Answer

Our customers can host an unlimited number of domains on their hosting accounts. These domains can either be addon domains or parked domains.

Parked domains are so-called aliases: they all replicate the contents of the customer's main domain.
Addon domains are domains that have their own content.

For example you have an account on which you host only one domain (main domain) - a.com and it is devoted lets say to selling ice-cream. After some time you decide to open another site (b.com) under the same account say that sells shoes.

You can create an addon domain name for this website through your cPanel.
