What is Addon Domain? Print

  • 0

An addon domain is an additional domain name that points to a subdirectory within your hosting account. It allows you to host multiple websites from a single hosting account using the same control panel. It is like having multiple hosting accounts, but without the additional cost. unique domain name. You can create multiple addon domains in your cPanel and they will each have their own unique directory, email accounts, and FTP accounts.

Now just think you have already purchased a domain such as "yourdomain.com" with hosting and you want to buy another domain such as "yournewdomain.com" without hosting. As it mentioned before that a domain is nothing without hosting, so what you will do with your new domain? Also you do not want to buy a new hosting package. What is the solution for that?

Don't worry, there is a solution. You can use the new domain as an addon domain which you need to add using your current hosting package by logging into the cPanel account. Yes, you can use a fully new domain along with the primary domain but the only difference is that the files share the same control panel and server.

[NB] You need to purchase a new domain to use as addon domain using same control panel and server.
