unlimited domain hosting
Approximately one year ago I was just starting
to paddle my way into the complicated world of internet marketing.
Needless to say, I had no clue whatsoever about how much of my hard
earned dollars I would need to invest on web hosting. Actually I confess
I didn’t even care to investigate the issue. I thought all web hosting
companies charged the same ballpark figure. Besides, I was too excited
with my cool online business adventures; I didn’t want to spend too much
time on boring price hunting tasks. Impregnated with naivety I went
ahead and signed up with the first web hosting company that allowed me
to search for unused domain names. I just couldn’t wait to show of my
new .com biz to my family and friends. It made me feel like a sort of
modern business renegade :)
So, I shelled out $7 a month for one year in advance (that’s $84 in
total) to declare my own little space in the vast universe of
cyberspace. Boy did it feel good. It felt so darn good that I had to
have another domain. Correction: 2 more domains. After all, I read all
the gurus recommended “not putting all your eggs in one basket”. Eggs
aside, I decided that if I was going to join the e-biz game I was going
to do it right from the beginning. I got my 2 new domains, but I still
needed more web hosting space to bring them alive. No time for shopping
around! I was way to busy with other things, like writing articles and
looking for links. To keep things simple I decided to host my new
websites on the same web hosting company. Their hosting plan for $7 a
month didn’t seem too much after all. At this point the total web
hosting investment for my three websites was 3 x $7 x 12 months = $252.
So there I was, proud and exhilarated with my three websites online in
such a short time. Not bad for a newbie! Or was it?
Some weeks later I signed up for various online marketing forums where I
have learned so much it would take me several hundred articles to spill
it all out. However, what really shocked me in surprise was reading the
posts where webmasters would say that they had dozens of websites hosted
on the SAME web hosting plan. The fact that they where paying $5 a month
(excluding the yearly domain fee) to host all their websites under only
one hosting account made me feel like a dunce! While I was forking out
$252 to host 3 websites for one year, these other webmasters where
paying $5 X 12 = $60 per year with the right to host an unlimited number
of websites! I knew I had no one to blame but my laziness for this
mistake. Fortunately, after educating myself, I found a couple of web
hosting services that offer these kinds of low fees. Before you plan on
building your own online empire, I sincerely recommend you to take the
time and learn enough about web hosting prices before you make the same
newbie mistake that I did.
Multiple Domain Hosting Providers:
1&1 Web Hosting : You can enjoy the luxury of multiple
website hosting with any of the packages offered by 1&1. I personally
use this host for this end and find it really easy to setup. It usually
takes takes less than 24 hrs. once your new domains are registered.
Infinity Host : This hosting company also offers
multiple site hosting. However you get to host as many websites as each
package allows you to. The most basic package let's you host up to 3
websites under one account and the most advanced package hosts up to 7
websites.
