Short answer: no. We do not allow addon domains or parked domains on our shared SEO hosting accounts. You are free to use both if you run a dedicated server or a VPS with us, where the whole machine is yours to configure.
What addon and parked domains actually are
The two terms get used loosely, so it is worth being precise:
- Addon domain: a completely separate website, with its own document root, hosted under the same cPanel account as your main domain. It looks like an independent site to visitors but it lives on the same account, and therefore on the same IP.
- Parked domain (alias): a second domain name that points at your existing main site. It does not host new content of its own; it simply resolves to the same pages.
Why they are off the table on shared SEO hosting
Our shared plans are built around one principle: one account, one site, one dedicated Class C IP. That is the whole point of the product. Addon domains break that model because they stack several distinct websites onto a single account and a single IP.
For an SEO operator running multiple sites or a network, that is exactly the footprint you are usually trying to avoid. When several of your properties share one IP, they also share one reputation. If one gets flagged, the others sit on the same address next to it. Keeping each site on its own account and its own IP is a defensive measure: it does not make a site rank better on its own, but it stops one site's problems from bleeding into the next and keeps a network from being trivially clustered by a shared address. Google's own guidance on link schemes and manipulative networks in its spam policies is a useful reminder of why footprint discipline matters.
Addon domains: shared IP site A site B site C site D one IP for all four Separate accounts: own IPs site A site B site C site D own IP own IP own IP own IPWhere you can use them: dedicated servers and VPS
On a dedicated SEO server or a VPS, the machine and its IP allocation are yours. You control the accounts, the domains, and how sites map to addresses, so addon domains, aliases and parked names are entirely up to you. That flexibility is one of the reasons operators move up from shared hosting once a network grows. If you want a European footprint or US-based nodes, our SEO VPS plans cover both, and you can spread sites across your own block of IPs rather than piling them onto one.
Common situations and what to do instead
- You want to run a second, unrelated site: order a separate shared account for it so it gets its own dedicated IP, or move both onto a VPS or dedicated server.
- You bought extra domains to protect a brand or catch typos: those are best handled as redirects at the registrar or DNS level rather than as parked domains on a shared account.
- You are consolidating a network: a dedicated server or VPS lets you keep everything under one roof while still giving each site its own address.
If you are not sure which route fits your setup, the Domains FAQ covers registration and transfer questions and points you to the right plan for your network.
