    That depends on what you're "unlimited" plan consists of. You can install as many as you need as long as you can create a database for each one.

    same as hav0c, that you can install as many as wp blog at one hosting but it also depend on the capacity of your hosting. suppose you have unlimited space of host you can have a wp blog as many as possible at your hosting

    If I have taken the business plan of hostgator view its details here : http://www.hostgator.com/compare.shtml there also written that DOMAINS allowed is UNLIMITED,
    if i am using this then can I have multiple WP on the host with deferent domain names like abc.com, atoz.com, basd.com etc on the same account.

    and with wordpress can I also run a website on this account only

    everyone is right. so far.

    however, the more WP sites you add, the slower each site will become. How might you ask? if you have one site with WP, you have no probs with processing power. You have 2 WP sites, and it splits the processing power in half. You have 3 WP sites, you have split the total processing power in 3, etc. etc.

    so you are more than welcome to add as many sites as you want, but just know that the more sites you host on one account, the slower YOUR account becomes. And keep in mind that Google does take into account how fast your site loads in their ranking of your sites.

    More WP Sites = slower sites = lower google rankings

    @ ilovefirefiles : This post made me to think for a while and now I am not going to
    use one account for several webpages because I am not interested in loosing speed and rank.

    OR what you can do, is you can opt for multiple hosting accounts. Why? well if you do that you can still get all the processing power that is required to each site.

    BUT! most people will not do this because you then spend more money.

    THIS IS WHERE I COME IN! Lol

    If you want shared hosting, but want to have multiple sites, and dont want to pay more than you were before, PM me for details on how i can customize a package or a couple to suit your budget and your site needs. :)

    if you need to keep the budget at where you are already at, then i can help you in customizing packages so as to not impact the performance of your sites. i am flexible in what i can offer you.

    check out the packages that i offer (my signature) and PM me, or email me directly.

    database tables

    as many domains as you can host in one hosting account, you can have that many number of wp blogs.

    If your webhost provide unlimited domain hosting ,unlimited sql databases and unlimited webspace then you can install unlimited wordpress blogs per domain .
    BUT
    Problem is created when your unlimited installed blogs needs heavy bandwidth .Almost every webhost clears in its terms and conditions that in shared webhosting if an account affects other accounts performance ,it is terminated or suspended .and you are asked to upgrade your hosting plan simply buy more bandwidth .

    Solution
    contact your webhost via
    email or livechat and must clarify this doubt

    In theory, you can host as many as you want, but in practice, if they get a lot of traffic I think you might notice that your site's performance deteriorates - you may even get a warning from the host for using too many resources (yes, even on an "unlimited" account). It really depends on the host, though.

    If you're planning on running a lot of sites, a VPS or dedicated server might be a better choice.

    It would depend on how many MySQL databases you were allowed, not domains.

    As many as you want as long as you have enough room on your sever, also don't forget to create a new DB for each of them or you will ruin the sites you already have.
