    I have about 8 websites in total.

    When I go to the court house, do I have to get a seperate business license for EACH website name?

    Or can I just call my company anything I want and get 1 business license and it will control all my websites I have!?

    It depends on how you're organized. If they are each separate companies, then the separate companies generally need a business license for each. If not, you're a sole proprietorship by default, and you most likely need only one for yourself. That being said, if you're not organized as a company, you really should think about it in order to protect your personal assets should any of these businesses go bad...

    Just my $.02...
