How Many Domains Can I Use In An Image Hosting Account?

Theoretically there is no limit to the number of domains that you can use in your image hosting account. The limit comes only in the form of disk storage space that has been assigned by your service provider. In other words you can have multiple domain names assigned to your folders and sub-folders carrying categorized images as per your requirement. These domains can be hosted from a single website or multiple websites depending on the amount of disc space available to you. Options are made available to you depending upon the kind of service you have signed up with the service provider.

This can be best understood by understanding what does the word "domain"mean in the world of Internet image hosting. It means the name given to one or more computers having different host-names* but having common domain name (that is registered) and always appearing at the end of the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) in server names. For example yahoo.com is a domain name and each user is given access to this domain specific to the account name (in the form of a sub-folder). This is the simple reason behind the fact that no two yahoo mail users can have the same log-in id because no two folders can carry identical names in the world of computers.

So coming back to our question on hand, it is possible to create multiple domains in the form of sub-folders or sub directories in your image hosting account. The difference comes in accessing them through a single website or multiple websites. So if your account allows only a single website, it will have only one root directory* and all the different domains that are hosted by you would internally point to the same root directory. But if you have top web hosting that could cater to creating different websites, you will have these websites pointing to different domains on the hosting server.

Thus, in all the cases, the limit to the number of domains provided by image hosting either hosted on a single website or multiple of them depend on the volume of space allocated for your use. Currently there are many image hosting services that allot disc space in the order of gigabytes that can be assumed as "unlimited"in layman terms. In addition to this so-called free' domain access, there are attractive options and tools to upload images, from different sources namely your PC, camera, mobile etc. Interfaces* are available to make the images or pictures Internet-compatible whatever be their original format.
