Addon domain is a secondary domain that you can host on your primary web hosting account. It allows you to run a completely separate website with its own content, independent of your primary domain, using the same hosting resources. Essentially, one hosting account can support multiple websites, each associated with different domain names.
Here are key points about addon domains:
1. Separate Website: An addon domain functions as an entirely different website from your main domain, complete with its own web content, email accounts, and subdomains.
2. Same Hosting Account : You don't need a separate hosting account for each domain. An addon domain shares the resources (disk space, bandwidth, etc.) of the main hosting account.
3. Directory Structure: The files for an addon domain are stored in a subfolder within the root directory of your hosting account, but visitors to the addon domain won't see this; they will only see the domain URL.
4. DNS Settings : Addon domains require you to point the domain's DNS (Domain Name System) to the same server as your hosting account.
This feature is commonly offered by web hosting providers as a cost-effective way to manage multiple domains under a single hosting plan.
