What are add-on domains and how to use them?

Answer
Addon Domains (parked) allow you to host several independent websites using one hosting account. To manage e-mail, databases, subdomains, and other features of the addons you will use your primary account. The files for addon domains are stored in a separate directory (ex: mydomain.com/addon1). When accessing the addon domain (ex: addon1.com) it displays all the files in that directory as if they were a separate website. In other words, addon1.com points to mydomain.com/addon1.
To setup an addon domain, login to the control panel using username and password provided in the welcome e-mail. Go to "Addon Domains", fill out and submit the form. The field "Username/directory/subdomain Name" is the name of the directory where you want the files for the new domain to go (ex: "addon1" for mydomain.com/addon1). The "Password" field is not required and can be left blank.
Remember that before an addon domain is working, the domain itself must be registered and pointed to the same server where your primary domain is.
LIMITATIONS:
- SiteBuilder does not publish to addon domains
- Fantastico does not install scripts for addon domains
