Difference between Sub domain, Packed domain, and Addon domains

The Differences between sub-domain, parked and addon domains

In web development, we get asked this question all the time. The answer is very straightforward:



A Sub domain
Say your domain is ABC.com.
You install a board forum and put in in a directory called ABC.COM/forums/.
You can turn the board forum into a sub-domain by adding it as a sub-domain from your Control Panel.
Now you can access your board as either ABC.com/forums OR forums.ABC.com
This is usually free.




Parked Domain
You have two domains ABC.com and XYZ.com.
ABC.com is the domain of your website and you want to add XYZ.com.
You want them both to go to the same place. In other words, when someone types either ABC.com or XYZ.com they will go to the same page(s) on your website.



Add-On Domains
You have two domains ABC.com and XYZ.com, and you want the two domains to be totally separate/independent websites. XYZ.com can be added to your hosting plan as an addon domain.




This will be useful for beginners in web development.
