Hello, I have a shared hosting account with HostGator. I wonder if I can have multiple WP sites there, something like this: FTP: www/mysite1 (WP folder); URL: www.mysite1.com FTP: www/mysite2 (WP folder); URL: www.mysite2.com I'd like to buy the domains from NameCheap as they have it much cheaper than HostGator. Would that work? Thanks.
Thanks for answering. Can I also add a domain after installing WP first in a folder? I'd like to set up 3 sites (all in their own folders) and add domains when they are finished. I would leave the root of the server intact.
yes, however, judging by your question, i dont' think you are experienced enough to actually be able to move wordpress to another domain ( it needs database editing) so its better that you add domain, then install wordpress on it.
Here's a step-by-step guide to help you configure an add-on domain: http://ewebhosting.biz/add-on-domain.html
