CPanel Addon Domain Question

Why is it when I add a new addon domain it just redirected to the sub-directory instead of using the actual domain I entered?

For example...

Let's say I have the domain firstdomain.com and I add an addon domain named "newdomain.com" in firstdomain.com, so a subdirectory is created named "newdomain"

But everytime I go to www.newdomain.com it just redirect to www.firstdomain.com/newdomain, I thought addon domain will use the actual domain I entered not just redirect to the sub-directory, am I getting this wrong?

i'm guessing the addon domain really means adding a subdomain and you probably need another hosting account for another domain.
have you checked with your hosting support?

With Cpanel, technically a new add-on domain domain goes into a subdomain, but it's supposed to come up with the new domain name and be transparent.

Here's the documentation:
