Guest dex Posted January 12, 2003 Posted January 12, 2003 i saw that there was an unlimited number of sub domains allowed on the hosting packages, but what about real domains, would i be allowed to host two different domains for two different sites on the same account as long as i stay under the bandwidth and disc usage numbers?

Lianna Posted January 12, 2003 Posted January 12, 2003 No, I'm sorry. To host multiple domains under a single account would require a reseller account. Lianna Quote
Guest Guest Posted February 2, 2003 Posted February 2, 2003 couldnt u offer a plan almost as cheap as the starter or silver plans which you could add two or three domains? This would benfit many people. Quote
Lianna Posted February 2, 2003 Posted February 2, 2003 We are asked about hosting multiple domains regularly. And you're right...maybe it is something that we should look into as an "Add-on" component to packages. But for right now, sorry. Policy allows for only one domain per account unless it's a reseller plan. Just for fun and games, let's say that you buy a Silver Package. How much would you be willing to pay to have an Add-on Domain on that plan? Lianna Quote
Guest Anthony Posted February 2, 2003 Posted February 2, 2003 What about the idea of site redirection? Where www.whatever.com points to whatever.sitetwo.com? Is something like this in the future? Or already here that I have just overlooked? Thanks Anthony Quote
Lianna Posted February 2, 2003 Posted February 2, 2003 I'm sorry, you lost me. You can create mysite.com here on our plan and then have multiple other domains simple direct to the mysite.com through your registrar or third party ddns host. For example: I have mysite.com hosted by TCH. I own domain name mysiteA.com and mysiteB.com. My registrar for those domains offers free "Domain Forwarding" and I foward mysiteA.com and mysiteB.com to mysite.com. So all three of my domains land at the same site hosted on TCH. Is that what you're looking for? Lianna Quote
Guest Anthony Posted February 2, 2003 Posted February 2, 2003 Lianna Sorry for the misdirection, yes that is what I am talking about. Never really thought about using domain forwading yet. Will definetly look into it. Thank you Anthony Quote
Lianna Posted February 2, 2003 Posted February 2, 2003 Now that does NOT mean that you can post 3 different sites on your plan! That would be in violation of the TOS and AUP. Ok? It means that each of your domain names would land the visitor at www.mysite.com/index.htm. Same page! Ok? Lianna Quote
TCH-JimE Posted February 4, 2003 Posted February 4, 2003 I would be willing to pay $10 per extra domain hosted per year. All sharing the same space and bandwidth of course Jim Quote
Guest Sleepy Posted February 26, 2003 Posted February 26, 2003 Excuse, if I've had a domain from others, could I use that domain name and host via your hosting service?? Because I have many email accounts under my domain name, and that's not enough for me to forwarding only my website to here. Thanks. I am looking forward to your reply^_^. Quote
Lianna Posted February 26, 2003 Posted February 26, 2003 I'm sorry Sleepy. I don't think that I understand your question. Could you give me some more information please? Thanks. Lianna Quote

Head Guru Posted February 26, 2003 Posted February 26, 2003 The reason we dont allow add-on domains is really simple. SPEED and UPTIME. If we were to allow user to simply add on domains then our servers would become slower and slower and slower. The companies that allow add on domains IMHO are not thinking with their head but only their wallet. Example: Let say we allow 10 Domains per server and we know that allowing ten domains gives us 40% headroom. So when the server reaches 10 domains we stop selling it. Build a new server and move on. This server has a 40% headroom. Meaning even if every domain maxed out with bandwdith and CPU load we would still have a 40% margin. Continuing with this thought, lets say we want to maintain a minimum headroom of 15%. We dont sell that server out to 20 domains because we need to watch it and monitor it for at least six months. Then after looking at things for six months we can decide if we want to add a domain or two on it and try to achieve that golden number of 15%. But that TAKES time. Watching and learning. Not every site has the same load pull or use patterns. We are happy, and the clients love us. Lets say you allow add-on domains. That really throws a monkey wrench in server planning. So if loosing a potential customer here or there means happiness for all others then so be it! Quote
bethohio3 Posted February 26, 2003 Posted February 26, 2003 I would like to have multiple domains under 1 account as well. My solution is to have multiple domains, but it'd be very convenient to be able to administer them under a single account. Actually, none of the domains are very big, but I don't want to just use forwarding, because I want email addresses under each of the domains. I do understand that there is a big difference between a single domain with a maximum disk size and bandwidth and multiple domains with those same limits. Your load balancing can assume that not all of the accounts are going to reach their maximums. But if there are 4 domains sharing the limit, even if they're small, that means that they are using more bandwidth than 1 account would be and you can't average them out the same way. But, if there was an option that let us order multiple domains under the same account, just to be able to administer them easily, that would be convenient. --Beth (seeing both sides) Quote
Lianna Posted February 26, 2003 Posted February 26, 2003 ...and the Simple Reseller Plan would allow you to do just that. Lianna Quote
