• Hello,
    I’m trying to setup 2 different blogs, with very different aims- one is professional, while the other is a personal blog. I need some degree of “separation” between the two.
    My understanding is that I can do this with the same hosting package, though to obscure or hide this shared-hosting, I would need to register the domains by proxy.

    Is my understanding correct? Any tips or elaboration would be greatly appreciated!

    Happy Holidays!

    [I should add that I was planning to do the domain’s proxy-registration (and the actual purchase of my hosting) through TOR browser. I’m posting in hopes ppl can explain if i’m approaching this right, if i’m missing things, or if I’m just wayyy overkilling it. There’s nothing wrong/secretive about what I’m doing from any legal perspectives or anything, but sometimes the way you write personal blog posts, may have negative impact upon stated objectives of some aspects of your professional site (AGAIN nothing shady/immoral.. for instance, if the product/services website has a paid advertising space, utilized by a local restaurant, yet your personal blog gives your honestly-negative personal review of said restaurant, this could cause issue for your services/professional website. Will elaborate further if the concern is unclear ?? ]

    If you want to totally hide any and all relationship between the sites don’t use Multisite.

    If you’re okay with it being tracable, then you’re fine to use multisite with domain mapping.

    thank you – just so i can understand the reasons though, can you tell me how, specifically, hosting both sites on the same rented/shared host-server will trip me up? Is it IP?
    (again I’ll mention that the two domain names are already purchased, via separate registrars, adn both registrars setup via domain by proxy. Am just wondering *HOW* pointing these 2, distinct domains to the same hosting account will trip me up – I know it’s not the ‘who-is’, but want to know why you say it isn’t okay to ‘hide’ that way)

    thnx in advance, and happy holidays to you and yours!!

    Well… I guess the questions is what are you trying to hide and why are you trying to hide it?

    It’s always possible to trace a mapped domain to the real domain. After all, you have to tell the various servers what the domain is and where it lives. Someone clever could figure it out.
