asks for the name you wish to use. MAKE SURE the subdomain
name you give it doesn't have a folder already named
that name. If it does the sub will not work. Example...
I want to create the subdomain test.CheapyWeb.com so
my sub name is going to be test. If I already have a
folder in my ftp named test I need to delete it or rename
it to something different before I create the subdomain
with the test name from cpanel.
Q. What is a subdomain?\
A. www.domain.com is a domain name. A subdomain is anything
that replaces the www in a domain name.forum.aol.com
is a subdomain. www.forum.aol.com is not a subdomain.

Addon
Domains
Q.
What is an addon domain?
A. An addon domain is a fully functional domain that
will work out of a folder in your main sites ftp.
Q.
READ THIS BEFORE
SETTING UP AN ADDON DOMAIN!
You cannot create an addon domain if your dns hasn't
proprograted to the server already. So after you change
the sites dns you are trying to add you will need to
wait 24-48 hours before attempting to create your addon
domain.
A. There
are three fields cpanel asks for when creating an addon
domain.
1.
"New Domain Name:"
You will put in the newdomain.com do not put www in
the name!
2.
"Username/directory/subdomain
Name:" This will be the folder cpanel creates in
your main accounts ftp. MAKE SURE that the name you
give it doesn't already have a folder. Example... If
you want to give it the username chris. You cannot have
a folder in your account named chris already. If you
do and still try creating the username for the addon
domain to be chris you will mess a lot of things up!!!
3.
"Password:" fill in any
password you want here.
Q.
Help I added an addon domain why did it say subdomain
added?!!?
A. It creates it as a subdomain by creating the folder
within your main sites ftp. Please ignore this! It is
a fully functional domain name. It is only called a
subdomain when in fact it is an addon domain.
