I have an app in Play Market with package name, for example com.mycompany.appone. And I want to publish another app with package com.mycompany.apptwo from another account. Is it allowed? Or same company should publish all apps from the same account?
It is allowed, although probably not recommended, simply because it might be confusing for users and developers.
You can use, its allowed.
But creating second account will charge same as it did for creating first account.

I am a newbie android developer, my latest app has package name of com.myWebsite.appName, is that ok since it will be uploaded to the client google play account, or should I change it to com.clientWebsite.appName
I will create my own developer account very soon, and I want to make sure that won't cause me problems in future when I use com.myWebsite in my package in future and upload them to my own personal account
Thank you
MORE CLARIFICATION
So can I have com.myWebiste.appName1 under a developer account and com.myWebsite.appName2 under another developer account ?
Spend some time and go through this link on Android package names. The store requires each app to have a unique package name hence the need to use com.clientWebsite.appName in the event that in future you may need to publish your own app with com.myWebsite.appName as its package. We've all been there
first time building and publishing an app.
I used PhoneGap to create an app.
I got this message when i tried to publish the app on Google play.
App violates the impersonation policy
Not sure if the problem is the package name.
My package name: com.phonegap.organisationnameappname
Should it be like this instead: com.organisationname.appname
I am using phonegap in the package name, could this be the cause of the violation.
I am using content form the organisations/company's website to create this app.
The app is for them. I am using my personal developers account to publish the app. Could this be the issue. Using my account to publish the app for them?
Concerning the package name.
Example: com.organisationname.appname
What happens if you don't have an organisation name or organisation website? Can you use any name as an organisation name?
Can you have a package name like this: com.appname with no organisation name?
Is it possible to have more than one app on the app store with the same package name?
Thanks in advance
Yes you cannot use any brand or company name in package or in name without permission.
Please read Impersonation and Intellectual Property guidelines:
https://play.google.com/about/ip-impersonation/
If your app includes any image, logo, name etc. belonging to some brand, that would be counted as policy violation. Detailed explanation is presented in Developer Policy Center linked below. Note that, there will be violation even if the brand is not on Google Play which means if you are using something e.g company logo that you are developing app for, that could be the counted as policy violation by Google Play.

I'm developing an Android Personal App which I want to make this app to visible only for specific people.
Is there any way to provide access through Play Store login ID?
Is there any way to provide access through Machine ID?
After a lot of searching I got an idea for 1st requirement Private Channel may be preferable. But I'm not getting this:
To enable the private channel feature, administrators and developers must use Google apps for an education, business, or government domain.
My app doesn't belong to any of the three categories(education, business, or government domain). Anybody, please share your ideas regarding my requirement. Thanks in Advance.
You can use the Alpha and Beta testing feature in the PlayStore.
https://support.google.com/googleplay/android-developer/answer/3131213?hl=en
A production APK is not required to publish an alpha- or beta-test app
You can create a google+ group and only release that app to members of that group.

Application names on Google Play don't need to be unique, and it's possible to request Google to remove violating apps through trademark claims or DCMA. What's not really clear, however, is how it works with package names.
What if I'm developing "the Google app" (forgive me for a silly example) but somebody beats me to registering com.google?
Can I prevent this from happening by uploading a signed, though unpublished APK to Google Play? Or do I actually have to publish the empty app?
Can I request Google Play to remove the existing app with its package name (and allow me to take it) because they've illegitimately used "google" in the package name?
Another question appears here on Stack Overflow, but doesn't really address package names.
Yes. Just make a build of the app, sign it, submit it to your account, but Save, don't Publish. You've then reserved your package name, but nothing is publicly visible.
You can make a Copyright claim, whether you get anywhere is another matter...
Most normal people won't care or even notice what's in the package name, so for me I'd be more concerned about the branding and whether someone else were using a copy of my branding to promote their own offering.
I'm an Android developer and I already have an Android market publisher account. There are a couple of apps in my account.
I have an idea to create a little Android development brand(company)
and publish those new apps in a new publisher account.
So I want to know that is it legal having two Android Market publisher
accounts for the same person. Will I get into any trouble?
Also will Google suspend me if I use push ad networks like Airpush and leadolt?
Thanks a lot.
I don't see a problem with an individual having multiple Android Market accounts. Each will need to be tied to a different Google ID (email address). They may also have to be tied to different Google Checkout merchant accounts, although I don't know that for sure.
You cannot publish the same app (as determined by the package name declared in the manifest) on two Android Market accounts. You can ask support to transfer an app from one account to another.
I have no idea about using other ad technologies. I suggest that you ask the Android Market people directly. See this page for support info.
I don't think google will block app if you use Third party Ad-Suppliers.
I have been using TapJoy Ad service for an year.
