Two website from same host

[oshta]

I currently have two websites, one with one domain, the other with two domains (the second just just point to the same place, same site. Which i think is called 'parked domain'?), they are using two "starter" packages from 123reg. (2 * £1.59 a month, which is £38 per year)
- One is my personal website, and the other my uncals bussiness site. (a very simple 4page site, with the two domains)

I also now what to setup another site for Photos of uni.
- I beleave its is possable host more than one website, at more than one domain from the same place, without it being visable from the 'outside'

So i figured, rather than get other small host package for that site (which may not be eought anyway) i would combine the hosting of all three sites and use a packages such as "supaname's" £39.99 per year package. Which is almost no more, but gives me a lot more space and bandwidth.

Just wondering how possable this is? And a bit of info and sergestions etc.

- I use dreamweaver by the way.

If you want to use DNS to redirect your domain you will need a hosting package that supplies 'add-on domains'.

....you will need a hosting package that supplies 'add-on domains'.

Ahh, thats the sort of info i did.

Just done a google of 'add-on domains' and come up with some good stuff, so i'll have a readage of that, and then see what i find. Thanks.

So, i can have the (mulitple) domain(s) registered anywhere, then point it the one host package.
- Then i setup the host pages to recognise that certain domains are "add-on domains"
- Which can take upto 24 hour to update itseft

Then i presuambly upload all the site to the host, using dreamweaver, and it sort of sorts itself out or what?
- I mean, nataurally it would just open /index.htm file on the root directory
- So you i guess you have to put the varouse site in sub-folders, and do somthin with the add-on domain settings?

Also, am i right in saying supanames does not suport add-on domains? (although i does support sub-domains.


Thanks, Daniel

From the looks of it, no supanames does not support add-on domains.

I use these guys for my hosting:

With the 'Entry' package you basically get 10 standard hosting packages, each with their own cpanel and FTP login so you can keep the sites seperate.

Yeah, thats nice, but its a lot more money, and i really dont need that much bandwidth for any of the sites. (even put together!)

Anyone else got any idea's?

I was speaking to somone (who likes to think they know a fair bit) about it, and they said they didnt think you needed anythin special from your host package, and that the Supanames package would work fine?

Eatherway, i really cant justify much more than £40 a year, as a student, for what is basicaly just a hobbie website.

You need to make sure that the hosting package will allow the number of domains you want to use it for e.g.

https://secure.3dpixelnet.com/products.php

On that page, the 3D500 package will let you host two domain names. If you're still not sure, I'm sure you can ask the guys at 3DPixelNet - they've always been great for me, and answer very quickly.

[oshta]

Ah thats better, seems very reasonably priced for what it is.
- even the 3d1000 package is only £55 which is sort of just about in budget
