Domain
Domain names are the word sequences users enter in their address bar of an internet navigator to visit a specific web site. Each domain name is assigned to an IP address. The DNS ( Domain Name System ) is used to translate the IP addresses into words.
Addon Domains
Addon Domains are domains that are pointed to subdomains. This means that you can host multiple domains, with different content, in a single web hosting account. However, an addon domain does NOT get its own cPanel.
(cPanel is a web hosting control panel that provides a graphical interface and automation tools designed to simplify the process of hosting a web site.It is simply designed for the end users to control everything from adding / removing email accounts to administering MySQL databases. cPanel is a very nice and easy to use Control Panel.)
Addon domains can have their own POP3 accounts but cannot have subdomains.
- A subdirectory in public_html is created (unless the subdirectory exists already).
- A subdomain is created (unless it exists already). The content for the subdomain will be in the new subdirectory.
- An FTP account is created with the name and password you specify (unless the FTP account exists already). This FTP user has access to the new subdirectory ONLY.
- The domain is pointed to the subdomain, so that when you browse the domain in your Internet browser, you will see the content from the subdomain. Someone browsing the addon domain will not be able to tell that it is an addon domain.
