Add-on or multi-hosted domains
Multi-hosted domains function just like any other
domain from the visitor's/browser's point of view.
If you have a multi-hosted domain "multihosteddomain.com"
and your visitor types "www.multihosteddomain.com"
into the browser, the browser's address bar will show
"http://www.multihosteddomain.com" and not
"http://www.maindomain.com/multihosted".
If your visitor navigates to some other page, the
browser will accordingly show "http://www.multihosteddomain.com/someotherpage.html".
All multi-hosted domain names share
the same IP address, control panel, disk space, data
transfer, MySQL databases and other resources provided
in your main account.
Multi-hosted domains do not have
their own POP email accounts. However, each multi-hosted
domain comes with a catch-all address that automatically
forwards all incoming email to your main domain's
POP account.
Multi-hosted domains, unlike your
main account domain, cannot have their own subdomains
(subdomain.multihosted.com) or SSL certificates. However,
they have their own CGI-BIN.
Parked Domains
Parking domains is pointing multiple domains to the
front page of your main domain.
Sub-Domains
A subdomain is a lower level domain. It is added on
the left of the domain name, e.g. subdomain.example.com.
You can create as many subdomains as allowed by your
hosting plan. Domains and subdomains have equal functional
capabilities, including web site management, e-mail
service, FTP, dedicated IPs, etc.; however subdomains
do not have their own DNS zones.
Your control panel comes with full
functional control to create and manage add-on domains,
parked domains and sub-domains.
