Hosting providers such as Hostgator let you add one domain and then all other domains you add also become a subdomain of the first domain I added. I don't like that (e.g. for SEO reasons). The only shared hosting provider I've found so far who doesn't do it is ATCI Hosting, but I don't want to use them.

Do you guys know any other companies?
 


What you need is a reseller hosting package with Cpanel / WHM. You can find those at most hosting shops. Site5 is good.

How does it hurt your SEO? I've never really thought about that and almost all of my sites are on hostgator.
 
I don't get the "subs of your original domain" you speak of.

You can have generally have the following:
* parked (all domains resolve to the same root folder)
* subdirs (root points to public_html and additional domains point to public_html/subdomain) and this alsp also known as add-on domains.

What you say though sounds like you are talking about: newdomain.originaldomain.com which is not anywhere near what you are actually talking about, I'm sure.

BTW, resellerzoom.com: $6.95/mo reseller, 50 domains whm, cpanel per and they are fine with wildcard dns.
 
Simple. If you have .htaccess it will propogate to all your subdomains and hence - all of your farm.
I just got that problem with hostgator - and after dealing with their lazy and useless support (probably some students from weekend college) it turn up like that. Either VDS or dedicated. No any other idea.

Funny...I just went through the same garbage with Hostgator. Their support sucks!
 
I use host monster and have been very satisfied with them. Their support has been superb for me. as for the sub domain thing, while my domains are parked in the public file they all work just like a regular domain. just cannot sell them off as an independent.
 
Switched to HostGator's reseller account 20 days back & still now no problems.
I am lucky I guess..
 
Hell yeah, lucky!
Wait for something unexpected, and get a list of super c*nts at HG - Josh, Mathew, Ford, P*something, Patrick, - they will f*ck your project with "fantastic" skills.
Get to their forum and read. Simple.
I'd stay with Apthost, sometimes they are nice and supportive, but not for long.
Just got 1 dedicated server, DirectAdmin panel (also myself), RedHat installed with my specs and real hardcore admins at 70$ per month.
Plus - Anti DDOS, GeoIP, few bullet proof features, instant update, very responsible admin staff. What else ? O, I forgot - peace of mind.
It sucks, when retarded student from weekend school alters files and settings on your very own and private domains. No more *** shared hosts for serious projects.
 
Talk to Sly from Phatservers (icq: 147479144), tell him u-Bob sent you and he'll give you 1 month for free.
