If you operate several websites, each with its own
domain name, signing up of separate hosting accounts
can be an expensive proposition. Even if your hosting
company offers the add-on domain feature (which will
allow you to add different domains to the same hosting
account) you will be charged a monthly fee for each
domain you add, sometimes costing almost the same
as your full hosting fee.
The solution is to open a reseller account. Reseller
accounts were created to allow web designers to offer
hosting services to their customers, to create a one-stop-shop
for all their web design and hosting needs. However,
you don't need to be a reseller to buy a reseller
hosting plan.
Reseller accounts are usually slightly more expensive
than regular hosting accounts, but they will allow
you to host different domain names without incurring
in the add-on domain fees, making more efficient use
of your space and bandwidth.
