multiple-domains

Hi

I would like to host 5 word-press blogs on my unlimited server space i bought from a web-hosting company similar to hostgator.

Now the companies say it is technically not possible to direct more than one domain to the hosting package and i would need to buy multiple hosting packages .

I read about vhost (apache),domain alias,ip forwarding

But not sure how ask my webhost about it when they say it is not possible

here is what i want to do

xhost.com/folder1 << www.x.com xhost.com/folder2 << www.y.com xhost.com/folder3 << www.z.com xhost.com/folder4 << www.aa.com

the web host has a cpanel so dont know if they give/have access to vhosts if they are a reseller

thank you for your help
