What is a Root Folder?

Article summary

The root is the folder where the website files for a domain name are stored. Because cPanel allows for multiple domain names (addon domains and subdomains), you need to have a unique folder for each domain.

Your primary domain is rooted in the public_html folder. Your addon and subdomain names can be rooted in their own folders inside the root folder, or in their own folder in public_html.
