I would start by reading and understanding what bitcoin is first. You can read the white paper via the link below, where it says "the gospel according to Satoshi".
As far as the best coin? I only use bitcoin. Litecoin has some following, but almost all alt-coins are a train wreck and some are outright scams. I would avoid them until you completely understand the bitcoin protocol. At which point you will want to avoid them.

Some? You mean 90% of the altcoins are outright scams, if not more. Right?

You can download a wallet for each of these coins. The Core versions of the wallets are used the most as far as Bitcoin and Litecoin goes. For dogecoin there are plenty of wallets, but if I was you I would stick to the wallets that the official coin sites offer.

You can have as many wallets on blockchain.info as you desire (please use 2 factor authentication when you create each one). Maybe think about using the Bitcoin Core wallet too for better security, you can have many bitcoin addresses within one wallet - https://bitcoin.org

I personally wouldn't bother with any other coins, they're a load of scammy rubbish. Only Litecoin 'maybe' holds some degree of respect in the real world.

RodeoX is right though, you should educate yourself on what you're dealing with.

Of course you can have more than one wallet  ;) (mobile wallet, desktop wallet, hardware wallet, paper wallet, offline wallet and online wallet)
Certain wallets are known for the advanced levels of security like Armory or the original Bitcoin client (Bitcoin-Qt).
Most popular wallets are Mycelium, Xapo, Armory, Hive, MultiBit , Blockchain, Coinbase, Electrum ...

Yes you can. You can use as many you want, although you use for example: xapo wallet with same IP.

It's also prevail to other wallet coins you have been mentioned.

They are different coins, so they have different wallets. You can (and should) create multiple addresses for each coin.
Bitcoin is the main cryptocurrency, others are alternatives. I suggest you to read more about cryptocurrencies in your local board.

I get lost about page 5 myself.  By page 7 it turns to math and might as well be written in Klingon. :D But I thought the first few pages are sort of  readable.

true, the white paprer is a bit intensive for any non-geek, but OP should at least have a look at this thread https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=7269.0 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=7269.0) before blindly wandering in. there is a lot to get familiar with.

also, OP, experiment with various wallets using very small transactions... they say that is what faucets are good for... getting small amounts of btc to experiment with.

as for using multiples of the same wallet client on the same machine... you don't need to, or at least i dont know why you would want to... for example... if you have one multibit client, you can create new wallets within it (look at the left panel on the UI)

I think you can have multiple online wallets from the same provider... I've never bothered to try it, dont use online wallets much, they arent secure. but if you must, i would suppose you could make multiple accounts with multiple emails and usernames.

it just sounds like a recipie for disaster though. If you cant hardly understand how to use btc in the first place why do you want to multiply that by piling up many wallets? Keep it simple, learn the ropes... then go nuts.

thats just my advice. good luck.

More wallets idea is very good . more wallets comes more security and some times you can use them for getting more money ........ like CLAMs coins

Hey serdar, welcome to the forum!

As you've heard from others, there are no limits on how many wallets you have. I do have some new information to add, here's a site to help you narrow down the list on what bitcoin wallet may be best based on your specific preferences: https://bitcoin.org/en/choose-your-wallet

Good luck to you and if you're looking to fill your new wallets with some free satoshis, check out my profile for a link to my favorite bitcoin faucet and lottery.

Cheers!
