1 hosting account per website?

16 years ago

Hi,

You can absolutely have several domains on the same hosting account.
I don't know about godaddy. I'm using Justhost and Hostgator and both accounts allow me to add unlimited domains.

If your account allows this also and you have cpanel, I could give you detailed instructions on how to set it up. (send PM, in case I don't find this thread again.)

Thanks

You can go with hostgator and can host unlimited websites

there Unlimited website hosting plain is tart with some 9.99$ per month, its not a big ammount if you have more then 10 or 20 websites to start

Thanks

I currently use the economy hosting plan from godaddy for my 1 website I have up and it allows me to add domains but it just points to my current website. I want 10 different websites.

Hope that makes sense. And where would and what plan would you recommend me to get?

I really recommended HOSTGATOR with Baby Plan..you can host unlimited site on that hosting.
Hostgator has a very great support, you can ask for assist anytime when have a problem

Thanks

awesome thanks guys, i just read that my current plan at godaddy only allows 1 website so I would have to upgrade. I've been thinking of switching to a different hosting plan anyways so I think I will do that shortly

Thanks

Remember when you were little and you heard about what happens to people who carry all their eggs in one basket?

Just because it's possible to point a billion domains to a single hosting account doesn't mean it's a good idea.

If one site goes down, goes viral, goes on vacation, your admin fubars, etc., your other sites will suffer. Also, no matter how freaking good the hosting company is, they all go down from time to time.

Just as with investing, it's wise to diversify. Get a few different hosting accounts with a few different providers; heck, hosting is basically a commodity now days, so as long as you get a few solid providers, you won't notice a big difference in price and features.

  If you have less than 10 websites or blogs, use hostgator will do. If you have more than that or you plan to sell web space, you should consider using the reseller account. They are faster and bigger in space.

You can with GoDaddy. Set up a deluxe hosting package. Then set up different databases for each blog or site. Pretty simple, plus they can walk you through it as well.

There is a way with .htaccess to do this on a Godaddy single account.
Each website gets it's own starting directory that is located in the root directory.
You then redirect the incoming request to the appropriate directory with .htaccess. I have been doing this for years for low profile sites.
This would handle 3 different sites. Rinse and repeat for more.

#
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} banana.com
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !directory1/
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ directory1/$1 [L]
#
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} orange.com
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !directory2/
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ directory2/$1 [L]
#
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} grapefruit.com
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !directory3/
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ directory3/$1 [L]

hostgator and godaddy are recommended hosts. Hostgator is each to operate while godaddy is slightly complicated. But you can host multiple websites under single account on both the hosts.
