How do i check if the webhost provide this service

a freelance designer would like to host all his clients websites for them. Lets take for

example he have 3 websites.

www.one.com
www.two.com
www.three.com

he would like to host all three using just one webhost provider. So lets say he sign up for a package that provides him with 300mb of space etc. How do he check if they would allow different urls in the same package. Most of the times he see subdomains but he dont need those.

Please help....

I believe what you're looking for is a host that provides "Addon domains", not to be confused with "parked domains". If they can also provide you with different ip addresses for each then great, different class c ips are even better.

The simplest way is for him to get a reseller package.

That way he can host many domains and share the webspace / bandwidth between all the domains

The one I use is dream hosting The cost is very good but I can't say the same for the after sales service however I have currently about 20 domains running with them and allocate the 5gb available web space according to their invididual needs. For instance I have 2 with 500mb each but the majority fit nicely into 50mb. The bandwidth allocation is done the same way.

Hi,
If you would like to know whether you are able to host more than one
domain in one single account, look out for "Addon Domains".

For example, if the "Addon Domains" are three, it means that you are
allowed to host another three domains. In total, you are hosting four
domains. One of which is the main account, while the other three are the
addons.

The addon domains have to be managed in one single account using the
same control panel. If you would like to grant individual control panel
for each domain, you would need to look for a reseller account. A
reseller account allows you to grant such privileges.

You can also may be able to do it through your domain register, if they have domain forwarding your domain names to a folder created under the main account. That's another way of doing it.

Just quickly off topic. Soniqhost.com you may want to change the green in your signature, it's a bit bright and hard to read (also I *think* your only allowed 2 lines in your signature).
Not trying to nit-pick mate, it was just the green that I thought was a bit hard to read.

best way to find out is contact the best hosts and ask them if they do what you want.
