An addon domain is a fully working domain that you may set up from your control panel. This addon domain is a new, distinct website housed in a new subdirectory on your account, allowing you to host several domains from a single control panel. You may provide email addresses, forwarders, and other services to an addon domain in the same manner that you can to a principal (main) domain on the account.
When you create an Addon domain, 3 things happen:
A folder is created in the ‘public_html‘ directory
A subdomain is created for the primary domain and attached to the new folder
The new domain name is associated with the subdomain
For example, if the primary domain was ‘abc.com‘ and you assign the Addon Domain' 123.com‘ to the folder ‘123', the following routes (URLs) would be true:
All three of these paths would access the same directory and show the same website. However, in concern to your website's viewers going to 123.com, there is no evidence that they are being routed through 123.abc.com, and everything will function as normal.
