With the Addon domain feature in cPanel you can create a separate domain next to your main domain on your account. Every addon domain also creates a subdomain. An addon domain is basically a subdomain that can also be accessed by the full domain. The HTML content of a subdomain goes into a subfolder of the /public_html/ folder in your main account. So for the visitor, they only see the full domain in the browser bar. So if you would add a domain called widgets.com and your main domain is yourdomain.com, cPanel creates a subdomain called widgets.bigbusiness.com. All the content which goes in the /public_html/widgets/ directory will be visible via your browser under widgets.yourdomain.com and widgets.com You can create POP mail accounts with widgets.com and also the FTP can be accessed with widgets.com (user for FTP should be any-id@yourdomain.com) Make sure that you also update the nameservers for your addon domain at your registrar with the same nameservers as for your main domain ,Please refer to your welcome email
