A domain name is also called host names and it is their identity in the World Wide Web or the Internet. It is also one of the basic elements in Uniform Resource Locators or URL. The most used domain names are .com, .org and .net. You can own a domain name by purchasing a domain from a web hosting service. It identifies ownership of a website and it aims to easily address and recognize Internet resources. An FTP or File Transfer Protocol comes along with a domain name. The FTP is responsible for the transferring of the files between computers to the network.

cPanel is an example of a web hosting service that can allow you to add domains in your account. It has an easy to use, point and click hosting platform and you can create an add-on domain to your account. An add-on domain lets you host additional domain account if it is authorized by your web hosting provider. PGP keys, crontrab tasks, mail and mailing lists and FTP accounts are some of the Add-Ons that cPanel provides. It also has several add-ons that can be purchased for an additional fee.
