[AccessD] Simple web project

A lot of  WWW sites use shared IP addresses - especially smaller, low traffic sites. 

A different domain or subdomain does not require a separate IP address, with most hosting 
companies, you have to pay extra for your own IP address.

The one I use a lot is  QuadraHosting.com. This from their website:

Domain Hosting Features

Domain Aliasing
Point several domain names to your web site for free. For example, you can have 
www.yourbusiness.com, www.your-business.com and www.yourbusiness.com.au all pointing 
to the same web site.

Sub Domains
Create multiple sub-domains for free. For example if you have the domain name 
"blogg.com", you can have joe.blogg.com (or www.joe.blogg.com), jane.blogg.com, 
tom.blogg.com, etc.

Custom DNS Records
We provide an online DNS editor so that you can add custom DNS records to your domain 
names.

Dedicated IP Address
We can provide dedicated IP address to your domains / web sites should it be required.

I am sure that other hosting companies are similar.
