Hello All,

I am a developer and developed some websites and i also registered for domains for the websites. Now, i am ready to host the files and looking for the hosting solutions provider.

If i host all the sites individuallt, certainly it will cost more? is there any alternative solution for this? I want to know more about reseller hosting?

If i subscribe 22$ per month reseller account, is it possible to host all the 13 websites with their own domain names? am i wrong?

For instance, the developed sites are personamrecord.info, donttrythis.info, rewerg.org .... and i want to host all the sites. is it possible at reseller account? can i add more in future?

dongan,

Yes, this is indeed the primary reason why people get reseller accounts :).

Most reseller accounts will either say "Unlimited Domains" [I personally don't like this] or "Host X domains". Just be sure to check if there is enough domains for you, before you order.

With WHM (Web Host Manager) [comes with cPanel based resellers], you can create and manage your accounts--every domain will get their own cPanel account for ease of management.

Not only do you save money--but it is also much easier to manage your sites at one location :).

Good luck.

I'm sorry that I cannot personally recommend any providers - but you can simply look around the forums to find a few names then use the search feature to find reviews on them. This usually works perfect and has helped me select providers for myself in the past.

Good luck.

What's wrong with unlimited domains?

So far the only problem we have come across on shared hosting site
is that customers confuse unlimited domains thinking they are reseller accounts
which they are not.

Hi There!
I would presonally recommned www.hostdepartment.com for a bigger reseller, without a hefty price tag, with good customer service. Now, for a smaller reseller, I would recommend www.explodehost.com :).
