I think a parked domain is a domain that you have registered, but haven't published anything at that domain. 'Parking' the domain means that your host will put a placeholder page at that domain to inform people who visit it that it has been registered. What you describe above is an addon domain I think, wherein you can store multiple websites in the same hosting account.

Check what your host offers by way of backups - often this is done on a regular basis anyway.

Subdomains allow URLs such as http://sales.millwall.com and http://contact.millwall.com to point at sub-directories sales/ and contact/ inside your webspace. An addon domain I described above.

SSL is for secure pages but you will have to see what your host provides by way of shared certificates and how much this costs.

Yep!

Not sure what this is.

pgp is used mainly for encrypting email, I suppose this allows you to set up different keys for different addresses etc.

At a guess this allows you to control what filetypes do what under apache - for example you could set it up so that html files are parsed as php as well as .php files.

What kinds of file are supported, eg flash, java applets, MIDI files, shockwave etc.

A cron job is like a scheduled task, so you can set a cron job to run a particular one of your scripts every day/hour/ 10 minutes.

Ways of looking at various logs?

Secure SHell allows you to log in to the webserver directly and run commands at the UNIX/Windows command prompt. You have to be familiar with the commands to enter for this to be of any use to you.

Depends on the error! If you think there's a problem, ask your host.

This info may well be in one of the various log files you can access.

0beron did a great job at anwering your questions, I'll just touch up on the points he wasn't so sure about.

A parked domain will simply point to your main domain.

cPanel allows you to backup your site and databases. You can download the backups via FTP

You need to purchase an SSL certificate.

You can setup which page is shown by default if a page is not specified. (index.php, index.html etc..)

Every thing that happens on your site is logged into a file. This allows you to download the logs, delete them etc.

I have no idea....

cPanel comes with 3 stats packages, if your host has them enabled. These will allow you to view site statistics such as visitors, referrers, ips, geo etc.. The three packages are awstats, webalizer and analog. Awstats is the best IMO

Also if you are using a newer version of cPanel you can log into the main page and scroll down to where it says Documentation on the left, clicking on this will let you view the help documents which come with cPanel, and will provide you with more details on the answers the folks above so curteously gave you.
