How to Create an Addon Domain

An Addon Domain is a cPanel application that allows you to add additional domain names to your webhosting account. The number of Addon Domains that are allocated varies, depending on your webhosting plan.
Addon domains allow you to control multiple domains from a single account. An addon domain links a new domain name to a directory in your account, and then stores its files in that directory.
