What is Domain Name?
The domain name is a component of a uniform resource locator (URL) used to access web sites, for example:
URL: http://www.example.net/index.html
Top-level domain: net
Second-level domain: example
Hostname: www
A domain name may point to multiple IP addresses to provide server redundancy for the services offered, a
feature that is used to manage the traffic of large, popular web sites.
A domain name consists of one or more parts, technically called labels, that are conventionally concatenated
and delimited by dots, such as example.com
What is an Addon domain?
Addon domains allow you to control multiple domains from a single account. An addon domain links a new domain name
to a directory in your account, and then stores its files in that directory.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
You must register an addon domain name before visitors can access it.
