Shannon Posted June 3, 2004 Posted June 3, 2004 I've been using a starter hosting plan that i signed up for probably close to a year ago. I recently created a sig hosting site for a fansite i'm an admin of. I'm ok with space and bandwidth at the moment, but i want to create a "portfolio" of sites for practice and possibly for other things. What all involves an upgrade? Would i stay on the same server I'm currently on (server 6) and just get higher bandwidth/storage, or would i have to actually change servers resulting in some downtown while the ip address propogates? Also, would i need to submit a help ticket? Sorry for so many questions, just wanted to make sure before I broke my site on accident. And if this not the correct forum, sorry about that too. Quote

natimage Posted June 3, 2004 Posted June 3, 2004 I'm ok with space and bandwidth at the moment, but i want to create a "portfolio" of sites for practice and possibly for other things. If you want to actually have more than one site...you have to upgrade to a reseller account. If you just want to build a portfolio for yourself, I would start out maybe doing a sub-domain on your account where you show your work. You can not, however, have actual different sites/domains as a sub-domain. All the content has to be related to your main site. Does that make sense? Sometimes I just can't get the words out!! Quote
Shannon Posted June 3, 2004 Author Posted June 3, 2004 Makes sense, thats exactly what i was going to do, i'm running my current site on a subdomain figured i'd add a few more. Thumbs Up Quote
thrillcats Posted June 8, 2004 Posted June 8, 2004 I would like to upgrade to a reseller. I hosted a couple of very small sites with my old package. But, i have a couple of questions- is it a separate domain or a sub domain (the second website)? do they get their own email- like john@johnbraile.com ? (I'm lighthousestudios.info) What i've read- i can have unlimited domains hosted- but the size and bandwith is limited- right? I would like to upgrade today, if possible- so please help asap. thanks in advance Christine Quote
TCH-Thomas Posted June 8, 2004 Posted June 8, 2004 (edited) is it a separate domain or a sub domain (the second website)?They would be separate domains, as in domain1.com, domain2.com... But you could host them as domain.com and subdomain.domain.com too i think.do they get their own email- like john@johnbraile.com ? Since they are own domains, they will have their own emails. What i've read- i can have unlimited domains hosted- but the size and bandwith is limited- right? Yup. One word of advice, when you upgrade, you will be asked which domain you want as "main" account/reseller. I didnt know that, so be sure that you know which domain you want as the "main" if you have several hosted on TCH from the beginning and you want them moved to your reseller package.
