Anyone currently manage or track multiple Webhost Providers?

Maybe you have some sites with Hostgator and some with another provider etc.

Does anyone currently host sites with different providers?

If so, how do you keep track / manage all the information between them?

What information do you keep track of?

    I have multiple sites (w/multiple domain names pointing to them) with 4 different providers as I don't want all my eggs in one basket should a router go down, etc.

    I keep a simple .csv file w/domain name, dns servers, etc. and wrote a php script that can display the data including link to the site on a simple web page.

    There are any number of scripts that can crawl a page and report dead links - makes it simple to see if one of the sites is down.

    For passwords - I use a common string of characters on all my sites and just add something different for each provider.

      I have several sites on 3 service providers.

      I write everything down on the back page of my TODO book. Along with other usernames, passwords, account details etc.

      Having more than 1 provider means that if I am hacked, only a third of my business income gets disrupted.

    There used to be a piece of software called
    "Domain Dashboard" which did this...

    Looks like it's about to be relaunched.

    I use a note pad to keep track when online and then store it in a filing cabinet when I'm not using my machine.
