Add-On Domains and Privacy

    Is the main site account of an Add-On Domain visible in any way? For example, my site: https://bonafidebankruptcy.com/ is an Add-On Domain, but I don't want random people to know that. Do I need to get a different level of hosting or do anything else to keep it separate?

    All of that info is fine to be public. What I'm concerned about is the site being identified or associated with my siteground account site, which is a music-related site. I don't want them to be publicly connected.

    A DNS Lookup would show them on the same IP Address. If you changed your Addon domain to a separate cPanel account then you could have a dedicated IP assigned to it to help further separate it. But, other than that an addon domain appears as separate as any other account on a shared host. It's essentially just another VHost entry, and the document root it's pointing to wouldn't be publicly available.
