 Step 3: Enter the name of the directory which contains the Subdomain that the addon domain will point to in the blank field next to Subdomain/FTP Username: (This directory will be the location for the addon domain's files, just as public_html is the location for your primary domain's files.)

 Step 4: Type in the password for the new addon domain, and click on Add Domain!

You can upload files directly to this addon domain using the username and password for the addon domain to log in through FTP.

In order to use a domain name as an addon, you need an add-on slot. It can be ordered from your Customer's area.

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.

Please note that Addon slots price does not include the domain name itself. If you need domain names, please order them separately from your Customer area.
