Moving to CyberWings

WebHelper Joined: 08 Jan 2002 Posts: 52 Location: Israel

I'm an ex-F2S user (I've normally been happy with their services), and now I plan to host my future sites in CyberWings (yes, Daniel, I promise I'll write 4webhelp.net as referer Wink

). Well, I have just one question: I have two domain names, and wish to host them both. Do I need two different host accounts (i.e. one account per domain), or can I use one PLESK account to host both of the domains? (I don't plan to become a reseller - I just want to save a few bucks by not paying full hosting for a domain name that'll just have my resume on it and nothing more)

Unfortunately, you can't do that (try emailing them just in case, they might be nice!), unless you don't mind having a redirect on one of your domains.

I've been using domain redirects for the past two years, and I'm almost completely sick of using them, although the redirection service I've been using of late, mydomain.com, is excellent (and free, and ad-free). I just thought that, since the PLESK interface is supposed to be able to support several domains, this kind of thing might be possible. By the way, just out of curiosity: for 4webhelp.net are you using the COBALT interface or PLESK interface?

We are using a plesk interface.

Plesk does support multiple domains, but it's meant for resellers. You could still ask Shawn if he is willing to let you have more than one domain on your account.

Wouldn't want to stretch the hospitality, now would I?
At the price he's charging I already feel like I'm stealing - I wouldn't dare ask for freebies and favors. I'm going to sign-up the minute my PayPal account is confirmed.

I think I'll just use one account for one of my domains (no problem hosting a ".info" domain on CyberWings, is there?), and for the other domain I'll remain with the redirection to a subdirectory of the first domain (like I had with F2S - it's a good-enough solution. worked for me for well over eighteen months.).

Why don't your just their support? Tell them that you would like to have your site hosted on their server but want to be able to point multiple domains to the site(2 in your case) and ask them to give a quote to you.

Just a note, I don't think there is such a thing as a host that supports .com domains, but not .info domains!

Technically there shouldn't be any problem hosting any TLD domain extension with any host, but I've heard of hosts that refuse to work with certain extensions (specifically, UK-based hosts that refuse to host anything but co.uk and org.uk domains). Can't understand why, though. Seems to be a bad decision to all concerned.
