Can I have more than one website on one beam.page account?

Yes. The free tier covers one site; Lone Creator covers three, each with its own address and its own custom domain if you want one. If you need more than three, beam asks you to get in touch rather than listing a bigger plan.

Should my second business have its own website?

Only if it is genuinely a second business. The test is three-part: a different customer, a different name, and a different decision being made. A plumber who also runs a holiday let passes it. A plumber who also fits bathrooms does not — that is one business with two services and it wants one site with two pages.

Does splitting my website hurt my Google ranking?

Splitting one business across two sites tends to weaken both, because everything that makes a site findable — the pages, the links other people make to it, the years it has existed — gets divided in half. Two genuinely different businesses are a different case, because they were never competing for the same searches.

What does a second website cost?

The free tier stops at one project, so a second site means the paid plan at £9.99 a month, which covers up to three sites and their custom domains. The useful way to think about it is whether the second website earns ten pounds a month, because that is the actual question.

Can each site have its own domain name?

Yes — one custom domain per site, and the paid plan covers up to three of them. Each site also keeps its free beam.page address, which carries on working and redirects to the custom domain once one is attached.

Should I link my two businesses' websites together?

Only where a real person would find it useful — the same person runs both and a customer might want to know. Linking them because you have read that links help does nothing: two small sites pointing at each other is not a network, and it can make both look like an attempt to game something.

How-to

Two businesses, two websites, one account

Yes, you can run more than one site from one login. The more useful question is whether you should — because most people asking it have one business and two ideas, and splitting those across two websites makes both of them weaker.

The test

Three questions. You want all three to be yes before you build a second site.

Is it a different customer?

Not a different service to the same person — a genuinely different person, who would never have found you for the other thing.

Does it trade under a different name?

If both things go out under your own name and reputation, they belong on the same site.

Is it a different decision?

Booking a cottage for a week and getting a leak fixed are not the same act, made in the same mood, on the same day.

Situation	Verdict
Plumber who also runs a holiday let	Two sites. Nothing about them overlaps.
Plumber who also fits bathrooms	One site. Same customer, same trust, same decision — it's a second page.
Photographer doing weddings and commercial work	Usually one. Different customers, but they're buying the same eye. Two strong sections beat two thin sites.
Café that also sells beans wholesale	One, probably. Until the wholesale side is big enough to need its own everything.
You and your partner, two unrelated trades	Two sites. Two businesses that happen to share a kitchen table.

Why splitting one business hurts

Everything that makes a site findable accumulates: the pages you've written, the links other people have made to it, the years it's been at the same address. Split one business across two sites and you halve all of it — twice the maintenance, half the weight each, and both sites now thinner than the one you had.

There's a human version too. A visitor who lands on the bathroom site and can't see that you're also the plumber who's been doing this for twenty years is being shown less reason to trust you, not more.

The rule of thumb

If you find yourself writing "we also do…" on both sites, you had one business. Put it back together — redirect the addresses rather than just deleting one.

What a second site actually costs

Worth knowing before you decide, because it changes the sum. The free tier covers one site. A second one means the paid plan — £9.99 a month, which covers up to three sites, each able to carry its own domain. Beyond three, beam asks you to get in touch rather than selling you a bigger box.

So the honest question isn't "can I have two?" It's whether the second website earns ten pounds a month. For a holiday let, one booking a year probably settles it. For an idea you haven't started yet, the answer is usually to wait — and there's no rush, because the first site stays free either way. The current detail is on the pricing page.

If it passes, set it up properly

Give it its own everything.
Its own project, its own address, its own contact details and its own words. Two sites sharing a phone number and half their text are one site wearing a hat, and readers can tell.
Name the projects after the businesses.
Not "site2" or "new-thing". In six months you'll be looking at a list and wondering which is which.
One domain each.
Attach a domain to each site separately. Each also keeps its free .beam.page address, which carries on working and redirects once a real domain is on.
Don't cross-link them for the sake of it.
Link them where a real person would find it useful — same owner, and a customer might want to know. Linking because you've read that links help achieves nothing: two small sites pointing at each other isn't a network.
Keep the admin in one place.
One account, one login, both sites. That's the actual convenience here — not a discount, just fewer passwords and one place to look.

The other mistake

Less common but worse: one website trying to be two businesses. A homepage that opens with "welcome to Dawson's — plumbing, dog grooming and holiday cottages" tells a visitor that nobody is really concentrating on the thing they came for.

If the test says two, build two. The cost of getting this wrong in that direction is higher than ten pounds a month.

Same login, separate sites

If it's genuinely a second business, it wants its own site — and both live under one account, which is one fewer thing to keep track of.

Questions people ask

Can I try the second site before paying?

The free tier is one site, so a second one needs the plan first. What you can do without spending anything is sketch the second site's content — the pages, the words — and decide from that whether it's real.

What if I need more than three?

Then beam asks you to email rather than clicking an upgrade button — the plans stop at three deliberately. If you're running four or more websites you're doing something specific enough to be worth a conversation.

Can I move a page from one site to the other?

Yes — it's content, so you say what you want moved and where. Put a redirect on the old address if anyone had linked to it.

Do the two sites compete with each other in Google?

Genuinely different businesses aren't chasing the same searches, so no. Two sites split off one business often do compete, which is the strongest practical argument for not splitting.

What if I sell one of the businesses?

Cleanly separate sites make that much easier — the buyer gets one project and its domain, and nothing of yours is tangled in it. That's a decent argument for splitting when the two really are separate.
