Answer:
Yes — depending on your hosting plan, GHFS Hosting fully supports hosting multiple WordPress websites under the same account. This article explains how it works, what you need, and how to set up additional WordPress installations using Plesk.
1. Check If Your Hosting Plan Supports Multiple Websites
Some hosting plans allow only one domain, while others support multiple domains or unlimited domains.
You can check this in WHMCS under:
-
My Services
-
Select your hosting service
-
Look for “Addon Domains” or “Number of Websites”
If your plan supports more than one website, you can host multiple WordPress installations.
If not, you may upgrade your plan anytime.
2. Add a New Domain or Subdomain in Plesk
To host another WordPress site, you must first create a new domain or subdomain.
To add a domain:
-
Log in to Plesk
-
Go to Websites & Domains
-
Click Add Domain
-
Enter your domain name
-
Choose a hosting directory
-
Save
To add a subdomain (example: blog.yourdomain.com):
-
Go to Websites & Domains
-
Click Add Subdomain
-
Enter the subdomain name
-
Choose the folder where it will be stored
-
Save
Each domain/subdomain acts as a separate site.
3. Install WordPress on Each Domain Using WordPress Toolkit
For each additional website:
-
Open WordPress Toolkit
-
Click Install
-
Select the domain or subdomain
-
Complete the setup (admin credentials, site name, etc.)
Each WordPress installation will be independent:
-
Separate themes
-
Separate plugins
-
Separate dashboard
-
Separate database
4. Resource Considerations
Multiple WordPress sites share your hosting resources:
-
CPU
-
RAM
-
Disk space
-
Bandwidth
If you host many websites, choose a plan that provides enough capacity.
Signs you need an upgrade:
-
Sites load slowly
-
CPU/RAM usage is frequently high
-
Backup and update operations take longer
GHFS Hosting support can help recommend a suitable upgrade if needed.
5. Using Separate Databases for Each Site
Each WordPress site requires its own database.
In Plesk:
-
Go to Databases
-
Create a new database for the new site
-
Assign a user and password
The WordPress Toolkit handles this automatically if you install through Plesk.
6. Multisite Option (Advanced)
WordPress Multisite allows:
-
One WordPress installation
-
Multiple sites managed from one dashboard
However:
-
Not all plugins are multisite-compatible
-
Requires advanced configuration
-
Better suited for networks or large projects
Most users prefer individual installations instead.
7. When to Contact GHFS Hosting Support
Contact support if:
-
You are unsure if your plan supports multiple websites
-
WordPress installation fails on the new domain
-
Resource usage becomes high
-
DNS for the new domain is incorrect
-
You need guidance choosing the best plan for multiple sites
Support can verify your plan details and assist with setup.
