How Many Websites Can I Have with Shared Hosting?
Core Plan Websites
On a Core plan, you can have both a primary domain and an addon domain. An addon domain is a completely separate website with a different URL — if your primary domain was examplesite.com, then your addon domain could be something entirely different like myothersite.com.
Core plans also let you park a domain — redirect a domain entirely to another site — and create an unlimited number of subdomains. Subdomains use an existing URL, but place a different word or set of characters where ‘www’ would normally go. Your main site example.com could have blog.example.com, forums.example.com, recipes.example.com, each one with different site software installed.
The only other limitation to keep in mind is that the Core plan supports up to 40 databases. If you create dozens of subdomains and use software that requires a database like WordPress, you may run out of available database slots.
For more clarification on different types of domains, please see our article on new domains.
Launch, Power, and Pro — Unlimited Websites
Our Launch, Power, and Pro plans now offer an unlimited number of sites. That means unlimited addon domains, subdomains, parked domains, databases, and even disk space. Please keep in mind that usage and traffic can cause an account to use more resources than the processing power available to it. Don’t
What is Included in Shared Hosting?
| Feature | Description |
|---|---|
| cPanel | Shared Hosting users will be able to easily customize and manage their account with cPanel. cPanel, or control panel, is a user-friendly interface that will allow you to manage email, domains, files, and more. |
| Free Domain Registration | All of the Shared Hosting plans include one free domain registration or domain registration transfer for one year. |
| Free SSL Certificate | All Shared Hosting accounts come with a free SSL that users can enable once the plan is purchased. Though the free SSL is perfect for most, users also have the option to purchase an additional SSL certificate via the Account Management Panel (AMP). The SSL certificate is used to secure your website and acts as visual reassurance to visitors that your website can be trusted. |
| Email Accounts | Create any professional or personal email accounts for your domain for free. InMotion offers secure email via IMAP, so you can easily access your email from anywhere and stay synced across multiple devices. |
| Live 24/7/365 Support | In-house, knowledgeable support agents ready to assist you and your hosting needs by phone, chat and email every day. |
| NVMe SSDs (Launch, Power, & Pro Plans) | Non-Volatile Memory Express (NVMe) Solid-State Drives are an advanced, power-efficient form of data storage. These SSDs help serve up large amounts of data faster than older forms of data storage and help keep your site performing its best. |
| Backup Manager | All accounts are compatible with the InMotion Hosting Backup Manager plugin, which allows you to perform restorations, monitor backup storage and control which data is backed up and how often. The backup plugin is automatically added to cPanel after purchase. |
| Softaculous One-Click Installer | Easily install over 400 applications, like WordPress, with our free one-click installer Softaculous – instead of installing the applications manually. |
| Coding Languages | Use the coding language (MySQL, PHP, JavaScript, Node.JS, etc.) you know best to build the website of your dreams. |
| Max Speed Zone™ | We utilize multiple data centers, premium bandwidth providers, and advanced routing technology to ensure our network is faster than the competition. This means faster websites, downloads, and email. |
| SSH Access | All accounts are able to secure remote access via SSH for command line use for easier site administration management. |
| WP-CLI | WordPress Command Line Interface (WP-CLI) is pre-installed on all Shared Hosting accounts and allows you to manage your WordPress website(s) via SSH. WP-CLI allows you to efficiently maintain your WordPress website(s) without a web browser. |
| Free Server Scans | Our Shared Hosting users will also enjoy free server scans. Whenever you suspect malicious activity on your server, you can submit an account scan ticket request. For enhanced security, users can also purchase Sucuri. |
| Website Builder | BoldGrid, our easy-to-use, drag-and-drop WordPress builder, is included with all accounts. |
