Addon Domains

Addon domains are essentially domain names that share resources and features from just 1 hosting account with other domains but functions as if it were an independent website.  It is created from the hosting account control panel and through 1 control panel, you are able to setup email addresses, ftp accounts, databases, and more for each domain that is “added on”.

From the world point of view, no one will be able to tell whether a domain name is a primary domain on an account or if it is an addon domain.   This is because an addon domain is still a fully functioning domain.  However from an administrative point of view, addon domains are handled just like subdomains.
