Multiple Hosting using Linux Server on Google Cloud Infrastructure

Multiple Domain Hosting in Google Cloud is used to host multiple domain names, or websites, under a single web hosting account. It will definitely save your money since you can sign up for an account with one company and manage your websites from a central location.

Since on the same hosting account all the domains would be hosted, therefore, you can administer each domain simultaneously through the same control panel.

Publish your domain names using Google's infrastructure for production-quality, high-volume DNS services. Google's global network of anycast name servers provide reliable, low-latency authoritative name lookups for your domains from anywhere in the world.
