How to use "Addon domain" feature in cpanel?

[John]

The Addon Domain Maintenance menu allows you to add and remove addon domains to your account. An addon domain allows you to reach a subdomain when entering the name of the addon domain into a browser. his means that you can host additional domains from your account, if allowed by your hosting provider. Any current addon domains will be listed under Current Addon Domains.

For example, if domain2.com is an addon domain on sub.domain.com, going to http://www.domain2.com in a browser will bring up sub.domain.com (domain.com/sub).
