Multiple WP sites and domains on one hosting plan?

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.

 

yes,

in cpanel , go to addon domains, add domain and you will be able to add wordpress site there.

 

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.

 

Great, thanks for all the info, much appreciated!
