You can't have 2 FREE accounts on x10hosting....
You can have one FREE account, and one or more PAID accounts if you want... But not more than ONE free account....
If you don't want to pay, i recommend you to create two subdirectories and there put in one one website, and in the otherone the other website...
For example...
http://yourdomain.x10hosting.com/website1/
http://yourdomain.x10hosting.com/website2/
and in the http://yourdomain.x10hosting.com/ you can put an index file in which people can choose to which website go...

Good Luck,
fedlerner

Not sure of how this'd work cause I haven't messed with it personally, but x10 does appear to support subdomains...

If this works like it does on other hosts, you could go like this:

http://site1.yourusername.x10hosting.com
http://site2.yourusername.x10hosting.com

Haven't messed around with it personally, but if it works like my previous host, it'll essentially be two completely separate websites. Can someone with more experience with x10's subdomains clarify this at all?



federliner was right about one thing for sure though - you can't have two separate free hosting accounts. Using subdomains like my suggestion above uses the same account though, so it'd be LIKE having two, although both are tied to the same login and password.

but I cannot do this, because both sites are different to each other in topic. one site is commercial and other is personal

I'll try to explain a bit better since I obviously lost you somewhere...

Gmail is very different from froogle, but both are ran by the same company.

Your two sites are very different from eachother, but both are ran by you.

The google example is a good one - gmail.google.com, froogle.google.com. Completely separate so files between the two don't interact or affect the other, but both on google.com.

Now replace gmail and froogle with your subdomains (for the sake of explaining, call them commercial and personal), and google.com with yourusername.x10hosting.com. They'd be separate but both ran by you. It'd look like http://commercial.yourusername.x10hosting.com, and http://personal.yourusername.x10hosting.com.

If that doesn't quite do what you're looking for, then you're either a) going to need to use different hosting since you can't have more than one free account, or b) going to have to pay to have one of the accounts on x10.

Personally I don't see the problem - my old host had 2 subdomains in addition to the main one, and the only way to tell that they were all mine (aside from the copyright thing at the bottom) was to notice the url bar had the same ending to it. Can you explain why the subdomains wouldn't work?

LOL! google is the name of a company, and my first website is www.mhashmi.com which is my name, and second site is a site with a different name, ok leave it.

is there any other service like x10?
