Use Add-On Domains to Optimize Your Web Hosting Space
(Page 1 of 3 )
Herman Drost addresses add-on domains and their benefits by asking questions such as: Is it possible to host two or more sites with two or more domains on the same hosting account? You may want to register and market another domain name but don't want to pay for another hosting account. The best solution is to create an add-on domain.

What is an add-on domain?
An add-on domain is a new domain that is added on top of your main domain. It creates a sub directory within your main web hosting directory but can show a different web site. The add-on domain collects the information from the sub domain directory using the same space and bandwidth as your main account, however it won't have its own cpanel (web hosting manager).
Add-on domain benefits
- Create multiple domains/websites on the same web hosting
account.
- Save money and web space by using one hosting account
instead of several hosting accounts.
- The add-on domain shares all the same resources (disk space,
bandwidth...) with your main site.
- The add-on domain has its own FTP manager, site stats,
cgi-bin which is created automatically.
- Upload all pages, images, scripts, forums etc to your
add-on domain directory.
- Access your add-on domain using several web site addresses
i.e.
http://www.SiteB.com,
http://www.SiteB.SiteA.com
http://www.SiteA.com/SiteB
- Promote several web sites within one hosting account with
their own set of keywords.
