Note: This guide is not about domains whose IPs have been blacklisted. This primarily concerns the error "Blacklisted Domain" when adding the domain as a website on CyberPanel.

We will examine the cause and how to fix this error in CyberPanel.

**Cause**

This error results from adding a domain that is the same as the VPS hostname. You can check your VPS hostname by accessing it via SSH terminal and running the following command:

```
hostname
```

It will give such an output:

As a security feature, Cyberpanel does not allow website creation using the VPS hostname. When you try to create the website, you will receive this error.

**Solution**

Update the server hostname with another hostname. If you are trying to add domain.com as a website and this is the VPS hostname, you can edit the server hostname with the following command:

```
hostname srv.domain.com
```

Then restart the system:

```
systemctl restart lscpd
```

Then you can continue creating the website.
