5 Reasons to Host Multiple Websites in a Single Hosting Plan
If you run multiple websites, either as your main business or as a hobby, you may be tempted to buy separate hosting plans for each site. After all, it seems like it’s more cost-effective and space-efficient to host every site separately, instead of sharing one plan with multiple sites. However, there are multiple reasons why hosting multiple websites in a single hosting plan will save you time and money—and make your work much easier!
1) Save time and money on domain name registration :
One of the biggest advantages to using a single hosting plan for multiple websites is that you’ll save time and money when it comes to registering domain names. Many people are unaware that it’s possible to register multiple domain names under one account, and those who do know often prefer not to because they think it will be more expensive than purchasing multiple accounts. As long as you have one hosting account, however, you can register an unlimited number of domain names with just one click. What’s more, most registrars offer package deals that can save you additional money if you purchase several at once. Additionally, even if your website consists of five pages or fewer, buying all five domains from different registrars will cost much more than five from one place!
2) Differentiate your sites with unique web addresses :
For many business owners, domain names are an afterthought. It’s easy enough to throw up a simple site using your name or business name as your URL. But when you run into SEO problems down the road or want to take advantage of online advertising (think Facebook ads or Google AdWords), it becomes clear that having unique web addresses is important. That’s where using one hosting plan for multiple sites comes in handy. By hosting multiple websites on one account, you can enjoy lower costs and manage your own sites all from one place—there's even an easier way to set up unique domains with some plans (like ours!).
3) No need to purchase additional hosting space :
When you host multiple websites with one hosting plan, you won’t need additional space for each website. This will save you money if your plans allow for unlimited storage space and data transfer. It can also be more convenient than maintaining multiple accounts and buying separate hosting packages. Just keep in mind that if one site is causing issues, it can take down all of your sites on the same account, so it's important to set up your sites properly and understand each site's capabilities before diving into multiple-site management.
4) Easily run multiple websites from one dashboard :
While you can run multiple websites on your hosting plan, doing so will complicate things and make it much harder for you to keep track of your sites. It also limits what services you can use if they don’t have add-ons that allow them to support multiple sites from one dashboard. If you want to grow multiple online businesses quickly, we recommend that you focus on one at a time and that each site has its own hosting account with its own platform (Shopify, WordPress, etc.). This will save time and cost as opposed to running several sites from one server. For example, if one site experiences an issue (like malicious activity), all of your other sites won’t be affected because they are hosted elsewhere.
5) Make managing content easier :
If you have multiple sites, managing content becomes easier when they're all housed within one hosting plan. Instead of having to update each site's hosting account, login and re-upload files on each site individually, you can manage everything on one central account. This makes it easy for you to ensure that your content is consistent across all your sites and allows you to transfer files from one site to another easily. Not only does having a single host make things more convenient, but it also ensures that your different websites aren't affected by any downtime issues or server performance issues from another website hosted on the same server.
