• Document Root: - The document root is the directory where the files for this website will be located. The default directory for new domains is /yourdomain.lv
In case you will point check box "Create an FTP account associated with this Addon Domain", cPanel will also ask the password for your new domain FTP account.
• Password - The password you enter here is the FTP password for the FTP user mentioned above. As previously stated, most users don't use this new FTP account, but cPanel requires that you enter a password here.
• Password (Again): - Enter the above password again to ensure you are typing it correctly.
