more then one store?
I am planning on opening my store soon. I will be dealing with gifts and novelties. I may have the opportunity to get other items that I want to make different stores for. When it comes to hosting will I need to have a sperate plan for each store? Or could I get one hosting plan and have multiple stores? Any advise on what I should look for as far as size for the hosting plan?
Thanks all

Some hosting companies offer a reseller plan that will allow for multiple domains. So that might be one option.

As far as the merchant account, you will need to consider that as well. If you are selling the same items, etc - one merchant account might be feasible but make sure that your DBA appears everywhere and on the receipt as well. This will help to prevent chargebacks.

I am going to have my business name, which is my last name. Then all the stores will be DBA.

when a web hosting compay says that you can say 5 domain with one account, is this what I should be looking for? So I can host multiple stores? Is 20,000 MB of disk space and 500 GB of monthly transfer good for an ecommerce site?

Unlimited domains, 20GB space, 1TB bandwidth... $8 a month... too easy

Yes - that wold mean that you can have 5 domains - example1.com, example2.com, example3.com, example4.com, and example5.com

As far as trafiic,etc - those are some pretty large numbers and should be OK for you. No one can really answer that question because you never know what might happen. We had one small e-commerce store being hosted - no problems. Then one day the local newspaper picked it up in Los Angeles and the traffic spiked. Hopefully that will happen to you also

Thank you all for the help. I did a search on google and came up with Dot5 hosting. They seem to be liked.
