Options for Hosting Multiple Websites

The first thing to consider when setting up multiple websites is whether or not to host them all with the same web hosting company. Many web hosts offer packages that let you set up multiple sites on a single account and almost all will let you set up multiple accounts, one for each site. The prices of domain name registration and web hosting have dropped to the point that it's possible to own multiple websites without going broke. If you plan to operate multiple websites, here is some information on the different options available to you.

Advantages of using a different host are that you'll get a different IP address for each of your sites. If your sites are related to one another and you want to link them together, having different IP addresses can sometimes help your site rank higher in the search engines.

Reasons for choosing different Hosting providers: Links from other sites are one of the most important factors in getting your site ranked highly. If those links come from sites on the same IP address, it is a signal to the search engines that they are quite likely all owned by the same person, and they may discount the value of those links. On the other hand, if you choose a different host you'll be able to compare the quality of another company with whomever you're currently using.

Hosting your sites on a dedicated web server gives you complete control over the server. You can install any software you want, any OS you want and you can allocate resources like memory and hard disk space however you want to divide it up between your sites.

Disadvantages of a dedicated server: The disadvantage of a dedicated hosting is that you only are responsible for maintaining the server and sometimes even for the technical side of things. If you are unaware of technical side of running a web server then you are in trouble. The idea is that you can set up your own company offering web hosting that is ultimately hosted by the company.
