Q. How do I access add-on domains?
Add-on domains can be accessed via three ways:
1) http://www.<addondomain>.com
2) http://www.<primarydomain>.com/<username>
3) http://<username>.<primarydomain>.com
<addondomain> - add-on domain name you created.
<username> - refers to the directory/username you created for the add-on domain. <primarydomain> - refers to your main domain name on which you setup the add-on domain.
Option 1 may not be accessible until the domain name has been successfully transferred and the nameserver changes propagated across the Internet, this could take up to 72hrs.
