What is the difference between a parked domain and an add-on domain?

A parked domain name is an additional domain name that leads to the same
place as the main domain name for your account.

Addon domains give you the ability to add a second site to your web
space. Unlike a parked domain, which resolves to the same place as your
main site, an addon domain resolves to it's own folder.

Example:

Parked domain:

# You have two domains mysite.com and my-other-site.com.
# mysite.com is the domain of your website and you want to add

my-other-site.com.

# You want them both to go to the same place. In other words, when

someone types either www.mysite.com or www.my-other-site.com they will
go to the same page(s) on your website.

Addon Domain:

# You have two domains mysite.com and my-other-site.com.
# You want the two domains to be totally separate/independent websites.
