share hosting domains

skyhigh007 · October 26th, 2009, 4:59 PM

Hi

Can you host multiple domains in one share hosting account?

**Rick** · October 26th, 2009, 10:23 PM

Yes but they will all share one cPanel account. Most Surpass shared hosting plans come with 10 (or more) addon domains.

If more control is needed, and accounts require separate cPanel account logins to manage them, you will need to use a reseller package to provide individual accounts for each domain.

If you are the administrator for all of the accounts, you can surely host them all in one cPanel account. You can provide separate FTP accounts to each domain which would allow you to share the account per se, giving each person their own FTP-only access.

would it effect the other domains rank in search engine ? They will have different DNS, ip address, etc right? They are only sharing the space?

Whether you go with shared or reseller hosting they will still have the same DNS and IP address. That's the nature of shared hosting, all the accounts on a "shared" server share the same IP address (unless you're paying extra for a dedicated IP address). This should no affect on their search engine ranking.

I have heard people claim that this CAN have an impact on your rankings before, but it was just a rumor. I did some digging online and found this page:

Does a Shared/Unique IP Address Affect my Search Engine Ranking? - PoundBangWhack.com

From the page:

Quote:

In a 2003 interview with Slashdot, Google Director of Technology Craig Silverstein answered this specific question accordingly:

Quote:

Actually, Google handles virtually hosted domains and their links just the same as domains on unique IP addresses. If your ISP does virtual hosting correctly, you’ll never see a difference between the two cases. We do see a small percentage of ISPs every month that misconfigure their virtual hosting, which might account for this persistent misperception.

Quote:

...at the end of 2006, Google software engineer and head of their Webspam team, Matt Cutts answered that question in his blog post “Myth busting: virtual hosts vs. dedicated IP addresses”

Quote:

There is no PageRank difference whatsoever between these two cases (virtual hosting vs. a dedicated IP)…I’m happy to affirm that this statement which was true in 2003 is still true now. Links to virtually hosted domains are treated the same as links to domains on dedicated IP addresses.

So the short answer is, no.

If I host two domain names in one account, how do i place the files? If they are both put it in the root folder, then there will be a confusion on two index files?

**Adam** · November 23rd, 2009, 11:51 AM

when adding another domain onto your cPanel account as an addon domain, you will specify it's specific document root. your main domain will always be in the root of public_html, so you can have a setup like:

public_html/ --> main domain
public_html/addondomain.com/ --> addon domain

i hope this answers your questions. if you run into any issues, please start a ticket with us
