What is the difference between a parked domain and an add-on domain?
Votes: 0
Parked Domains are basically an alias domain name to your main domain, it will be pointing to the same webpages as your main domain is pointing to ex. www.domain.com/index.htm and www.parkeddomain.com/index.htm is pointing to the same webpage "index.htm".

An add on domain allows you to run a separate web site to your primary domain. When you create an add on domain, it makes a folder in your public_html folder and you upload the site content into that folder. So essentially you are running 2 separate sites, separate content, off one account. They cost €2,95 per month per add on.

Say your primary is www.domain.com and you create addon domain www.addon-domain.com. The addon domain is pointed to the "addondomain" folder under public_html

In the address bar if you type www.addon-domain.com it will resolve to the content in the "addon-domain" folder and in the address bar you will see www.addon-domain.com.

With both the parked and addon domains, you can create seperate email accounts for each domain name.
