What is an Addon Domain?

An addon domain is a fully functional domain that can be created from within your control panel. Think of it as having multiple hosting packages all sharing the same control panel. You can create email addresses, forwarders and more — the same way you do for your primary domain on the account. The only difference is that the files for the primary domain and the addon domain(s) share the same control panel and server.

Note: When incoming traffic visits your addon domain, there should be no evidence that it is an addon domain. The addon domain will act as an independent domain, with no references to the primary domain. Primarydomainname.com will be separate from addondomainname.com in the address bar of your visitor's browser.

Also note that for FTP, the addon domain would be associated with the primary domain only by the username. The username usually appears as:

addonexampledomain@primaryexample.com
