Multi domain — Sat, 01 Nov 2008 20:13:16 +0000

A few years ago when people ran LAMP servers without control panel software it was somewhat hard to configure new web sites from the shell. Nowadays, over 95% of hosting companies use commercial control panel software or have their own control panel software to configure new domains and edit existing account settings.

Trust me, Cpanel is going strong with a really large market share and it’s quite good for hosting multiple domain names. You have multiple choices:

1. Add-on domains
You have a main site account and you can add on domains that will reside under your homedir as a new folder however it also works with own domain name.

2. Reseller account
Create new account per domain and there you go. The best option of course and best recommended.

3. Normal account per web site
If you have a dedicated server running Cpanel you create new account per site as you would with a full reseller account.

With Cpanel hosting multiple domain names is easy.

Multiple wordpress blog hosting

Running a small blogs on your multiple domain name account should be no problem as long as it’s not very popular. You can set-up multiple wordpress blogs even if you have allocated one MySQL database - you will need to define the prefix for the tables. The prefix should be different for each of your wordpress blogs, if you are using one mysql database. You can configure this prefix in wp-config.php file

the default:

$table_prefix = ‘wp_’;

if you plan on having two different wordpress blogs in the same MySQL DB, then specify

$table_prefix = ‘wp_’;

for the first blog, and for second

$table_prefix = ‘wp2_’;

And you should be set-up and running without any problem.

Multiple domain name hosting is cost effective

I used to have multiple web hosting accounts but figured out that I can save well if I sign up for multiple domain name hosting account and move all my domains there.

Simple math - I have 3 domains paying $9 per month for each web site - my monthly hosting expenses are $27. I found a multi domain name hosting provider that charges me $20 monthly so I save $7 per month. I can save much more if I register new domain names and launch the web sites. The only drawback is that usually you can have one main user that manages all multiple domain web sites. You cannot share it with others or you break the service agreement.

The only drawback is that if the server goes down, all your sites that are hosted on one multi domain hosting account will be down….
