Having trouble trying to host your websites under a single hosting plan?
This is a problem faced by many users of web hosting
services. Even though you will not easily find information about how to complete
this configuration, let us explain the two options available for doing this. One
has to do with selecting the appropriate service provider and the other with
doing some custom configuration in order to make it work with your current
"single-domain" plan.

If after contracting a website hosting plan you cannot make it
work as you like, just
drop us an email and we will help with the hosting setup and configuration for FREE!!!
Let's begin with the most difficult
choice. Login to your web hosting
control panel and go directly to the file manager. In there you will find a
list of folders and files that compose the body of your main website. Then
create a new folder at the top of the hierarchy with the name of the second
website. Try to make it a single short word because it will reflect in the URLs.
Then, create a new file named index.asp and place it in the
root folder of the main website. The content must be as follows (Please make
sure to change the pages):
If Request.ServerVariables("server_name") = "www.xxx1.com" then
Response.Redirect "indexwebsite1.aspx"
ElseIF Request.ServerVariables("server_name") = "www.xxx2.com" then
Response.Redirect "folder2/indexwebsite2.aspx"
ElseIF Request.ServerVariables("server_name") = "www.xxx3.com" then
Response.Redirect "folder3/indexwebsite3.aspx"
End if
After this is done, then change the default document to
index.asp so that when the requests come to the web server this file is loaded
first and the proper redirection takes place. Next, make sure to add all the
additional domains you wish to host in this account as domain aliases of the
main one.
The next step is to configure the DNS A records for the
additional domains to point to the ip address of the web server. Finally, add
the pages to the folder you created by using the File Manager or an FTP account
configured to access only that folder. This is the easiest way to do it.
After this process has been completed, you are all set to go.
Your websites will be all working under the same hosting account.
The second choice does not involve any special configuration.
The only thing required is to select the appropriate vendor at the very first
try. We have reviewed many offers and the most reliable are Web Hosting Pad.com
