Am I asking too much?

[rowan]

I would like to develop some of my domains. I have been looking at some hosts but as I know very little coding, I was trying to find a host that offers a plan with add on domains and a site builder that I can use with every domain.
They seem to only allow their site builder with the first domain so I can't develop the others. Do any hosts offer what I need or is the builder with only the first standard?


Edited to add - after telling me that I can only have one site/sitebuilder a host got back to me with an option to have more with a small cost per year

I've seen this before. It's a very common up-selling technique in the hosting world. An option to have more domains for a small cost per year or per domain is perfectly reasonable - that is when you compare that to the purchase price of online site building tools/software. Often the programs themselves are only set up to handle one domain and the hosts have to do some extra mcguyvering to get them to work with multiple domains.

It wouldn't hurt though to take a look around on google at "open source site building tools" to see if there are any free tools you could install on your hosting account. Really what you might be looking for here is a CMS or content management system and those can be quite complicated to set up. You would also need to set up and maintain one copy of the CMS for each domain you intended to use it on in most cases. (if they are different websites)

I've heard NVU is a good alternitive. I've had afew clients talking about it.

The asked is possible to put into practice with the company called marblehost.com. They are offering free domain name and usable sitebuilder giving pretty much freedom of work. Try looking up.

I signed up with mochahost because of their easy to use site builder and when I looked around and found the wysiwyg editor on the cpanel which I can use for all my sites there. Yay, I don't need to pay extra for the sitebuilder after all.
It is a bit basic but at least it gives me a start and I can learn as I go along. It took all day yesterday to learn but I have my first site going using that builder - www.icecreamshop.info
I know it needs work and having a static background that I knocked up in my graphics program does not work too well, but I am please to just get this far.
Learning, learning

Not all of them. Do not ask someone do do coding work for you if you would like to learn that ask for the help not for doing the work for you.
