As you become more familiar with web hosting on BigScoots, you may find the need to run multiple sites on a single service. This is where domain addons come into play. With your Shared service, you can add additional sites as they fit the site ands storage limits of your service. In this guide, we'll walk you through the process of adding another site to your service.

Cost of Addons
Depending on how your service is currently structured, there maybe some additional costs to adding a site to your service. Please check the table below and check your service to see if you are eligible to add another site and have the storage capacity to do so.
105cc | 1 Site, 5GB
$7.75 monthly / $83.40 annually |
155cc | 10 Sites, 10GB
$10.95 monthly / $119.40 annually |
Turbo Diesel + | Unlimited Sites, 20GB
$19.95 monthly / $227.40 annually Additional Storage - +$5/5GB monthly or +$60/5GB annually |
If you currently do not have sufficient site space or storage for a new site, we kindly ask that you upgrade to the next service tier. If you are on the Turbo Diesel+ plan and require additional storage, you can request an upgrade of 5GB for $5 per month.
