I want to develop several sites (with different domains) for myself and I am not interesting in reselling accounts.
The sites will start small and build up in time traffic and size. Scripts are mainly forum scripts. 1. Can I use an Baby hosting account with unlimited domains to host several personal sites with different domains or do I need a reseller? 2. Is there a difference in resources allocation between simple hosting and reseller (server load ... not space and bandwidth ) ? I most probably buy one account with you but dont want to spend my money on to much upfront for no use. The sites I will put there will start from scratch and only one has some trafic but very low. 3. And if i get lucky and get sudden huge traffic how fast can I upgrade to a new account that support this traffic (probably dedicated) ?Can this be made as a deal as if traffic/load reach some level I get billed and upgraded automatic to a better account? I do want my site to be up and running even if traffic spikes. Many thanks |

1, sure u can!!
2, yes, there is.On baby all your sites are limited to the resources of 1 user, while on reseller when you create an Cpanel account to each domain. every site has the limit of 1 user. 3. from shared to reseller it is pretty easy to do & doesn't take too much time. You can also upgrade to larger reseller account pretty easily, but that will be useless, as the problem should be with resource use & not the # of accounts &/or space/bandwidth. moving to dedicated might take up to 48hrs, tho there are records of dedicated being ready in less than one hour + the time of the DNS to propagate.

Thanks for super fast answer. Thank you also for the "disclaimer" Now is clear.
I will go for baby and depending on resources eaten I will upgrade later on. I go see how many files/nodes forum has

Sometimes we can get you set up pretty quick with a dedi. It just depends how many orders are ahead of you, special set ups instructions, if you need to verify etc. The security department usually lets us know if we need to put a rush on an order for issues like resource/traffic spikes.

I have a similar question..
I have a hatchling account and was wondering if I can host multiple websites which will be for one user which is myself? Is this possible or do I have to purchase several accounts one for each domain or website? Thanks Seth Cooper Back Muscle Pain |

If you want to host multiple domains, you will need at least a baby plan.
