According To Hostgator
An addon domain is a fully functional domain that can be created from within your control panel. Think of it as having multiple hosting packages all sharing the same control panel. You can give them email addresses, forwarders, and more the same way you do for your main domain on the account.
The addon domain will be shown in your Primary Domain (according to your path setting). These 3 things happen when you create an addon Domain.
- 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,
