You can add secondary or alias domain names to any type of hosting account.
Type | Description |
---|---|
Secondary | Secondary domains have websites hosted in separate folders that work independently of the primary domain. Available for all plans except Economy. You can have as many secondary domains as you like, but we don't recommend using shared hosting for more than ten websites - that taxes the server resources and hinders performance. |
Aliases | Alias domains display the primary domain's website with a different domain name/URL. Available for all plans. |
