    What do you mean by “the same WP account”?

    Thanks for your reply.

    I do have a website and a wp account. Now I want to install a new template for a new domain on the same WP account, if this is possible which I dont know.

    Or do I have to create a new user for the new website?

    thank you!!!

    Ah, THAT account. 🙂
    So, you have hosting space somewhere, and your website is already installed. Right? Now you want to add another domain at the same hosting?

    Provided that your hosting company has no limitations in that matter, you need to make new folder (directory) for your new website, point your domain to that folder and install new instance of WordPress into new database.

    Then when you create admin for that website it is security-wise to use different username and especially different password compared to your first website.

    You can use FTP program to access your hosting account and make a new one usually under /public_html/ so it would be /public_html/newdomain/.
    Of yourse you’ll have to login to your cPanel and add new domain and point it to that folder. BTW, you can also make that folder from within cPanel’s file manager.
