Web Hosting Talk : Web Hosting Main Forums : Web Hosting : Addon Domains

[justjohn]

Been browsing the site and would value your opinions.
Addon domains are supplied by some webhosts and not others, one of the hosts who does not supply any addon domains puts across a good argument that they can overload a server if they get out of control.
How do others apparently manage these with no problems?
TIA

Some hosting providers limit the amount of add-on domains an account can create. Personally I've never had a problem with any sort of overload with add-on domains. I've seen quite a few companies offering unlimited add-on domains, so it's really just a preference. If you need add-on domains, then you're definitely going to be able to find a provider. There shouldn't be much of a problem with server load.

Usually when people sell unlimited space with unlimited addon domains, some people tend to believe they can host a 1000 sites and have a 1tb public_html folder - that tends to cause problems lol
and just like JJ - i've never had a problem with overloading of addon-domains either.

Addon domains are not usually a problem with overloading unless the host is offering unlimited webspace and bandwidth and is not monitoring the servers correctly.

costs for a small reseller package are down now so if you need to not just addon domains to the same website it wont cost much more to get a small reseller from someone for sure
