What is an addon domain?

An addon domain is a fully functional domain that can be created from within your control panel. Think of it as having multiple hosting packages all sharing the same control panel. You can give them email addresses, forwarders, and more the same way you do for your main domain on the account.

The addon domain will exist inside the public_html directory of your account with the folder name you choose for it upon creation.

Add-on domain benefits.
1. Create multiple domains/websites on the same web hosting account.
2. Save money and web space by using one hosting account instead of several hosting accounts.
3. The add-on domain shares all the same resources (disk space, bandwidth...) with your main site.
4. The add-on domain has its own FTP manager, site stats, cgi-bin which is created automatically.
5. Upload all pages, images, scripts, forums etc to your add-on domain directory.
6. Access your add-on domain using several web site addresses
i.e. http://www.SiteB.com, http://www.SiteB.SiteA.com, http://www.SiteA.com/SiteB
7. Promote several web sites within one hosting account with their own set of keywords.
