Yes, theoretically, you can host multiple websites on a single hosting package that supports multi-website hosting, such as the Personal X2 and Business plans. However, there are important considerations to keep in mind:
Limitations of Using Addon Domains for Multiple Websites
- Single cPanel Access – Technically, these websites are hosted under single shared hosting account called Addon domains. All addon domains share the same cPanel account. If any website owner needs to change an email password or adjust settings, they must contact you to do so.
- Shared Resources – All websites under the same hosting plan share disk space, CPU, and RAM. There is no way to allocate resources evenly between them, making it difficult to troubleshoot performance issues.
- Unified Configuration – All addon domains use the same server settings, including the PHP version. You cannot assign different PHP versions to individual websites.
Alternative Solutions for Hosting Multiple Websites
- Reseller Hosting – If you need more control, consider a Reseller Hosting package. This plan includes Web Host Manager (WHM) access, allowing you to create separate hosting accounts, each with its own cPanel, login credentials, and resource allocation. This is ideal for hosting multiple smaller websites with flexibility.
- Separate Shared Hosting Accounts – If you plan to host medium-sized websites, the best approach is to purchase separate shared hosting accounts for each website. This provides greater flexibility, better performance, and the ability to spread sites across multiple physical servers.
