Hello
I am looking for a type of Web site hosting account, that allows for the possibility of hosting multiple web sites, without the need of purchasing, domain names for each of these web sites. I have presently an account at Homestead.com, with many web sites hosted, where this is possible (the web site addresses are something like this: myname.homestead.com). I believe this is called a subdomain. Is it? This is the type of hosting I am looking for.
Can you help find such hosting services ?
Thank you for your attention.

You are correct, what you are looking for is sub-domains. What you need is a reseller account that offers these so you can create accounts using anything.yourdomain.com

I think you can also do with a hosting account with CPanel that allows you to create sub-domains..(if allowed by your provider). Do a good research before you signup any host.

Some hosts also refer to these as "machine names", since "subdomains" sometimes have different definitions depending on the provider.

Hi noos,
You are correct they are in fact refered to as subdomains and most hosts provide these in their hosting packages however to do what you want you will need one of two things:

1.) Your own domain name, so you can create subdomains under it such as sub.yourdomain.com etc.

2.) A host that will allow you to use subdomains of their domain, such as sub.hostsdomain.com etc.

I hope this helps.

There are many webhosting companies out there that with a normal account, no reseller account needed, you can have a number of subdomains at no extra costs.. some companies charge extra for this service, but some do not.

Do some searches and you will find what you are looking for.

Just look around and you will find the ones that allow this.
