How many domain do you haveo n your hosting account?

I am curious if I can really host unlimited domains on my hosting account?

Currently I have around 15-17 domains.

 

As far as i know even the unlimited accounts have a limit if you have huge amount on traffic.

 

I have typically 50+ moderate traffic site on unlimited traffic accounts. My accounts have got suspended once in a while, when the site got at front page of reddit

Basically as long as your site doesn't get huge traffic / does not extract too much of resources (including database), you nay have huge number of domains. But the moment your site start receiving good traffic in short period of time, they will suspend your account. That is my observation with 1and1, ixwebhosting and powweb

 

if it can be unlimited accounts is not limited, as far as I know there is one of my friends who come to the 150 domain is still running smoothly

 

I have 6 domains on one hosting account. I think it is better to have sites in different hosting account. When you have all domains on one account and hosting provider have a downtime - all your sites are dead.

 

it all depends on the resources n memory u use not the domains. i

 

i have 3 shared hosting account. each of them has arround 5 to 8 domain

 

4 resellers, each one with 40 to 50+

 

7-8 domains in a server.

 

Same here! I also have 17-18 domains in a each hosting account!

I bet none of hosting! give you Unlimited Storage! all of these things just used as Marketing Terms

 

I have 17+ domains in my hosting server actually. And lots of others if you count my clients.

 

That's really a question for your host. It also depends on how overloaded their server is and what hosting software and OS they're running.

 

I heared that hostgator and bluehost will suspend your account if you receive too much traffic. I also heared that lunarpages is only sending you an email. I am using lunarpages and I have never got any problems with them.

My friend had lots of traffic and he received an email but they hadn't suspended his account.

 

Usually adding domain to a hosting account is no problem, the prob is when they are all high traffic and the host is an overseller

 

Yup, those and many other hosts promise high numbers but oversell their servers to get those low monthly numbers to work. If you get a client that starts to actually use those numbers, many of those hosts will try to get rid of the client.

I oversell slightly on the webspace but we do also monitor our servers quite closely and don't overload them.

 

I have 20+ domains in my hosting account

 

how do you know if the traffic is too much traffic?
do you check the bandwith?

 

That's ridiculous. The number of domains has nothing to do with anything. I have servers with thousands of domains, and servers that can't even handle one domain on their own. It all depends on the traffic and resources used.

 

This depend on your webmaster.

If you have reseller then you can host 999...+ domains.

 

Yea it matters their traffic. You could put 1000 on it especially if they were all redirects(which they prob would be if you managed them all).
