Is it possible to host multiple wordpress blogs on one domain?

A frequently-asked query:

Hi, I’m hoping to have multiple blogs on my own domain some day because I have blogs under different topics such as weightloss, christianity and photography, and I want people to be able to visit each as they please without feeling like I’m shoving my own interests into their face (I know the God thing upsets alot of people). Also, I don’t like the idea of having a zillion different categories under one blog, so I do have several different blogs (4 or 5) under the same wordpress account. I just need to know that if I create my own domain, will I be able to visit each blog within the frames of that website, or will I only be able to install one blog and just add links to the others?

I also plan on writing a few books some day and becoming a best seller and possibly running my own photography business so I’ll need to have it all under my name so that people aren’t running around like headless chickens all of the internet trying to find my work.

Any insights/advice? Can you have more than one wordpress blog installed on your domain? Thanks!

    If you are hosting a domain with any domain hosting company, you can install multiple blogs in multiple folders. So your blogs can look like www.yourdomain.com/blog1 and www.yourdomain.com/blog2 and so on.

    You can also use subdomains. a subdomain looks like subdomain1.yourdomain.com and subdomain2.yourdomain.com

    Hey,

    If you are a starter and it’s a hoobie, you can have diffrent blogs URLS with same design and links to the other blogs in the navigation screen.

    If you are an advanced user I will recommend to have your domain and add a subdomain for your main domain such as subdomain.mymaindomain.com and use the same design on all blogs and link them in the main menu.

    If it was me, I would separate the blogs with different domains if they are not really related to each other. For example if it’s a news site I would use categories, if it’s a global site with many topics i would use sub domains for main topics only.

    I have two installed on one domain; the second is in a different subdirectory, and a subdomain points to it. No problems.

    You can install as many as you want, put them into subdirectories and change the database table prefix for each
