say i have a host ABC.net (which I don't :)) and i host it with ABChosting1.net can i simultaneously host it with abchosting2.net so there are 4 sets of nameservers for it, if abchosting1.net is offline for whatever reason it will eventually resolve to the the other host company? this may sound crazy but i'm just curious....

No... at least not that simple...

It would probably be much easier, not to mention more affordable, to sign up with a slightly more expensive and reliable host, rather than go this route.

I agree, if you are worried about uptime, make sure you find a host that is good to start. Also, if one server goes down (if it is a uplink issue) the rest are also likely to go down. Your website is still offline.

Just a thought...
