Can I run 5 blogs under 1 domain?

[twix70]

Basically I want a small basic version of something like blogspot. I want to run 5 or 6 blogs seperately under 1 domain ie: www,xxx.c0m/bill etc
Can this be done easily and above all cheaply?
I would like each person to obviously have a seperate log in so each person can only blog on their own blog.
Many thanks

Absolutely, it wouldn't cost anything other than hosting and the domain name. Just have 5 separate Wordpress installations (or whatever platform you choose).

The easiest way I have found is to use wp-hive. It allows you to run several separate blogs off of 1 wordpress installation. I found it easier to use than wpmu if you are only doing a small amount of blogs. I think you would have to set them up as sub-domains like www,bill,xxx.c0m instead of www,xxx.c0m/bill . One of the benefits to using 1 wordpress installation is that you can update the software to all of them at once, so it is easier to maintain.

WPhive is a plugin !! which integratees into WP it seems while WPMU seems like a whole program by itself !!

You can even create separate subdomain names for them like

domainname1.yourdomain.com
domainname2.yourdomain.com

etc to give it your own branding
