Choosing a Web Hosting Provider

Is Virtual Hosting Supported?

SUMMARY: Virtual hosting lets you put many web domains on one machine - does your web hosting provider offer this?


 

Even if your current business plans only require the use of one domain name, you should still look for a web hosting provider that supports virtual hosting. In case you don't know what this is, virtual hosting allows for a single computer, or host, to respond to multiple domain names. This way, one host can actually serve requests for two or more different sites, and you won't have to pay for two or more separate hosts or computers. This can save you a lot of money in case you plan on running five or more websites with minimal or medium traffic, as long as the one host or computer can handle the traffic for all sites.
