Frequently Asked Questions

A "membership" represents you as a person. It's how you identify yourself to us, and how you use our services.

An "account" is how you pay for our services. It contains the funds that you use to purchase hosting. You might have multiple accounts, if you want, but you don't have to. Just as one membership can have several accounts, one account can fund several sites.

It's a little like a bank. You are one person, but you might have two savings accounts: one for college, and one for "rainy days." The bank (if they know you at all these days) knows that you are just one person.

What you cannot do is have two memberships. That would be like opening an account at your bank, then going out to your car, putting on a fake moustache, and going back in to open a second account.* You could, but why?

*At least, I assume it's like that, but I've never actually tried it. My bank has a pretty good sense of humor, but why push my luck?
