Why Addon Domains Are So Handy

Basically this feature in cPanel allows you to host multiple websites with one hosting account. It gives you full control when you need to host new domains on your main website!

If you do not have a hosting account yet, you can see how it works by login to the live demo for our server control panel (cPanel). Once you login, you will see an icon in the top-right area called "Addon Domains" - click on the link and play with this feature. Do not worry - that copy of cPanel is put on demo mode and nothing will be saved when you play with it :-)

Or you can click here to view a FLASH tutorial showing you how you can create the addon domain. If you are prompted for login info, the username is "existing" and the password "customer"

There you will learn that Addon Domains are domain names that point to subdirectories within your account. To the outside world, they are just like any other domains hosted on any server. To you they are subfolders in your hosting account. In fact they are more than subfolders as each addon domain has its own FTP account (username is the same as the subfolder name) and CGI-BIN.

If you have or plan to have several domain sites hosted, do not open a hosting account for each domain. Just pick one domain and get it hosted with us first. To host another domain of yours, just add it to your main hosting account using the "Addon Domains" link from cPanel. As you can see, our Gold Plus Package gives you up to 10 domains slot and our Super Plus Package allows you to add up to 15 domains to your main hosting account.

No need to order another hosting account and wait for its setup. Just pick one that best suits your needs and then add more domains to your slot as you build more sites. Since the main site has already resolved to our server (DNS settings have already propagated throughout the world wide web), newly added domains may take only a few hours to resolve to our server. Adding a new domain is almost as simple as creating a subfolder in your account.

There is only one thing which is lacking. Although the addon domain site has its own FTP account and CGI-BIN, you cannot create any site email accounts as all emails are attached to the main domain. If you are web designer and most of your clients insist to have a separate account login and site email account, then this feature is not for you. But if you are building multiple websites for your own, this feature is perfect for you as you don't have to keep track of login info for each site.
