With the low cost of domain names and web hosting fees, many have already finding it very affordable to own multiple websites. There are a several ways to manage and administer multiple domains. It is essential to know your options as well as the advantages and disadvantages of each method.
The first and most important option when managing multiple domains is to decide whether or not to do so with the same web site host. Most web site hosts include in their packages a feature that would allow several sites on one account, or allow each individual sites to be managed and operated under separate accounts.
You may have an already existing website and are satisfied with the services your host provides. Starting a new website under the same host will give you the comfort and assurance of dealing with a company you are already familiar with. Perhaps, you'll also get a reduced price for each additional web site hosting package you will get from them.
On the other hand, making use of a new host for your new website will let you compare and evaluate the quality of hosting services offered by different companies. In addition, having separate hosts will enable you to have different IP address for every web sites you have.
Different IP addresses is an essential factor if you plan to link the sites together to help you obtain high ranking in the search engines. This is because sites with many incoming links rank higher than those with fewer links. On the other hand, links become less in value if they are coming from the same IP address.
Hosting your websites with different hosting companies assures that each site has a different individual IP address. Individual IP addresses are also available as an extra feature from most web hosting companies. For an extra fee, each website can have its own unique IP address. This can help a lot with search engine ranking. Having a unique IP address is also important if you want to have a secure connection (https) on your site especially if you are running an on-line shop or a membership site.
If you decide to host all your sites with the same company, you can sign-up for a reseller account and manage each site you have under different accounts. However, a reseller account normally costs more than the ordinary web hosting account. There is also another option that you can consider and that is to sign-up for a hosting package that allows multiple domain web site hosting package under one account. There are already a lot of hosting companies offering this kind of feature and this is the way to go if you want to save a lot in your web hosting cost.
Hosting all your sites with one host has many advantages as well as disadvantages. One major disadvantage is that when the server goes down, all your sites hosted with that web host will go down. It is very important that you choose a web host that will give you a reliable uptime report and would enable you to test the service before signing up. In that way, you can be sure that your customers can reach you 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. If you are depending on your sites for income, choosing a reliable host is very important. If you want to be successful online, choose a web host that you can depend on.
