Adding Addon Domains
Â
Overview
The Addon Domain Maintenance menu allows you to add addon domains to your account. An addon domain allows you to reach a subdomain when entering the name of the addon domain into a browser. This means that you can host additional domains from your account, if allowed by your hosting provider.

Troubleshooting
Addon domains will need to be registered with a valid domain name registrar before they can be added. Make sure that your account has the ability to use addon domains before attempting to add one.
