Virtual Subhosting, is one of the most powerful features of
our Virtual Server System. This feature allows you to support
multiple domain names that each resolve to their own unique subdirectories on a single Virtual Server. In other words, you
can host "bob.com" and "jim.com" on the same Virtual Server, each with
its own domain name and unique site content.
You can also offer each subhosted customer their own
unique FTP login with access to their own subdirectory and
e-mail addresses using their own domain name.
This feature is offered free of charge for the Virtual Subhosts
you maintain. For performance reasons, we have established guidelines
with regard to the number of Virtual Subhosts you should place on a single
Virtual Server. Keep in mind that these guidelines are suggested
such that the performance of your own server, and the other sites that you
subhost on the server, is not compromised.
AW 25 Server: around 5 low volume subhosts
AW 75 Server: around 25 low volume subhosts
AW 200 Server: around 60 low volume subhosts
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 Server as their needs expand.
We will add a new domain name (Virtual Subhost) to an existing Virtual
Server for a one time $30 setup fee per domain name. You can request
an additional domain name for a Virtual Server you administer by E-mailing
BWSD 24 Hour Service.
