What is an add-on domain?
An add-on domain is a new domain that is added on top of your main domain. It creates a sub directory within your main web hosting directory but can show a different web site.
The add-on domain collects the information from the sub domain directory using the same space and bandwidth as your main account, however it won’t have its own cpanel (web hosting manager).
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
