Named instances..anything different than default ?

We have always used default instances of SQL Server and wanted to start
considering multiple named instances on one physical host. Anything to watch
out for other than just the name change which goes as
Hostname\NamedInstance1 ?
ThanksHassam
Each instance on the server consumes memory , just be aware.

I believe licensing varies by both SQL Server version and edition. Separate
licenses are needed in some cases but not others.

checked with our MS rep about it.
