Question about Hosting

[OptimaDomains]

Hi everyone,

Just would like your opinion on this. If I am running 5 different websites, what is the most cost-effective way of hosting it? Currently, I have 5 seperate accounts on a shared server.

Is this the right way to go about it, or can I do something else to cut costs?

Thanks

The cheapest option would be to get one shared account that lets you addon 4 more domains.

Im not sure exactly how that works. Is it just separate folders in the same account?

 

[bbalegere]

Yes there will be different folders in the same account.If you have domains for each of them you can also use the addons domains feature to point these domains to these individual folders.

Choosing a hosting provider that allows you host multiple domains under one account will save your money without the need to open a new account for each site. You can use the Addon Domain function in your control panel to add multiple domains under your main hosting account.

Thanks for all your answers. Rep added.

Steve, I'd also point out that you can use a reseller package if you preferred to have a control panel and accompanying aspects for each domain. A reseller package would be fairly cheap, though it may run a little more than a shared plan. However, it gives you more flexibility because you have a login and cp for each name.

Hello
I suggest you use dedicatd IP for each your web site. It will be better for your future SEO.

I suggest you use different hosters it will much better. I think that you will be able to find hosters with good price and quality.

Maybe you'd be better to have a VPS. I think it saves your funds much.

Utter nonsense.

To the OP,

What kind of sites are these? forums? blogs? static html?. What kind of bandwidth do you see in total each month and how much space do they all use up?

Personally id suggest that a good reseller would suit you but we would be able to help more knowing the above.

You may take a good reseller account from ahosting.biz and resellerzoom.com. Both companies are good and reputable. Though ahosting has an in-house support.

Of course, he doesn't need dedicated for each site, but maybe just one for all of them, but in that case his requirements must be significant and he doesn't say anything about it.

u can host unlimited web sites in one account on a shared server

Hi Sbaik,

Why are u wasting money by buy 5 diff. web hosting accounts on shared server? U get unlimited sites hosted on a single account. that too at cheap prices, say, from $5 - $15 per month. Many hosting companies do provide unlimited sites hosting. Check out lunarpages, nxtdomains.com, etc. - these companies provide huge space and bandwidth. so you can host many sites in single account.

Hi

There are many hosts which allow you to host unlimited domains on one account.

Just look in the web hosting offers section.
