You are probably talking about "virtual hosting" where you rent space on a server and can add a number of hosts. Most likely, that would be a "name-based" server where the domains all share the same IP address, but can be found with their individual domain names. The hosting biz is very competitive and a major shake-out is going on, so good luck!
