Multiple domain hosting?

Discussion in 'Web Hosting' started by thatedeguy, Jan 12, 2007.

    is there any hosting companies that will do multiple domains without having to redirect them all to subdomains? I've done the redirection bit and it always seems to break something. It's so much easier to have one hosting account and bill though.

    Any suggestions?

    Addon domains done through cPanel or DirectAdmin seem to work just fine. Completely transparent to the surfer. There are a ton of companies that allow that.

    There are a few that will give your a different cPanel for each but with only one bill to pay.

    Yes, you should have no problem with cPanel addon domains...just let it setup the way it does and don't mess with the linked subdomains.

    I'd recommend HostGator $10/mo plan. Check HostGator Reviews and Coupons by DP users.

    Dreamhost.com - Unlimited domains, unlimited subdomains in one account.
    Bluehost.com - 1+5 domains, 25 subdomains in one account(minimum).

    I have my sites hosted in both of them and I am quite satisfied with their service. :)

    I find hostgator to be quite good. I am hosting over 20 sites currently on one reseller account. The live chat needs improvement so if you need support email them instead, they are generally fast to reply and usually get the job done.

    I did a little digging and found that I needed to add the domains to my hosting account instead of forwarding them. It required a bit of a upgrade to the hosting account, but it works amazingly now.
    Thanks everyone!

    The host I use currently is GoDaddy. Although the more traffic I get, the more I'm second guessing that. Sometimes the sites are a little slow for my liking.

    It can be done.

    For years I thought cPanel had a screwy way of doing addon domains because the process is a bit more complicated when the directory already exists and that was the way I did it the first few times.

    It has been a while. I think the process goes like this:
    You create a subdomain and point it at the directory.
    Then you addon your domain and point it at the subdomain.

    The DNS should resolve almost immediately once you do this.


    Another option that mifgt be easier for you to do would be to rename the existing directory. Do the cpanel addon domain in the normal manner. Get the dns resolved to the empty directory then move all your files from the initial directory that you renamed at the start to the new directory.

    Either of these should work.
