just curious most of you only use one host or more?

10 years ago

Its totally depends on your needs. If you have multiple sites and not happy with your current hosting provider than you can opt for one or more. However maintaining one host will be more beneficial for managing your all sites at one place.

I use four hosts at the moment. I pay Hostgator about $95 per year, my UK hosting company about the same, Weebly about $80 per year, and Six Apart whatever I pay them (can't remember, now - it's not expensive).

I could manage without four different hosting locations (arguably I need only two: US and UK) but this was just the way my business grew: I was effectively limited at the points at which I made my hosting decisions by both my business's needs and my own technical limitations.

I'll be leaving Hostgator soon (after many years there), because my prepaid-for year there is nearly up and their customer service sucks, since the EIG takeover.

4 host so total cost per year roughly?

for me ....I think of "buying one compete site with host " this person is offer ..
i check all the details etc it good ...

next my present sites in my host .is not doing well.

so here come the problem which I believe most iM will encounter is " funds to maintain....I already pay quite a lot .....go wasted I treat it as an learning experiences..

so I don't know should i cancel my present host ..and buy the complete site with the host provided.

as I already mention , I have check the host , details etc information of the site been offer I see it seem worth to invest

Thanks

Not sure, exactly; about $300, give or take.

That's for quite a big business, though, by "independent marketer" standards: I'm in 9 different niches, and have some unusual hosting requirements (including for a forum with automated back-ups and other things). And I also haven't done things the most economical way, partly because I hate dealing with this stuff, and it's all "business expenses" anyway.

Can't you move the site you're thinking of buying to your existing host? Or move your existing sites to the host of that one? (It's a pain in the neck to have to do, I know

).

I spend about the same, maybe slightly more. I have a couple of dedicated servers plus a VPS and some reseller accounts. I prefer not to risk one site taking down the whole lot, and I run 3 completely separate businesses.

You are paying like 30$ per month, you can get VPS for that and then see true speed of your websites...

Answer to OP:
If you use PBN you need to have 1 host for each website. So many PBN users over here use like 100 hosts or even more. I m talking about host accounts...

Signing up with one or more than one web hosting companies totally depends on your choice. However, it is preferable to sign up with just one web hosting company as managing your hosting platform becomes easier. You can discuss your hosting needs with the web hosting company that you consider and they will provide you with a suitable hosting solution.

Because it's now owned by EIG, exactly the same as Hostgator and all those other formerly good hosting companies.

EIG is the parent company. Bluehost is not EXACTLY the same as Hostgator otherwise they would just be called Hostgator.

Bluehost sits under the EIG umbrella and operates independently of EIG and Hostgator.

No, Jason - it isn't "like saying that".

EIG-owned hosting companies quickly move toward sharing many features, many staff, centrally relocated servers, and so on ... which isn't so true of Audi and Lamborghini.

My own Hostgator hosting service, soon to be abandoned, has been devalued and has become unpleasant and unreliable in exactly the same ways and for exactly the same reasons as other people's hosting at other, different, companies now taken over by EIG, has been devalued and has become unpleasant and unreliable.

No, that's not correct.

All of the cPanel "brands" are under the same control -- Bluhost, Hostmonster, Hostgator, Justhost, etc. The only one not yet assimilited (like the Borg) is A Small Orange. But give it time. BH is already dumping USA based CS and moving it to India from what I read a while back. That's what they're done for 10+ years now.

Anyway, @OP, I use several for several different needs. Some are better for dedicated, VPS, reseller, etc, than others. For some sites, I like to have an upgrade path, meaning that host needs them all.

Devilfish168 I presently use two different hosts. Both 'based' in the US but not necessarily owned by US entities if you know what I mean.

Depending on your needs, you may want to look at an inexpensive Reseller Shared Solution as opposed to just a shared hosting account. This can run you from $13.95 US per month and up.You can then sell cPanel hosting to potential clients or just simply do nothing and place all your websites on your reseller account . Naturally there would be restrictions on bandwidth and disk space but this can give you freedom and flexibility to some extent.

As your business grows, you can always upgrade.

I would recommend going with one hosting provider which also hosts your domain names too. It makes managing your website a lot easier. Start off with a shared hosting package and as your site grows, you increase your hosting plan.

Not a good idea at all. If you part ways on bad terms with your host and they have your domain, you could have trouble getting your domain and even lose it. It's happened to me.

Domains and hosting should ALWAYS be separate. ALWAYS.

I run my own server. I have tried shared hosting in the past but find its far better to have control over your own kit.

I doesn't have to be expensive to get a virtual machine hosted (or VPS) and many hosting providers will let you start off small and then grow the VM as you need to.

I have hosted with Memset in the UK for a while it generally works out pretty well.

If you are not a Linux wiz then pay the extra for management so you don't run into security issues and unwanted downtime!

I slightly prefer Reseller instead shared hosting. Firstly, its easier to manage one website in one control panel rather sharing many domains in single cpanel. Secondly, you could hosting other people website than charge them. This will be useful for anyone looking for small hosting who just want their website hosted. If your into PBN, you might need more than one hosting services. Its entirely depend on your plan whether its only for personal usage or private network.

Some cloud hosting, shared, vps, dedicated. It's important to fit it with your requirements.

Ideally, of course it would be best to have it under 1 company but I've seen hosts come and go or suddenly break down or just wont upgrade. It's just better to be prepared and be on different IPs

All of those are hosted on 2 different HawkHost hosting accounts, half of the domains in the HawkHost acct. in my name and the other domains in the HawkHost acct. of a trusted close friend. Diversify your risk. A lesson I learned the hard way with HostGator back in 2011.
