Another hosting question

[Chappy]

I'd like to turn some of my parked domains into 'minisites'. Do I need a separate hosting package for each? They really won't need too much storage/bandwidth. I don't want to have to pay $8 a month or whatever it is for EACH domain.
Thanks

Again, depends on your host, but usually shared hosting plans offer multiple addon domain availability, so you can add multiple domains into one single account

Pretty easy to do with a CPANEL account....

You create an ADD-ON domain to point another domain to a subfolder or a subdomain of your main account.

See demo video (from HTTPme site) below...

So if your main domain is
whosyouruncle.com

and you wanted a mini site for tester.com, do the above ADD-ON domain and at the end, tester.com will redirect to your mini site pages at http://www.whosyouruncle.com/tester

Yes, there are several hosting packages that allow you to have multiple domains for a low price. I pay for mine about $1 monthly.

Matt, based on your budget from your other thread I would say a reseller account would be the best way to go.
You will have full control of your domains and you will have a seperate statistics package for each one that you set up.

yes reseller accounts offers flexibility if you have other people working on different sites domains, if it is just you, then find a provider that offers multiple domains on hosting accounts... here is some that I use

ehosts.org - shared carthost.com - reseller
