Post subject: Multi-business web sites
Archived from groups: alt>www>webmaster (more info?)
I've run across some clients who would like a simple web site, but don't
want to deal with any of the "ownership aspects" of a site. For example,
one is a local folk singer now putting out her 2nd CD - who would just
like a site promoting her and the CDs. Another is a small business that
would just like a simple web presence….
I admit I'm new to the hosting possibilities, but can this be done?…………
I create a site called www.townweb.com (not really the name). Create a
home page with links to several different "businesses". So one business
might have an address of www.townweb.com/marysmusic/. Another might be
www.townweb.com/joespizza/….
Is this "legal?" Do hosting services allow this? Is this "reselling?"
Any problems I should be aware of? Thoughts............
Thx - Russ.

Of your its legal.

You may want to consider subdomains eg <a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://www.marysmusic.townweb.com" target="_blank">www.marysmusic.townweb.com</a>

It's not reselling because all websites are just subdomains on the
original domain. There are tens of thousands of sites who do this very
same thing, so go for it.
