A. An addon domain is a
fully functional domain that will work out of a folder in your main
sites ftp.
Q. READ THIS BEFORE
SETTING UP AN ADDON DOMAIN!
You cannot create an addon domain if your dns hasn't proprograted to the server already. So
after you change the sites dns you are trying to add you will need to
wait 24-48 hours before attempting to create your addon domain.
A. There are three
fields cpanel asks for when creating an addon domain.
1.
"New Domain Name:" You will put in the newdomain.com do not put www
in the name!
2.
"Username/directory/subdomain Name:" This will be the folder cpanel
creates in your main accounts ftp. MAKE SURE that the name you give it
doesn't already have a folder. Example... If you want to give it the
username chris. You cannot have a folder in your account named chris
already. If you do and still try creating the username for the addon
domain to be chris you will mess a lot of things up!!!
3. "Password:"
fill in any password you want here.
Q. Help I added an addon domain why did it say subdomain added?!!?
A. It creates it as a
subdomain by creating the folder within your main sites ftp. Please
ignore this! It is a fully functional domain name. It is only called a
subdomain when in fact it is an addon domain.
