a few questions about addon domains in cpanel...

1) do i switch the nameservers BEFORE, or AFTER you create the add-on domain? I'm assuming its after, just like regular hosting.

2) can i create mailboxes/forwards using the add-on domain? If not, what happens to the mail that comes into the addon domain?

Thanks.

1) After
2) Yes you can :D

1.) Actually it doesn't matter. You could switch the nameservers, two weeks after you create the domain name, or two weeks before you do.

However, if you were to email your add-on domain, from the domain that you're adding it on to, you would not get the email. This is due to the fact that the domain name is listed in the configuration files, so it's thinking the site is hosted locally.
