What is the difference between multiple domains, add-on domains, and pointers?

0

“Multiple domains” will allow you to host multiple websites, each with their own separate control panel. This is handy if you have a personal site and a business website and want to keep them completely separate for privacy reasons. “Add-on domains” are different domain names that share the same hosting account and control panel. The Standard, Silver, and Gold plans all allow up to 10 “add-on” domains. Add-on domains share the same space, but you can set up a subdirectory and add a different domain to it. For example, say your primary domain is domain1.com. But you have a completely different site called domain2.com. You can set up a /myothersite subdomain, and then from within the Control Panel, point domain2.com directly to /myothersite. That way the sites appear to be completely separate but you are actually sharing the same disk space, bandwidth, FTP account and control panel. Note: You can set up email accounts for each domain.
