Then you’ll have to change the website URL and the home URL for your website to work under the new domain; here’s a guide to do that as well, which is also listed in the article I linked to:

Adding to what @oxy said:
In the control panel, you’ll find the sections called Addon Domains, Parked Domains and Subdomains. What do all those different domain types mean?
example.com , then test.example.com would be a subdomain of example.com . And similarly, sub.test.example.com is a subdomain of both example.com and test.example.com .
In your control panel, the Subdomains section allows you t…
