Thanks! I didn’t mean to get off-topic. Still learning the ropes here.

Thanks for the help and advice. I installed WordPress on my laptop, and have been learning all I can during the past couple of months. I have been working on a future (possible) blog site of my own. At this point, on my local WP install, I have downloaded a theme that was similar to what I wanted, modified it to suit my preferences, written a few posts, and learned (through a lot of mistakes) the settings that I will want to set before I actually start posting (such as permalink settings, etc.). I have a lot to learn yet, but I feel fairly comfortable with WP at this point.

I have taken your advice into consideration – about opening a separate, second PersonalClass account for my blog. I have not decided completely on doing that, but I am leaning that way. I have just a few more questions, if you don’t mind.

1. If I do so, will it be any problem to move the domain (currentaffairsblog.com) from my current account to the new account?

2. If my wife does decide to start her blog, would you recommend the same setup (opening a third account) or would you recommend just making hers as a subdomain on the second account?

3. If we would just add hers to the second account, I realize that we would have to do another WordPress install there also. Do you have any experience with WordPress MU? Would we be better off starting with MU on the primary domain on the second account in order to plan for (possible) future blog sites? Or, would that be a bit much for me to tackle with only a couple of months of WordPress under my belt at this time? I don’t remember seeing an MU option on Fantastico, so I assume that I would have to set it up manually. Again, would that be too complicated for a user with as little experience as I have at this time, in your opinion?

4. My wife has a question also. She set up an affiliate account with Arvixe a few months ago (she does much more social networking and emailing than I do). If we do open a second account, she asked whether there would be any benefit to her if I used her account link to open the new hosting account. I assume that there would be no benefit for a current host account holder, or the family of an affiliate account holder, but she asked that I at least check on it before we opened the new account. So, I have asked.

Thanks for all of your help – I hope I am not being a nuisance here,

Ron

Thanks! This is still in the “maybe” stage, but we wanted to see how to handle it. Thanks for the quick response – as usual. We’ll see where it goes from here.

Thanks again,
Ron

You could use your PersonalClass account for up to 6 domains. Each domain can have whatever you want on it. The content of each extra domain would be in a subdirectory of the main domain and you can setup the domain to link to each directory. After doing so, you would go through Fantastico and install WordPress inside that directory.

While some users choose the method above, others choose to setup completely separate hosting accounts for each project. With that, they don’t have to deal with addon/parked domains and can develop each site independently from that of another. The site would also be easier to hand off to another person if it was on its own account.

Do contact support if you need further assistance with linking more than one domain to PersonalClass.
