multiple websites

mattux · 20 Aug 2006 at 22:03

hi

is it possible to host multiple websites on one hosting package?
they are totally unrelated sites that wont been linked to each other at all.
i dont want subdomains either they will have thier own domain names, just point to different places on the server.

cheers

If you ask the people who are hosting you for some addon domains then you can assign www.yourdomain.com to whatever folder you want in your web hosting.

Does this feature not have a name? Isn't it something like domain parking? Sometimes it only redirects to the main host name though so you'd have to ask them like has been suggested.

You can do it with DreamHost.com. That's how I run my sites. Basically 20Gb of storage spread across 10 different sites with individual URLS/directories.

Your sites are organised as:

root/domain1.com/public_html/
root/domain2.com/public_html/

Just use the addon domain feature and you can select whether to add/park/mirror a site.

Btw, if you do go with them you can use my referral to get rid of the setup fee. (I dont work for them

)

You can probably do this with most hosts.

It's a piece of cake. I do it with my hosting package on tsohost.

Addon domains.

These are 'Addon ddomains' by any host using cPanel and most hosts will provide you with one or more.

They have their own databases, emails, FTP login, webstats etc - upto the limits of the parent account's resources

Those are parked domains, aka aliases
