[thelist] Hosting reseller question

[PeterV]

I asked a hosting provider the following question:

- On an advanced reseller plan, does "Unlimited Domain Pointers" mean I
can create unlimited virtual domains?
They answered:
"Yes.  But they will be aliased to other accounts (aka, inhereit the
settings of the account you add them to)."

What does that mean? On most reseller plans, I can create unlimited
name-based virtual domains. (Like you can do in Apache httpd.conf). What
is this alias stuff?

Thanks!
Peter
