How many customers can I host on one site?

[Anthony]

Hey all, I couldn't get a clear answer from searching...

I decided I'd use my site to host people's blogs etc...at first it'll make me break even with hosting, then move up on the profit scale . But I was wondering how many people I can stick on the site so as to not wreck the whole shared server environment. Keep in mind these are personal blogs.

Also, even if I move up plan to get more disk space/bandwith, the php scripts running on all the sites will doom me. Is it possible to buy another plan (so as to get another % of the server) and still host all those (second plan) sites under the same site

Thanks for the help!

Also, I went in WHM to change my parked domains/addon domains to unlimited (from the previous 5 allowed)

Now I wrote in unlimited for both....and I confirm in WHM it stayed unlimited, but in Cpanel, its like this

Parked Domains 0 / 0
Addon Domains 0 / 0


Will it let me add them no problem, or....what?

Thanks again!

AAaaaand another question (gee im full of them in this so very early morning ) to have my own nameservers, what do I have to do?Do I need to register them somewhere?

[Frank Hagan]

On the first question, I don't think personal blogs are very resource intensive, so it really depends on how many people come to visit the blogs and enter comments on them. I have a forum with 250 members, but I never have more than about 15 people on line at any single time (and usually no more than 5 or so). No problem there.

Don't write unlimited; put a "high number", such as 99999999999999999999.
Second, for the custom name servers, you need to have registered your
domain at a domain register and be able to edit the DNS stuff.


Example of how to make Custom Name Servers w/ GoDaddy

As for the blog, like Frank said, it really depends how many people
are constently online, entering comments, etc.

Some blog scripts are less intensive than others, as
it is for basicly any script(s) out there, for anything. (forums, gallery, etc.)

Why not?

Why not?

Well, I've heard alot of people say that on these forums and others;
and I've used it and it never has failed me yet. (Plus, who's going to use 999K ?)
