder site on a subdomain

1 In cPanel, open Domains › Sitejet Builder.
2 Click Create a New Website.
3 Type the full subdomain, for example new.yourbusiness.ao. It gets its own folder.
4 Build and publish. The site on the main domain is not touched.

Moving the new site to the main domain

When the new site is ready, there are two routes:

1 Move the builder site. cPanel lets you move a Sitejet site to another domain with a 15-digit sharing code, which you get inside the builder.
2 Publish on the main domain. Everything in publishing without losing the site you had applies: create the restore point first.
Before switching: make a copy of the old site — see how to make and keep your own backup.

What if the current site is WordPress?

Leave it on the main domain while you build the new one on a subdomain. When you switch, the restore point keeps the WordPress files; its database stays in the account until you delete it. To remove it for good, see how to remove WordPress from a domain.

If you are going to change the WordPress site rather than replace it, first read a test site before touching what is live.
