about add-on domain

[Tideas]

When an add-on domain is created, there's a directory for it. Does what usually go into public_html go into that directory?

for example, /root/public_html should go into /root/public_html/domainname/ ?

I think you can point your addon domain to wherever you want inside your account.

at what point do I point it? Is it when I'm creating the add-on domain on cpanel?

When you create an "Addon domain", it asks you to which directory under your public_html you want to point it, where all the files of that domain will be hosted.
If what you want is to access your main site (public_html), with another domain name you need to use a "Parked Domain".

 

[Tideas]

right, so everything that should belong to a usual website under public_html should go into the directory where yuo point it to when you first make the addon domain right?

 

[Fedlerner]

That's right. The directory you point the "Addon Domain" will work as the "public_html" for that Added domain.
