Need to track forwarded domains, can anyone recommend the right host?

I'm really new to hosting, I would appreciate if anyone can point me in the right direction.


Basically my situation is this: I have 300 domains currently pointing to the same affiliate program. Right now, I'm fowarding them at the registrar and I cannot see the individual traffic stats for each domain. I'm generating sales, but I can't see which of the domains are giving me the most traffic.
What I'm looking for is a hosting plan, similar to Hostgators Baby plan with unlimited domains...but one that offers BULK management and bulk entry.
It would be absurd to sit there and enter 300 domains indivually, especially when I may do it again in the future with other domains.
So far DynaDot hosting and HostGator don't fit my needs, can anyone recommend a good place? Thanks!

Setup google antalytics and with your host then have a forewarder code. Its about a 10 min setup. Ask your host they should be happy to help you.

Thanks for the reply Andy. I signed up for HostGator last night but they were far from helpful. I asked if I could send them a list of domains to bulk add for me since they had no bulk option in the CP, and they said simply no. As it is now, I would have to enter each one and create details and password, etc. No way am I wasting my time doing that 300 times.
I'm so new to this, so don't even see where in my hostgator CP to enter the Google Analytics code. Do I need a site for Analytics? I have no website, I'm just forwarding domains.
I use one Main domain to redirect to my affiliate link, and all the other domains forwarding to the Main domain.
And if I get it set up I won't have to add the domains individually right? It will simply track the domains being forwarded to my main one?
This seems like such a simple thing, but it's a pain! At least for a hosting newbie like me. Thanks for the help or any other pointers you can give me :)

But you said hostgator did not suit you at at all. I can't understand you anymore here

I thought I made sense. I have a hostgator account, but they cannot 100% do what I want, which is the ability to BULK add domains for management. I'm looking for a new host that can.

Hey I had a client with a similar thing. I can see what script he used or if theres an easy way of doing it and post back for you.

Sorry, I don't know any hosts that let you do bulk adds, BUT ...

You said you're redirecting them all to one domain which is then forwarding to the affiliate merchant, right? Why not set up something on that primary domain to capture and record the referring domain before forwarding the visitor to the merchant? If the referrer string isn't being passed, try redirecting them to a dynamic page on the primary domain, each with an identifying variable.

You shouldn't need to host them all UNLESS your registrar is, for example, doing all redirects as a 302 and you want them to be 301's.

That might be not allowed on the shared web host but in case with the VPS or dedicated server I believe that you will have possibility to add them in bulk.
