Addon Domain and Parking Domain

Addon Domain dan Parking Domain

In addition to understanding what domains and subdomains are above, you must also be very familiar with these two terms. Usually, web hosting providers will offer you a free addon domain that you can use after purchasing a primary domain.

Addon Domain

Addon domains are domains that are added after you own your main domain. However, addon domains don’t work like subdomains. If the subdomain still uses your main domain name, the addon domain can become an independent domain with very different content. This domain will later go into a sub-directory in your web hosting’s public_html folder. Even so, visitors to your second website may not realize that the domain is an addon domain. This is because it looks like a website with a separate domain. For example, if ervanIT.com is the addon domain of playground.com, then the folder ervanIT.com will be in the public_html folder belonging to playground.com. However, the content on exampledomain.com can be very different from the main domain.

Parking Domain

Parking domain is a term you hear often. However, do you really understand what domain parking is? The term parked domain or parked domain is a domain name that is pointed to your primary domain.

Then, what is the difference with a redirect? Of course it’s different.

Redirect is if you have the main domain example.com, then you create a new domain example.id. The example.id domain is redirected to the main domain, so that visitors who access the example.id domain will be redirected to the example.com Meanwhile, parked domains or parked domains work like this:

You have a main domain example.com then you create a domain example.net. Visitors who access sample.net will see the exact same page content as the example.com domain. However, if there is a link on the website, it will be redirected back to your main domain.
