Multiple Domain Name Hosting???

    I have very noob type question..

    I am interested in puchasing from a web provider that offers..
    Unlimited disk space
    unlimited Band width and
    unlimited domains...

    but I'm a little confused as to how unlimited domains works..

    If I purchase a plan with unlimited domains does that mean I can have as many different sites as I want on the sever.? or does it mean that I can have as many url names point to the same directory..

    Basically.. all the differnt names land on the same website.. or will the differnt url names land on different websites?

    I understand that if you purchase a reseller package you usually have a cpanel where you can add a different cpanel control for each individual site and assign differnt criteria for space, bw etc..

    What's the difference and if you just purchase a package that offers unlimted space BW and domains.. how to you make the differnt urls point to different sites within the cpanel????

    I hope that makes sense.. sorry if this is in the wrong section..

    Unlimited domain mean that you can have unlimited amount of add ons domain at the same cpanel account.
    You need to point the domain to the name server of the hosting in order to use it.

    There's no specific answer for that, and I suggest you clarify with the hosting company directly. In theory it could really be either answer.

    On a separate note, be wary of providers offering "unlimited" everything. Caveat emptor.

    unlimited domains means you can use addon domain function to host unlimited domains.These domains can be built with different directories and free of charge.
    But I think you'd better need to consider the website under the domain to gurantee their speed.If it's really hot one,my suggestion is try to choose a more suitable
    hosting solution.
