You can create Add-on domains, subdomains and even Parked domains using cPanel.
1. Parked Domains
Parked domains are domains which are just "Parked" on to the main domain.
Suppose that you have a domain maindomain.com with cPanel. Now you want xyz.com to serve as an alias for your "maindomain.com", so that whenever any one opens the xyz.com he'll be directed to the maindomain.com Then first you need to update the nameservers for the domain : xyz.com so that they point to the same nameservers as the ones for maindomain.com.
Now goto the maindomain.com's cPanel. Click on the parked domains -> And add the domain xyz.com there. Now the domain xyz.com will be parked on the maindomain.com
Remember that you need to register/own the domain xyz.com before you do this.
2. Sub Domain
A subdomain will be in the form sudomain.maindomain.com. When you create a subdomain using cPanel it will create a directory in your public_html folder. You should out all your subdomain folder in that directory.
In our case our maindomain is "maindomain.com" and the subdomain is "subdomain". Go to cPanel of "maindomain.com" and then click on Sub Domains give the name "subdomain" and then click on "Add" you can even setup a redirection for this domain from here.
(If the directory name is "sub" )The Subdomain can be accessed using:
sub.maindomain.com
OR
maindomain.com/sub/
3. Addon Domain
Addon domain is almost the same as Sub Domain but in case of addon domain the domain should be already registered by you and the nameservers for that addon domain should be pointing the same nameserves as the maindomain.com.
The addon domain will also be hosted on a folder in the public_html folder. (in our case the folder name is addon) You can access the addon domain using:
addon.com
OR
maindomain.com/addon/
OR
addon.maindomain.com
