Hi i currently have one website but its a broad natural health nich market. I purchased a new domain name knowyourcats.com which I want to begin marketing once i get my site up. My question. For those who have a few different web sites for different niches do you do add on domains to your original one? i want to make each niche site totally seperate and not connected...i alwasy thought add on domains would be connected to another site. Do hosting companies allow you to create multiple sites that arent associated with each other..if so which ones do you suggest and what are the steps to do this..or direct me to a thread that helps with this... thanks in advance
I believe, from a hosting standpoint, the majority will link all your sites to a primary domain name. But it doesn't necessarily link them together. www.yoursite1.com will work www.yoursite2.com will work, but in reality, yoursite2.com is just a subdirectory in yoursite1.com. It's just the way they structure it on the server. To a person surfing the website, they can't tell the difference.
I have an account with WebHostingPad and I can host unlimited domains in my account without a problem, each site is independent
thanks for the tips.....so if you have multiple domain names ..were the created each as a sub domain name or an add on domain? also, from the earlier post..lets say my main domain is abc.com i now have knowyourcats.com ...would i create that as a sub or add on domain...which of the two if i creat will let my customers to to knowyourcats.com...not something like abc.com/knowyourcats.com appreacite all the tips
Add on domain, that way your visitor will only have to go to: knowyourcats.com if you add it as a subdomain it'll be something like: knowyourcats.abc.com
It's just the way it set up on the server. All the files will be dumped in abc.com/knowyourcats.com No one will know that address but you. When someone types in knowyourcats.com it will show the page. It will look normal and no one will be the wiser.
