Sub-domains being indexed

I hope this is the right place to ask this so please forgive me if not... I have several domains using Cpanel. We'll call my main domain "Domain1". I've added several add-on domains to Domain1 and the automatically get added as sub-domains. Well, Google has took it upon itself to index my domains as part of the main domain. So if I search I'll get "Domain2.Domain1.com" I don't want this. I need to make sure Domain2 never gets seen as part of Domain1. I've searched and haven't found a clear answer on this. Some say exclude it in Google, other say a robots.txt file and yet still find more about a .htaccess file. Can someone point me to a clear answer?? Thanks!! Oh, and I did ask my host and they said it can't be done and that I have to sign up for a whole new account.

  The docs should be useful: Addon Domains - Documentation - cPanel Documentation Do you see an option to modify the doc root for the addon domain in your cPanel?

  Yes, I can do that.. Would that stop Google from indexing it though? Cause I've got one of my other domains in a directory off the root called "domains" and not under the public_html directory. But it'll still resolve if I use Domain3.Domain1.com.

  When you attempt to add an addon domain, in the doc root section of the form, does it autofill with "public_html/addondomainexample.com? If yes, and you're not able to modify doc root, your Hosting Provider may have the option enabled in WebHost Manager to prevent it.
