There you will learn that Addon Domains are domain names that point to subdirectories within your account. To the outside world, they are just like any other domains hosted on any server. To you they are sub folders in your hosting account. In fact they are more than sub folders as each addon domain has its own FTP account (username is the same as the sub folder name) and CGI-BIN.
If you have or plan to have several domain sites hosted, do not open a hosting account for each domain. Just pick one domain and get it hosted with us first. To host another domain of yours, just add it to your main hosting account using the "Addon Domains" link from cPanel. As you can see, our Advanced Plan gives you up to 11 domains and our Business Plan allows you to add up to 3 domains.
No need to order another hosting account. Just pick one that best suits your needs and then add more domains to your slot as you build more sites. Since the main site has already resolved to our server (DNS settings have already propagated throughout the world wide web), newly added domains may take only a few hours to resolve to our server. Adding a new domain is almost as simple as creating a sub folder in your account.
There is only one thing which is lacking. Although the addon domain site has its own FTP and Email account and a CGI-BIN, it does share the sub domain with the main account. Meaning the new add-on is redirected to the sub domain based on the main account. The sub domain is something like this: addon.your-main-domain.com but when using the add-on domain the sub.domain is hidden from the browse |
