Multiple domain hosing
If I want to host multiple domains on one account, do I need to buy a reseller instead of a shared hosting account?

It is possible to host multiple domains under some non-reseller accounts. Cpanel just added this feature about a month ago. I believe it was also already available with hsphere. Your best bet is to just ask your perspective web hosting provider.

Yes, it is possible to host multiple domains without a reseller account. Enfact a lot of people look for this service as they don't require a lot of the features of a reseller account such as personal name servers or unlimited domains, which without, helps bring the price down a lot. If you do a search around the forums you will be able to locate such companies

Pagezone has many plans holding multiple domains. It seems to become more and more common these days. Still, if you have A LOT of domains, a reseller account offers more for less. You still don't have to become a reseller...

hi,
being inexperienced, maybe i shouldn't chime in but i have read a lot of posts about reseller accounts and multi-domain accounts and if i'm understanding this whole thing correctly, you actually have more control over each domain if you use a reseller account.
but i always reserve the right to be wrong"If you come to a fork in the road...take it"

gtrplayer, yes... you do have more control with a reseller account (and this is coming from a host who currently does not offer such plans YET). WHY? Because with most reseller accounts you get an account manager that allows you to create, set sizes, of new accounts and such within your alloted space. AS with a typical package you just give the host a heads up about your new domain and they'll set it up for you within a reasonable amount of time.

Dear friend.... Some hosting companies are offering virtual hosing accounts, which allow you to host multiple domains under an account. It's not really necessary to get a reseller account if you just want to host 2-3 domains.
Have a look at request forum and you'll find plenty of good web hosting providers, which will offer you the package which meets your needs.Amir Golestan

a lot of companies that use Plesk offer this since its so easy to allow users to control multiple domains with the Plesk control panel. I personally am very impressed with how Plesk has worked in this regard.

I've found that "reseller account", "unlimited domains", or "multiple domains" aren't any type of standard. It's hard to even generalize what these mean from host to host.

Although, god forbid anyone ever trademark or think they can trademark the term "unlimited domains" too.Last edited by Aussie Bob; 08-22-2002 at 09:20 PM.

just to clarify again, by having multiple domain in normal web hosting plan, we are not able to have email accounts for each of the domains??
if only pointing to subdomain, is that means other URL need to do cloaking or url binding to the subdomain?
thanksAffordable Web Hosting @ www.qoolhost.com

no no.. multiple domain support means that you should be able to get your own control panel, email, sql databases, etc... (like a new account)
i didnt understand your 2nd question.. please clarify

Maybe it's just a fancy image for looks or something.
I wonder if they really did get the phrase trademarked.
Sorry didn't mean to go off topic.

1) "Host Unlimited Domains" has been used by us in print since 1999. We go tthe term from our colo provider. They used it in 1998. So when we get confronted, we show prior use.
Also, do a search at Google for this Term.
2) "Private Label Reseller". Do a search for the Term also. Oh Yeah. You will see a company called Hostway. Yeah, they have been using it for years. Long before MCHost has been around.
There will never be anyway to enforce these TMs. Hence, it was a waste of money to register them. (If he even did).

I think he registered them more for protection so people couldn't enforce them against him, as oppose to them enforcing it on others. I don't believe they plan to do that and as you point out, it would be difficult. But best leave it up to Marc to discuss this...

I thought that this thread was about Multiple Domain Hosting and not about MCHost's trademarks
