Hosting Multiple Joomla Websites on 1 Platform
Hi
I wish to post more than 1 website on our host.
Say,
We have our landing page for our website (www.a1telecomms.co.za) - we wish to access 3 or more self contained websites. We are operating with Joomla.
This is to assist us in developing various websites until such point we are ready to host them with their own domain & on a separate platform.
Please assist in a method to develop this.
ADDITIONAL ELABORATION:
When we click on the home page we then should be presented with certain hyperlinks to get to each of our web developments. Each web development should be self contained and would use its own Joomla template. How can we go about this?

Hello
As you think about this, consider setting up subdomains (via your hosting company's cpanel, for example.).
You would setup domains such as:
http://cellphones.a1telecomms.co.za
http://tablets.a1telecomms.co.za
http://desktop.a1telecomms.co.za
Usually setting up subdomains are free, with most hosts. And easy to do. And you only have to "buy" one domain and your hosting company will usually not charge you a separate hosting account to set up the various subdomains.
Then you go into each subdomain and set up your separate joomla installation. Still with separate databases following TheHiTechCoach instructions.
Using subdomains keeps everything separate so you don't actually "see" the 3 folders as you work on the site. You only see the site you are working on. This keeps everything separate. Easier to backup, for example, each site truly living within its own environment.
For example, to work on http://tablets.a1telecomms.co.za you would log into:
http://tablets.a1telecomms.co.za/administrator
and the same with the other domains.
It's a subtle difference, but I think using subdomains is something to consider.

I agree with Rowby that using subdomains are something to consider.
I use then a lot with great success.
