Hi everyone, In my hosting there is an option for ad on domains, which I thought was just the ability to host a certain number of domains separately under one hosting account. But my host is creating the domains as what appear to be subdomains and is even adding numbers to indicate subdomain creation. There are separate sections for ad on domains and subdomains, and I am creating the ad on domain in the correct section. The ad on domains are created under the root/home directory. When I go to install wordpress with fantastico in cpanel the program has a pull down menu to indicate which domain you want to install wp on. After I create the add on domain, the pull down provides me with mynewaddon.com and then it provides me with mynewaddon.1stdomaininmyaccount.com. The latter is what I know to be a subdomain. Does anyone have any idea why subdomains are being created when I am just adding domains on to my account? I'd like to keep these blogs separate if possible and I am not quite sure if what I am doing is making them all extensions of the first domain I added to the account. Well, any thoughts appreciated. Thanks.
Those are likely just subdomains for you to later on point an additional domain name. Basically just places for you to place the Web site/blog that will be associated with the addon domain that later on gets poitned to that subdomain.
Are you saying that the addon domain is being properly created, and that when it is created a subdomain for the addon is automatically being created to do whatever with at a later date?
