What is addon domain?

The addon domain is an additional, hence the name, fully functional domain that can be added to a hosting from within its control panel.  It is used to host multiple domains on a single hosting account representing a new, stand-alone website in a separate directory on the account.

Why do I need an addon domain? ?

If it is desired to create a different site than the one already owned and the hosting account allows the addition of an addon domain, then this may be the best solution.
