You can use them to save money. Withaddondomains, you don't have to purchase anadditionalhosting account for each domain youoperate. Youcan simply create addon domainsand split yourexisting account's resources.

Beside this, do you have to buy hosting for each domain?
To build a website you will need bothadomain name and web hosting account. Buyingadomain name alone only gives you right to usethatparticular domain name for a specific period (usually1year). You need web hosting to store yourwebsite'sfiles. You can also buy both thedomain andhosting from the same company.
It is not possible to provide two domain namesforthe same Server IP address and gettwodifferent SSL certificates (one for each domainname). Alsonote that the use of Host Headers (which is how youcan usea single IP for more than one SSL enableddomain) isnot recommended for E-Commerce sites.
