Building on and : decide first whether you want the new domain to show the same site (alias/parked) or host a separate site (addon/multisite). The setup differs, but both are straightforward.

Practical checklist:

  • Point DNS for each domain to your server: create A/AAAA records to your host IP.
  • In your hosting panel, add the domain as an Alias (same site) or as its own site with a separate document root (names vary by host: Add Domain, Addon Domain, Domain Alias).
  • Enable HTTPS for every hostname (both bare and www). Modern TLS SNI lets multiple certs share one IP, so you do not need a dedicated IP per domain .
  • If this is for marketing, avoid duplicate content: either 301-redirect secondary domains to the primary or use rel=canonical on duplicates.
  • Email per domain is separate: set MX, SPF, DKIM, and DMARC for each if you plan to send/receive mail.

On a VPS/dedicated server, you do this with name-based virtual hosts. Example for Apache:

<VirtualHost *:80>
  ServerName example.com
  ServerAlias www.example.com
  DocumentRoot /var/www/example
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *:80>
  ServerName other.com
  ServerAlias www.other.com
  DocumentRoot /var/www/other
</VirtualHost>

This approach (one IP, many hostnames) is called name-based virtual hosting Apache docs. After adding the vhosts, request HTTPS certs for each domain (e.g., with certbot) and test with curl or your browser to confirm each domain serves the intended site and redirects behave as expected.

As long as you have complete control over your web server (or virtual machine), you can host as many domain names as you like on it. If you don't have complete control over your web server, you may have to pay your hosting company per domain.

Yes, you can. But only when the hosting site gives you the features of adding many domains into one hosting site. First, ascertain the type of hosting you are utilizing. Second, is it permissible to host multiple domains on a single hosting account, or will there be individual charges for each domain added?
