Types of Domains

Portal Home > Knowledgebase > cPanel > Types of Domains

cPanel has 4 types of domains. They are outlines below:

Main Domain: This is the primary domain on your account. It is the one you provided during signup.

Parked Domain: A parked domain points to the same website as your main domain. For example, if your main domain is example.com and you also own the domain example.org, adding it as a parked domain would show the same site as example.com.

Addon Domain: This domain will load a different website than your main domain. cPanel will ask you for a folder it should use as the main folder for that domain.

Sub Domain: These are on top of existing domains. For example, you can have anythinghere.example.com. cPanel will ask you for a folder it should use for that domain, similar to the addon domain.
