Its very common to see “unlimited domain hosting” as part of shared web hosting feature. What exactly is unlimited domain hosting really mean? From the sentense we know that, its “unlimited” + “domains”. And its a web hosting plan that allow you to host unlimited domain names in single web hosting account. But how can you host unlimited domain name is one hosting account, there must be limit in it right? Well, php web hosting are usually offering in cpanel, vdeck, or h-sphere control panel, and these control panel allows you to add new domain name into your account, and host the new domain name at your same web hosting space.
By adding new domain name into your existing hosting account! You are now have a new website hosted in your web hosting plan. Well, let say you start with single domain/website, for example here FIRSTWEBSITE.COM. Once you add new domain name from cpanel, you are given a new subdirectory and here is where you upload your webfiles for your second website, let say SECONDWEBSITE.COM. Now the beauty is that FIRSTWEBSITE.COM & SECONDWEBSITE.COM are two independent website, each with own www. and each with own web space and run independently as a full feature website. You can add more website to your unlimited domain hosting plan, regardless 10 websites or 100 websites or 500 websites, there is no limit in it when you signup with unlimited domain hosting plan.
Addon domain name is not subdomain or parked domain, don’t get confused with it. Subdomain is like “subcat1.firstwebsite.com”… it is still under the first website/domain, and you are not having independent domain name. Now you know addon domain name are full feature website, and its a fully independent website. You can host any website at your new addon domain, either a blog, personal website, photo gallery, auction website or forum or even an ecommerce website.
Hostgator hatchling plan $4.95 is single domain hosting, and you can host one website in it only. Only the hostgator baby plan $7.95 allows unlimited domain hosting and you can host as many websites as you like. There are many other top web hosting companies are offering unlimited domain web hosting, for example from bluehost, hostmonster, fatcow, ix web hosting, justhost, and many others. Its very common to have multiple websites hosting in single web hosting account.

I had just read about the meaning of “Unlimited Domain”, though understand its meaning I still have no idea if I am going to have another domain to be hosted by you as well, how much it will cost me in a Baby Plan per year?
Right now I have the above named Domain “available-resources.com” hosted by you, but is paying you on monthly basis. I will need a domain and to be hosted by you as well. I noticed on CM website you offer 25% discount.
I would like to pay you yearly basis with Baby Plan, kindly let me know to hosting 2 websites by you, how much it would be per year.

Hostgator baby plan allows multiple domains hosting, having few websites hosted in one account at no extra cost.
You can upgrade from hatchling to baby plan easily, email support team and inform them of your request for upgrade and they will process your request. Hostgator baby plan for upgrade from hatchling is as per regular price without 20% discount. Request the support to advice on the price too.

Hi,
My website hosting fee is due on May 14, 2011, which is on monthly basis. I have following questions, namely:
1) I like to upgrade from hatchling to baby plan for one year
2) I have signed up a program called “Commission Maniac”, I will use it to launch product promotion campaign, and each campaign will have a different Domain. Please advise what I shall do to advise you the new Domain for hosting.
Looking forward for your reply.
Thanks & regards
