I have a RaQ, but I'm running out of space and hosted enough virtual sites and I need more raqs..

but I don't want a different domain name

I still want my domain to have a second server without getting a different domain name

oh and it's from rackshack

Is there any solution for this problem?

You will need clustering software. There are a variety of clustering solutions available for Linux based machines. This will allow you to network many boxes and treat it as one machine. The problem is that this requires a fair amount of administration and can be expensive to set up. Also, this would probably break the Raqs admin control panel.


Question. If you are reselling virtual sites, don't they have their own domain names?

If so, you can get a second machine and simply use its IP address. Virtual sites will get resolved to this machine as long as you have DNS set up properly. This machine does not need to have its own domain name outside of what you give for the hosted sites. You can administer it by using its IP address.
