As many as the plan counts and the resources can carry, and those are two different sums. The first is a matter of numbers: each plan says how many sites or add-on domains it includes. The second is a matter of weight: all the sites in the account use the same processor, the same memory, the same disk and the same mailbox space. Three light sites fit better than one heavy one.
What is shared, and what is not
| Shared by every site in the account |
Separate for each site |
| Disk, processor, memory and simultaneous processes |
Each domain’s folder of files |
| The same panel (cPanel) and the same credentials |
Each one’s database (if you create one per site) |
| The backups of the whole account |
Each domain’s SSL certificate |
| The server’s same IP address |
Each domain’s mailboxes |
Adding and keeping control, step by step

After the first month, open Resource Usage and look at the whole account’s usage. The panel does not split usage by site, so if one of them is much heavier, it is the one that fills the limit.

If one site is out of proportion (a shop, a members area), move it to a plan of its own. The others stop paying its bill. See changing plan.

Two examples, to see the difference
Three brochure sites with few visits fit comfortably in one account. A shop and a busy blog in the same account compete for the same processor, and when the shop peaks the blog slows down. The two cases ask for different things, and it is the weight, not the number of sites, that decides.
|
If one site in the account is attacked, the others are at risk. They all run as the same user on the server, so an infected site can reach its neighbour’s files. For clients’ sites or different people’s, separate accounts isolate better. See reseller hosting or one plan per client.
|
|
One failure takes them all down. If the account hits its resource limit, every site in it suffers at once, even the one with almost no visits. The more important they are, the more it pays to separate them.
