Sub domain

A sub-do-main is a second website with its own unique content, but there is no new domain name.

• Let’s say your Sub domain is com.
• You install an E-Commerce and put in a directory calledcom/commerce/.
• You can turn the directory commerce into a sub-domain by
  adding it as a sub-domain from your Control Panel.
• Now you can access your E-Commerce as either com/commerce OR commerce.domain.com

Parked Domain

A parked domain is NOT a unique website, but it is a masked forward to the primary domain name of your cPanel account.

• You have several domains com,domain.org, domain.biz, and domain.net.
• com is the domain of your website and you
  want to add domain.org, domain.biz, and domain.net.
• You want them both to go to the same place. In other words, when
  someone types either com,domain.org,domain.biz or domain.net they will go to the same page(s) on your
  website.
• In order to have additional parked domains you need to purchase the
  additional domain(s).
• Domain parking is the registration of an Internet domain name without that domain being associated with any services such as e-mail or a website.
• This may have been done with a view to reserving the domain name for future development, and to protect against the possibility of cybersquatting.

Add-On Domains (Only for Linux Hosting Plan) 

An addon domain is a second website, with its own unique content. This type of domain does require you to register the new domain name before you can host it

• You have two domain com and addondomain.com.
• You want the two domain to be totally separate/independent
• In order to have additional add-on domain, you need to purchase the
  additional domain(s).

FTP Instruction

File Transfer Protocol (FTP) is a set of rules used by networked computers to speak to each other.  Besides,  FTP is the language used by computers on the TCP / IP network (such as the Internet) to transfer files to and from each other.

You’ve probably already experienced FTP on the net. Have you ever downloaded a modern nightly build of Firefox or downloaded MP3s from a kid’s personal server in Sweden? So you just used FTP without even knowing it. Today’s web browsers allow you to download files from the browser window via FTP. It’s very convenient, and it’s perfect when you need to access a file or two, but the browser-download approach doesn’t offer a lot of flexibility. You can’t upload, force a transfer mode, or ask the server any questions you might have. And don’t even get me started on the issue of security. But if you’re doing any kind of web development, you need all that kind of web creation.

ftp://(Server IP)

First, view your site web hosting by using IP, please enter ftp://(Server IP)/~(Username)/ at your browser.

Nevertheless, when your domain name is transferred and running in your browser, the Web Hosting Guide will allow you to use your host name.

ftp://ftp.(Domain)

User name and password are the same as the CPanel.

IMPORTANT: Make sure you upload your files to the PUBLIC_HTML or www directory on the server otherwise they will not be visible on the internet. Save your homepage as an “index” file, e.g. index.htm, index.html, etc. Learn how to edit host file.

Lastly, We suggest you to download File Zilla from Download FileZilla client if you do not already have an ftp client. Learn more

In the Domain Name Server (DNS) hierarchy, a sub-domain is a domain that is part of a broader domain name. A DNS hierarchy consists of the highest root-level domain, the first-level domain below followed by second-level domains and subdomains at last.

Valid sub-domains as defined in RFC 1034 that contain any letter or number as well as-‘ ‘(hyphen). Sub-domain must start with an alphabet character. Sub-domains are case-insensitive, and ‘ABC.com’ is the same as ‘abc.COM’ when the upper and lower case characters are real.

Length of sub domain
The length of a  sub-domain label is limited to 63 characters, although there is an arbitrary number of subdomain labels in the domain name.

Structure
“Dots” seperated the Sub-Domains and read in descending detail from left to right. It contains all of the previous subdomains and all of the following subdomains. Both subdomains are composed of a second-level domain, which in effect includes the top-level domain.

For this case, the top-level domain is ‘tld’ and the second-level domain is ‘domain.’The sub-domain enclosed in the tree structure within the ‘domain.’

Popular real-life examples would be news.google.com, mail.yahoo.com and en.wikipedia.org. In which news, mail and en are subdomains, respectively. Learn more.
