Getting Rid Of Sub-domain From Addon Domain

When creating an addon domain in cPanel a few different entry points are created to that addon domain such as subdomain.domain.com and domain.com/subdomain. In many cases it is a good idea to make these additional entry points not accessible. You can do this 2 different ways.


1. Through .htaccess. Add the following code to the .htaccess in your public_html folder.

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On 
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} subdomain.domain.com$ 
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ "http://domain.com/404" [R=301,L] 
</IfModule> 

2. In your Advanced DNS Editor point the sub-domains subdomain.domain.com and www.subdomain.domain.com to a domain that is not valid such as 1.2.3.4.
