Hosting multiple websites

stocks · #1 06-29-2007, 02:00 PM

Hey fellas hows it going yesterday I ordered the Baby Croc plan and I'm pretty sure I could host multiple websites with that plan but now I'm not 100% sure so my first question would be can I have multiple sites with that plan.

If I can do anyone know how to go about setting up multiple websites because I've been messing around with it for a couple hours now and I have no idea how to do it.

Thanks

You're mistaking the unlimited domains HG offers for that package...

what that means is you can have multible urls...
yourdomain1.com
yourdomain2.com
all pointing to the same web site you have.

If you want multiple websites you'll have to set up domain forwarders or upgrade to a reseller package.

Yes you can host multiple websites. They will be sub folders inside your webspace and are called add-on domains. You can find the instructions in HG's support center for add-on domains.
They can all be accessed by the domain name

You can find the instructions here along with a link to a video tutorial

Heres a link to help you...

This will allow your other domains to appear as seperate websites.

But I'm not too sure about it as I started wth reseller.

If you're creating a website for a client you wont have a cpanel or allow them to manage anything on their own, you'll have to do it all.

Then I would like to suggest politely that you refrain from providing misleading answers to questions about other plans, such as your first post in this thread.

yup. thought to point out the same mistake at this line

fact is that you will have multiple url.. each with own websites.
use the cpanel > addon domain > to add new domain name (website)

Yes, my mistake. I was thinking he would want it with additional accounts like in the reseller packs.
