Multiple Domain Website Hosting - Ways You Can Host Multiple Websites in One Account

By J.F. Lucero

Do you ever wonder if you can host multiple domains and sites on a single hosting account? Well, the answer is yes. This could be made possible by using one of the hosting features called "add-on domains." Many web hosting providers will offer you one or more free add-on domains with the hosting account you purchase from them. Having this feature will allow you to add another domain to your hosting account and host it without paying additional fees. This is one way to inexpensively host several domains with only one hosting account.

Getting yourself a reseller hosting account is also a great way to host multiple websites on one account. Aside from this, you can also sell web hosting accounts to other webmasters. Your reseller account provides you a Control Panel which you can use to set-up individual accounts for every customer. If you decide to use it for personal use, you can set-up an individual control panel for every domain name that you have. Selling website hosting is also a great way to make money. That is the reason why a lot of online entrepreneurs already entered the web hosting business. A reseller account also comes with many great features like unlimited email accounts and subdomains. The features that you get will depend on the kind of reseller plan you sign on with.

There are also what we call the virtual private servers and dedicated servers. If you want more control over your hosting options and you need multiple domain support, a virtual server is what you can consider. It is called virtual server because the actual server is virtually located. If you want to run your e-commerce site, host multiple domains, set-up an intranet, and others, a Virtual Private Server is what you need.

The dedicated server on the other hand, is a single computer server which aims to support the needs of a network. A dedicated server hosting plan is normally more expensive than a virtual private server plan. Signing-up for a dedicated server hosting plan will allow you to fully customize or build your own dedicated server. You can also just choose and pay only for the features you need. One advantage of having your own dedicated server is it doesn't put you on the risk of the server being congested because of other people's bandwidth.

So before you sign-up for a web hosting account, it is important that you evaluate first your needs and then decide what kind of web hosting plan that fits for you.
