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: <quote> 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. </quote> I am sure that other hosting companies are similar. -- Stuart On 27 Jul 2009 at 16:36, Steve Erbach wrote: > Drew, > I guess my question would be, does that mean you're paying for that > additional IP address as if you paid for a completely new domain? > > Steve Erbach > Neenah, WI > > > On Mon, Jul 27, 2009 at 10:54 AM, Drew Wutka <DWUTKA at marlow.com> wrote: > > > The 'SomeName' part of SomeName.SomeDomain.com is a reference to another > > 'system' on that domain.
