Default Questions about addon domain and more than one hosting package

Addon Domain
I am now running a website with my baby package. I need to create another one and make a new domain registration somewhere else (not at hostgator), lets say my_second_domain.com. Now I want this address to target my subfolder my_second_site. I know this is possible for it is in the cPanel. Now my question is: how about my email address, can I create an email my_name@my_second_domain.com?

More than one hosting package
Let us say I want my_second_domain.com to target a new hosting package (in which hostgator will be more happy of course), will I use the same hostgator username I used in my present package or do I need to create a new username for another package?

Or how about going from
baby to swamp then used addon domain to accommodate the future demand of my_second_domain.com. How about the transfer procedure? Will the migration from baby to swamp will make my site offline for an hour or so? I cannot afford that... but if it only take a minute or less, then its just fine.

Yes you can.

You can upgrade whenever you wish or see the need. There is no server change unless you move to a reseller or dedicated account so no downtime. HG just changes your account settings and billing

Thank you striddy for the quick reply and for that helpful link, it is now clear to me. I still wait for an answer of my second query: More than one hosting package

Thank you again...

You would need to use a different username for the second package. Another advantage of this method would be that it would likely be on a different server (unless you just bought the first account recently.) It would be less likely for both domains to be down if they are on separate servers.

Upgrading from Baby to Swamp does not require a server move so the site would not be down for any time at all. HG would just adjust the account settings.
