Virtual Subhosting
Virtual Subhosting is one of the most powerful features of the Virtual
Private Servers and our Apache
Web Server. This feature allows you to support multiple
domain names that each resolve to their own unique subdirectories
on a single Virtual Private Servers. In other words, you can host
bob.com and jim.com on the same Virtual Private Servers,
each with its own domain name and unique site content. You can also
offer each Virtual Subhost customer their own unique FTP login with
access to their own subdirectory and e-mail addresses using their
own domain name.
When used correctly, Virtual Subhosting offers
you a powerful, low-cost product that you can use to get your "foot in the
door" with prospective clients. You can use Virtual Subhosting to provide
clients with a small sample site for $10 to $20 per month, later upgrading them
to their own full Virtual Private Servers as their needs expand.
Limitations
For performance reasons, we have established guidelines with regard to the
number of Virtual Subhosts you should place on a single Virtual Private Servers. Keep in
mind that these guidelines are suggested so that the performance of your own
Virtual Private Servers and Virtual Subhost domains is not compromised.
