I have an addon domain. The parent hosting account uses a CMS with an .htaccess file. Both domains (parent and addon) use Cloudflare. The problem is that when I visit the addon url it redirects to the parent domain.
Am I correct in assuming this is because of something in the root .htaccess file? Do I need to add a redirect specific to the addon url?

Can you say a little more about this “add-on” domain? I am not familiar with that term.

It’s similar to a subdomain. It allows you to add separate domains to a single domain hosting account. So for example, if the parent account were http://parent.com http://parent.com/ (/public_html/) I could also have an addon like http://myotherdomain.us http://myotherdomain.us/ (/public_html/myotherdomain.us/ http://myotherdomain.us/), both of which would share the cPanel and resources of the parent account.

Okay, so that sounds like wildcard dns, then. And in CloudFlare, do you have both URLs set as separate domain names, each with their own A record? Or did you set the subdomain as a C record and the main domain as the A record?

They each have their own A record. I just heard from CF support and they assured me the issue isn’t related to their settings.
Out of curiosity I disabled the (CMS) .htaccess in the parent root and sure enough, the addon url is now accessible. So it seems I need to futz about with the .htaccess.

Some progress with this .htaccess file placed in the addon domain root.
This works, but only if I type www, otherwise it redirects.
