How To Host Many Websites on 1 WebHost Plan ??

They all reside in a different folder with the domain names pointing to their corresponding folder. Most web hosts handle this pretty well for you.

It's kinda hard to take a screen shot, because all providers are different. But when you add your domain name on your account, it will create the folder for you. Have you tried it?

As red said, it's not really going to be any help because every provider is different. If you let us know what system your webhost is running, someone may be able to help you.

For what it's worth, take a look here.

EX:
You make an index page. On that page, you make three buttons, one for OS X, one for Windows and one For Linux. Once you click one of those buttons, you go to the specific website. It's achieved by making a folder which contains the website.

So it's gonna be like:

http://www.operatingsystems.com/index.php (purely fictional)
http://www.operatingsystems.com/osx/index.php
http://www.operatingsystems.com/winsucks/index.php
http://www.operatingsystems.com/linux/index.php

Scheme:

That doesn't address the OP's question as it doesn't help for multiple domains. That's just a way to organize multiple sites on a single domain, which may be an option for the OP potentially.

I thought your screenshot was pretty good.

The issue is that the directory structure shouldn't matter, just that the hosting company sets domain1 to /somelocation, domain2 to /differentlocation, etc.

If they require a particular setup, the OP should use that.

Here's what Dreamhost, my provider, does.

You buy a hosting package and it comes with your first domain, say iloveblue.com. Then you add two more domains, ihateyellow.com, and greeniscool.com, to your package.

You log in (via FTP or ssh) to any one of those domains, and you'll see this:


Path for your index.php's (and all related files and subdirectories) are all different:

/home/username/greeniscool.com/index.php
/home/username/ihateyellow.com/index.php
/home/username/iloveblue.com/index.php
