Got my 5 domains...Question on hosting...

15 years ago

I use Hostgator and am very pleased with the service. For less than $10.00 you can host as many sites as you want on one account. They also have a toll-free number that you can call for help if you have a problem.

Check themout at hostgator.com

I use BlueHost.com, but I also like HostGator.com. They are both great and inexpensive, and let you host unlimited domain names.

I second hostgator. Don't host with godaddy. With hostgator you also get support 24/7 and for like 9.95 a month you can have unlimited domains and sites. If I have a problem I just submit a ticket and usually they have an answer within a few hours.

Thanks

I've been a member of bluehost for over a year now. I am completely satisfied with their service. They allow you to host unlimited domains so you don't have to worry about buying hosting for each domain. That would be very pricey. What you do is buy hosting for one domain and then you put the other domains as add-ons.

You can use GD but their hosting is not as good as HostGator or IX Hosting. I use both HostGator and IX Hosting for business and personal.

I second Hostgator. Their support is great. and when I say great I mean GREAT. So far, all of my messages have been answered in less than an hour, one even 5 minutes after I have posted the ticket. Recommended for beginners.

Any suggestions?

Try 3ix.com they offer really cheap hosting for your domains and very fast servers too.

Thanks

I agree with MarieReyes. I have been using 3ix.com. They give you hosting for as low as $1 per month. I have my sites there and there is no problem with them.

Thanks

I have been hosting with virtualave.net for about 10 years now and have never had any problems with them. You don't have to buy a super hosting account for each domain name. I can only have six or seven domains hosted & account and that's no problem. All the do is make a separate directory for each web domain and set the homepage to point to thats a domain. It was easy to set this up and saw only have to pay for one hosting.

I have will also have many he said host later as reliable so I'd agree with everything has been said so far here.

Thanks

Hostgator is awesome.

Use the coupon code wordpress or jury to get your first month of the Baby shared plan at $0.01 to try them out.

I have two reseller accounts with them ATM and couldn't be happier.

Use a promo code:
FREEWWW4LIFE to get 1 more free domain name (renewed free for life).
EXTRA_IP_4_LIFE - free IP dedicated IP address for life
25BUCKSOFF - $25 off your initial bill

You also get:
1 Free Lifetime domain (in addition to the one above)
unlimited users
unlimited bandwidth
unlimited disk space
50GB of online backup in addition to unlimited space
unlimited mysql databaes
unlimited domain usage (same price as 1 domain)
unlimited subdomains (which they randomly give you different IP addresses for)
one click installs for lots of software (joomla, wordpress, forums, etc)
excellent support
upgrade to VPS for $15 a month if you want/need
green hosting

Normal prices are $6 a month to $10 a month. I bought the three year plan after buying the 1 year plan the first time. I have not found a better deal anywhere

Yes it's an affiliate link, but I've been with them since Feb 2006 and I love them. Here are other hosting companies I've tried:
godaddy - I hate them, they upsell you 50,000 times and support sucks
liquidweb - good, but pricey
rackspace - way overpriced, service is just as good at dreamhost
wewill - this guy sued me when I exposed a security hole
a few others that I have forgotten over the years

Thank you guys for the hostgator reviews. I might use them if I need vastly different IP - even though dreamhost gives me different IPs for free (though not dedicated).

As with all shared hosting, make sure you list your website in the following as appropriate:

http://websense.com
http://opendns.org

shared hosts is kinda like apartment living - your neighbor could be a thug and you won't know until the google cops evict you. (that's why I like the VPS solution offered above lol )

Host Gator is very generous with their packages and if you need more, they are very accomodating. Almost all of my clients and myself use them and are very happy.

Stay away form Go Daddy for hosting. Nothing but problems.

Thanks,

What type of sites will they be? If they are simple content sites or blogs they should be fine on a cheap shared or reseller hosting account, but if they are database driven community sites then spend more and get a VPS or semi-dedicated plan.

I am also a newbie and very happy with HostGator. They have a very strong support system with live chats. They techies there will walk you through whatever you need step-by-step.

Also, you can host all five of your domains with one single account and save a lot of money. Ask them to help you learn about this!

I hope only the best for you as you start out!

I'd suggest you stay away from hosting at GDaddy because you're going to run into quite a few problems when you want to start running 3rd party scripts - especially those that need the IonCube loaders to work.

Another reason is for the support... their online help is "iffy" at best.

For example I had to dig REAL DEEP to figure out how to host domains that were not registered with them. Yes, it's possible, and they do have multiple domain hosting (their deluxe plan or something like that) but from the perspective of usability for a newbie... rather try some of the others that have been recommended.

And, yeah, I do host some of my domains with GD... been with them a long time.

EDIT: Oops, just saw you went with HostGator... well, I hope this post helps someone.

Thanks
