Addon Domain Hosting

An identifying string known as a domain identifies a sphere of administrative autonomy, power, or control on the Internet. Domains that are tacked on to an existing Web Hosting account are called Addon Domains. They are frequently used to develop other websites on the same Web Hosting account (which can be DirectAdmin or cPanel).

A domain that is added to your account but not the main domain is an addon domain. Addon domains are kept in your public HTML folder as subdirectories. The addon domain may be reached by navigating to www.yourdomain.com/subdirectory. As many more domains as your addon domain hosting package permits can be added to your single hosting account!

Using addon domains, you may manage several domains from a single Web Hosting account. The advantages of using addon domains are that you can maintain all of your domains in one location and that they are simple to set up and administer. You can also share resources, such as web hosting, email, and databases, with additional domains registered under your account.

A fully working addon domain can be created from your control panel. Addon domains allow you to host several domains from a single control pane. This addon domain is a fresh, original website that is housed in a new folder on your Web Hosting account. In the same way as a primary domain, you can assign multiple functions to an addon domain.

There should be no indication that your addon domain is an addon domain when inbound traffic views it. The secondary domain won't make any references to the primary domain and will function independently. In the address bar of your visitor's browser, yourmaindomain.com will appear separately from youraddondomain.com.

Business owners can greatly benefit from using an addon domain. You may use this capability to manage several websites under a single account without getting multiple Web Hosting accounts. You can add other domains for email addresses and forwarders in addition to utilizing the main domain. Additionally, the primary and other domains use the same control panel. Therefore, it is advised to utilize the same Web Hosting account for all of your websites if you have more than one!

The files related to the addon domain are housed on the same server, and it is managed using the same control panel as the main one. It's crucial to keep in mind that an addon domain should only be utilized by the same person or corporation as the main one.

Advantages of an Addon Domain

- An Addon Domain is affordable since you can host several different websites under one Web Hosting account.
- The same Web Hosting control panel is used to administer each of your websites.
- The addon domain will seem to your website visitors as a whole separate website.
- To restrict access to the files in the primary account, each addon domain might utilize a separate FTP account.
- Both DirectAdmin and Cpanel are available to host your Addon domains!
- There can be separate email accounts for each additional domain.

Disadvantages of Addon Domains

Utilizing addon domains has several disadvantages, chief among them being management challenges. Each account must have its login page, and each domain must be managed independently. If you have a lot of addon domains, this might take a lot of time and be complicated.
A website with an addon domain cannot have a unique dedicated IP address. For websites containing sensitive information that need paid SSL certificates or higher levels of security, addon domains are not advised.
High resource utilization on one of the add-on domains might have an impact on the other domains on the same shared Web Hosting account since resources are shared.
Addon domains use the same logins as your primary domain and are not protected by the same technologies for isolation as separate accounts. As a result, compared to distinct Web Hosting accounts, addon domains are more susceptible to cross-contamination brought on by a hacked web application on the same account!
