Default Unlimited Domains

Now I know I sound like a complete idiot right now, but I was wondering when it says unlimited domains, what type of domains does it refer to? Does it mean plain .com and .net domains or sub domains such as example.example.com?
I mean I love the prices and I like how you only have one report on ripoffreport.com(because he didn't know how to use webhosts). Anyway and help on this is highly appreciated,
Vinny

Did you find what you need? (unlimited domains and, I think, 999 subdomains)

Hmm... I was told (by a different host) that 999 is simply the largest number that it can display there, and that you can actually exceed it but it will still only show 999/999 if you do.

(Not that I'd ever try to get that many created, even with a fire-breathing Dedi, let alone a Shared Plan.)

Just remember that the unlimited domains is not exactly unlimited. You would find the actual limit to be around 24,000.

24,000 domains? Wow, that's pretty much right next to unlimited. I don't think ANYBODY will ever need that many.

I don't think so Well maybe if you make a lot of A records point to billions of IPS.

Well, if it took someone five minutes to add an add-on and s/he worked 12 hours a day, seven days a week, it would take almost six months to fill up that ol' cPanel, and if each domain had one (1) page, the whole thing would exceed the innodes limit before any graphics, style sheets, or custom error pages.

24,000 domains would cost alot too. It would be a headache to manage them all.

I made the mistake once to add over 1000 domains under just one cPanel. Big mistake! cPanel cannot handle this many addon domains, some will go broken and you cannot access them.

If you need to host this many domains, VHM is the choice.http://punctdigital.ro/stat1.jpg
