What is an Add-On Domain?

January 29, 2006, 7:29 am

Add-On Domain is basically a new domain name that points to a subdirectory within your existing hosting account where the website for the new domain will reside. Add-on domains must be registered domain names that you own, and that are configured to point to your web host’s servers.

An add-on domain functions just like any other domain. For example, if you already have a hosting account under www.mydomain.com, you can register and set up an add-on domain (e.g. newdomain.com), so that when your visitors check “www.newdomain.com” in their browser, they will be directed to the new site.

This feature is controlled by your hosting provider and the number of Add-On domains you can created is dependent on the limit of your hosting plan. For each new add-on domain, you will need to register another domain and point it to the same nameservers as your primary domain account.

Remember that all add-on domains share resources (i.e. webspace, bandwidth) with your primary domain account and all other domains within that hosting account account (whether they are parked domains or additional add-on domains).
