<span style="font-family: Verdana;"><b><span style="font-size: small;">About Addon domains:</span></b><span style="font-size: small;">

Addon domains are handled like subdomains as far as the server is concerned but to the outside world they are separate domains.

When you setup an addon domain, you enter the domain name (without www.) and the system will automatically suggest an appropriate folder and will create that folder so don't make the folder first.

You can enter any password you like, it doesn't have to be the same as the main domain.

You don't need to create a subdomain for the addon domain.

An ftp account is created for the addon domain so when you ftp using that ftp account it will direct you to the created folder for that addon and that's where you will upload the addon site.

If you need to change the password for the addon you do it through the ftp manager.

To view stats for the addon you look under subdomain stats.

You will setup emails for the addon domain in the main cpanel. Addon domains on a shared account do not have their own cpanel.</span></span>
