Like with Wordpress MU you can also run one Joomla core with several websites. This allows you to have several domains pointing to your webspace, and each domain having a different theme, and content.

Configured correctly you can even run all the sites on one database. All our plans support this however you need to be aware the multisites on a shared server is not long term solution. If you have a few low volume sites, then this is for you, however if the sites get busy its not just the bandwidth you need to worry about it the server usage.

As with all shared hosts we have to enforce a 5% server load limit per hosting account, and with our servers this isn't a problem. However remember that all your sites will be on the same hosting account so you need to really think it through before you decide to try the multisite option. This option isn't of any use to our resellers as they can deploy as many separate hosting  accounts as they like, all with the individual limits. But we have put this on the blog to give you the option.

Have Fun
