In this article we will list the main differences between parked and addon domains:
Parked domain :
pros:
- free; you can park as many domains as you want
- ideal for multiple domains sharing the same website
cons:
- cannot be used for a separate website
- shares the logs of the main domain
- shares the stats of the main domain
Addon domain :
pros:
- can be used for a website separate than the main one
- uses separate logs
- uses separate stats
- has its own VirtualHost entry in the Apache configuration
cons:
- paid; you have to purchase an addon slot to host an addon domain
- shares the same hosting space as the main website
