    I have a hosting account which support addon domain facility. I just have added another domain but after adding, i have a subdomain with the same addon domain name and it is accessible also. it works for both

    www.newdomain.com
    newdomain.olddomain.com

    I think it will effect on SEO, i dont want the subdomain functionality.. what would be the solution...

    Thanks

    when you set up the addond domain it automatically creates a folder and a subdomain for the main site on the server
    for example if your main site on the server is me.com and you add an addon domain blabla.com, cpanel will create a subdomain blabla.me.com and a folder "blabla" in your root
    i don't think you can disable that

    will Search engine Spiders read the subdomain like

    addondomain.primarydomain.com ????

    Thats why i am worrying because my new site will be on www.addondomain.com and addondomain.primarydomain.com also shows the same website...

    I don't think so.

    Just forget addondomain.primarydomain.com and promote http://www.addondomain.com/

    is there any way i can redirect people if they type

    addondomain.primarydomain.com
    or
    primarydomain.com/addondomain

    to this one

    www.addondomain.com

    I know this can be done via htaccess, but don't know how to do this
