Host multiple wordpress blogs on one server

Could you host multiple wordpress blogs on one server or one domain? They answer to this question is
simple, it would be yes. You can setup multiple wordpress blogs at one shared web hosting or dedicated
server. And for multiple wordpress blog to work together, each of the blog must be hosted at own
storage space and directory, and it should be using own mysql database. The resources cannot be
shared.

For one domain name, you can host the wordpress blog at homepage or at multiple subdomain or sub
directory. For example you can have /blog1/ and /blog2/ and so on. If you are getting unlimited domain
hosting plan, just like the web hosting you signup from ixwebhosting, you can host multiple domain
names and each domain name can host their own wordpress blog. Hence you have multiple websites,
and each with wordpress blog in it. There is no need to package ten or hundred of wordpress blogs in
one domain name, when you can have multiple domain names too.

blogs to be created and hosted in subdomain name.

Wordpress blog setup

A online friend sign up ixwebhosting yesterday, and he want to setup WordPress blog in his new ix web
hosting plan. Ixwebhosting is using h-sphere control panel, and there is no fantastico available to help
script installation. So, you have to do it by uploading the wordpress script and setup manually.

First of all, download the latest version of wordpress from wordpress.org. Unzip it, and ftp upload to
ixwebhosting server. Upload to the domain folder where you want the blog to setup at. Once the
uploading done, we need to create a new mysql database for it. Login to ixwebhosting control panel,
and select mysql, and from there create a new mysql database. Once done, add a user to the database.
This step completes the database setup. You will need to input this database login detail to the wp-
config.php file in the wordpress, and upload it to server as well.
