> 99.9% of websites on the Internet will only let you create one account for each email address.

Is it common? That seems like useless and impractical limit. E.g. for e-shops, one would like to have separate accounts for personal purchases and for business/corporate purchases.



It's kind of weird when you can login to different accounts with the same username, which is typically the email address. I mean, amazon lets you do it, and I've had two accounts with the same email address and password there; but it's still pretty weird. IIRC, I had two accounts with different addresses and changed them into the same address. A lot of accounts don't let you change your email address at all, so they solve the problem that way.


Yes, it really is like 99.9% of websites.

If you need multiple accounts, use multiple emails addresses, 1 each. You should keep your personal and corporate email separate anyhow.
