Hosting two sites on a single shared account?
Hi folks,
I mentioned yesterday in another thread that I'd found this site called dot.tk where you can register a free domain. Anyway, I used it primarily to register a free short domain for my personal finance blog (dolr.tk), but for the hell of it, I was fooling around and found I could get blgr.tk for free as well so I registered that too (I plan to pay for both once I have a little more money to ensure that I don't lose them -- you have to get 25 unique visitors in 90 days to keep your free domains).
I have been toying for a while with the idea of starting a second blog about blogging. While I know it's a very crowded field, it's one I enjoy and I'd treat it more as a hobby which might someday make some money for me. The truth is, my current blog is also something of a hobby-- I started my personal finance blog after a long time client of mine, who had me writing about personal finance was forced to lay off most of his writing staff when some investors pulled out of his site.
I found that I missed writing about it because I'd enjoyed it and my sister suggested I should start my own blog and "keep all the money." It turned out to be much more work than I thought, but since I enjoy the subject, I decided to make it happen and I'm continuing to plow effort into it.
Anyway, I was thinking that I could start a second blog on my shared hosting account with my new free domain to get started with it. This way, there are no costs involved (hosting is paid for two years, the domain is free, though I may spend the $62.50 to register it for 9 years just to be safe and I already have an autoresponder account from Iminica so it's just a matter of the hour or two to set up the blog and get it formatted the way I want).
I was just wondering though-- is there any issue with doing this? I mean do I need to check with my host (it's dreamhost) if I'm allowed to host a second full site (I do seem to be able to since I own several domains for my current blog, thepersonalfinancehelpcenter.com, personalfinancehelpcenter.com and themoneyblog.info, plus now dolr.tk and all of them had the option to do "full hosting" though all of them in fact redirect to thepersonalfinancehelpcenter.com)? Any other issues to consider?
Thanks in advance for any insight.
Eric
