If web hosting package includes additional add on domain then you can host additional domains/ website. Just log into your control panel account and  click on add on domains option.

If your plan has add on domain option than it depends on type of control panel(which you are using). Login to the control panel and find add on domain option for adding domain name.

If you are hosting websites of your clients then better move to re seller hosting account so that you can offer separate control panel for every domain.

If you are looking for add on domain feature than you need to ask your host about the resources allocated to your account.

If your site is heavy then you will face problems for stuffing multiple websites  into one shared hosting account. In such case re  seller account or VPS would be best for you.

Get multiple domain names plan but it is usually a higher and expensive plan.

[Maneet]

Add on domains is unsafe, unless you have HTML sites only. 

[Trisha]

Why is it so? Please explain.

[Maneet]

I agree that add on domains can be one of option. But most of the hosting providers have set limit on adding number of add on domains. Because if you host multiple domains under one account and if any one of them starts over using resources, then all domains under your account will be affected. Any abuse complaint against your domain will result in suspension of your account, which will again affect all your domains. If you are planning for hosting more domains (more than 5) it is better to add them through individual account.

Managing multiple domains from a single hosting account is possible, you need to have sufficient space available with your account. It will require you to correctly configure some DNS settings and create addon domains.

One of the greatest advantages is hosting bills for all domains are charged to a single billing account. This allows a webmaster to keep track of the websites that had overages and upgrade them.
