Multiple Domain Hosting is like web hosting business on a shoe-string budget. The first step is to get yourself a multiple domain name hosting account. For example, if you take out an account that allows up to 6 websites (or domains), you can use one of the domains for development of your own site; and, still have 5 domain names to allocate to your clients sites. All you need to do is pay your regular fee to your web host; then, you can charge your clients what ever you like.


It is preferable to have full administrative control over your client’s web sites. Make sure that, not only does your web host provide you with a control panel that includes full administrative facilities to easily manage your multiple account, but that your host provides your clients with their own control panel too.


In short, hosting multiple domain, is a system where web designers can buy a single "Plan" and sub-divide their storage space into multiple accounts.... one for each website they develop. This significantly decreases the costs to the web designers, putting more money in their pockets when they sell the hosting service to their clients.
