To be able to host more sites, share hosting came into play and this has of course furnish in that area. But then, if you have many websites, which are inform their unique communication many from others, then you will have to turn to multiple domain web site hosting.

Multiple domain web hosting is where one uses his account to run other mini websites.

This concept is commonly known as reseller hosting. It should not be confused with domain pointers and redirections.
