    i am having my hosting plan for one of my websites; now i am having more sites and i can't afford another plan when i have space and bandwidth available at my hosting plan.

    Cpanel is being used there by my host; is it possible to upload my 2nd website in some folder and do somthing to get my domain pointing to that folder?? mean domain is pointing to the name servers of my host but how can i direct that to my new web site index;

    Plz dont tell me about adon domains; those are not affordable at this time!!

    Many hosting plans give you free subdomains (I use Hostgator who provides an unlimited number of subdomains). Set up a new subdomain name in cPanel, which also adds a new folder to your main directory. Create your new site in the new folder. The subdomain is treated as a completely new domain. Using this method, you can create other web sites without additional cost.

    You might be able to do that through your domain register depending on where you registered your domain name. You can try forwarding your second domainname.com to your new subdomain.domainname.com through your domain register.

    Hey ravinanz,
    Yar koee dang ka host loo :)
    You need small reseller, goto hostgator or resellerzoom.
    As a webmaster you need to have reseller so you can accomodate all your sites and your clients as needed.
    Thanks

    Hostgators multiple domain hosting account for only $10 allows you unlimited "add on" domains. Hosts really have no reason to charge for add on domains and if your host is doing that, it's time to leave.

    Add on domains is what you are looking for in your cpanel control panel. If your host does not offer it time to move to a host that does as websiteideas stated.
