Unlimited Domains?

[shambler66]

I have seen many hosting plans that give you the option of unlimited domains. What does this necessarily mean?

 

[Bruce]

You can host as many domains as you like.

So does that mean I can purchase as many domains as I like? I can do that without purchasing hosting accounts.

 

[Chris L.]

Correct.

Suppose u have 100 domains !!

U can host those 100 domains on 1 single hosting account/

Simillarly, for Unlimited Domains !!

THe total size and bandwidth for all the domains is = the total size of your account

Right - this is another tactic that's impossible to deliver 'unlimited' of, but hosts will oversell to the point that it's still cost-effective for them, before giving you the boot. From our tests and experiences through dedicated customers, a good paid hosting server can handle a few thousand domains before it explodes from the all of the automated processes each domain has (stats generation, dns sync, automated backups, etc.), although you'd probably start noticing slowing response times after a few hundred.

Of course if for whatever reason you had 600 domains on a $2 unlimited-domain plan, you'd probably want a cluster of a few servers to keep respectable performance - which I guarantee you, these companies are not supplying. But for a few domains, you may very well still be happy with one of these companies - assuming they don't attempt to honor the 600 domain customers by shoving them on one server with you. Just be sure you understand what's going on here.

I dont really recomend having all your domains with one single host, primary reason, is that you are going to miss out the advantage of having triangular links between your sites ON DIFFERENT IP!
