A decade ago, a web hosting plan offered by a particular hosting company could accommodate only a single website, i.e. more than one website could not be hosted on a single hosting account. This used to present a big hurdle to the average webmaster in that launching multiple websites meant a proportional increase in web hosting costs as well. However, as time passed by, competition among the major web hosting companies continue to increase which led them to offer more and more compelling features in an attempt to acquire more customers than their competitors. Finally, a couple of years ago, multiple domain hosting started to gradually become the norm in the web hosting market. Now, a great majority of top web hosting companies offer the option to host unlimited domains (websites) in one account.

This latest development has relieved the average webmaster from the worries of operating costs in case he/she wants to launch more than one website. There are still companies that continue to restrict their web hosting plans to hosting a single domain only. However, with the passage of time, more and more of such hosting companies have also started to offer the option of hosting multiple domains (if not unlimited) on a single account. Unlimited web hosting can bring in some significant savings in terms of hosting costs for you while giving you more possibilities to expand. As a result, there is a clear-cut benefit in purchasing web hosting from a company that allows unlimited domains on a single web hosting account.

Apart from the savings in terms of hosting costs, there are some other great benefits implicit in an unlimited web hosting plan. If you plan to generate multiple income streams by promoting a variety of niches, unlimited web hosting can prove to be an excellent tool for you for hosting and subsequently managing all your websites from a single account. For example, if you're using CPanel and your hosting company offers single domain hosting, then you will have to log into and logout of the control panel each time you need to work on a different website. Even if you are promoting a particular niche, you know that there are many sub niches within it and you can build a website around each of them.

Unlimited web hosting is also very easy to administer and can be set up within no time. In the CPanel control panel, any time you need to add a new domain name on your existing hosting account, you can use the "Addon Domain" option to create a folder with the same name as the domain name you want to host. After you have clicked on OK, domain name propagation over the Internet takes about 24 to 48 hours in order for your website to be accessible. You also need to add the DNS address supplied by your hosting company into the control panel of your domain registration company. With unlimited web hosting, any e-mail addresses you create on the new domain name also work in exactly the same manner as with a usual web hosting account. So what are you waiting for? Sign up with an unlimited web hosting company and reap the benefits of low cost and greater flexibility.
