Hostafirm Staff Jan-1st, 2015 23:07 0 0

An add-on domain is a combination of the parked and subdomains, and allows you to host an additional domain within your account, but with separate content. Example Usage:

  • You have two domains yourdomain.com and mydomain.net
  • yourdomain.com is the main domain for your website and you want people to be able to access a *different* site as mydomain.net
  • You upload your additional website into a directory in your webspace called /site2/
  • you can now access the 2nd site as yourdomain.com/site2/
  • You can add the additional domain as an "add-on" from within your Control Panel, redirecting it to the site2 folder.
  • Now when someone types yourdomain.com they get the original site and when they browse to mydomain.net they will go to the site2 website.
