The addon domain uses the main/primary domain name to be properly used and to work as it should be as its backbone. It uses the main domain as its place setter and works off of it. The parked domains sit on top of the main domain and doesn’t do anything but a true re-direct as the domain is a redirect to the main domain cause its parked on top of it; allowing it to forward over to the primary domain.
