How should I cut my hosting costs?

[Ferraristi]

Over a period of years I have purchased quite a few domains through UK2.net. For the ones that I went on to develop websites for, I also purchased webspace from them for each separate domain. Over time this has developed into quite a lot of money every year just to pay for hosting.

What would be the best way to keep all my websites online but pay a lot less for hosting?

Thanks for any help you guys can offer.

What you are looking for is a reseller / multihosting account or a VPS account.

Thanks for your reply. Any recommendations?

Sure! From my personal experience hostgator is an excellent company for multidomain shared hosting and Servint is excellent for VPS. I have also heard excellent reviews for http://dotable.com.au/.

This is a CRAZY deal: http://dreamhost.com/shared/

Seems like it would work well for you, "unlimited domains hosted"

Oh yes, I completely forgot them. Dreamhost is also pretty solid.

We go through http://www.mojohost.com. We lease one server and have the option of throwing as many domains on it as we want. It'd probably be more cost effective to do something similar instead of doing everything seperately.

www.Bluehost.com allow you to host 6 domains on one account.

I use Dreamhost and I like them very much. Let me know if you decide to use them and I will hook you up with a discount code.

I pay about $24? a year for Dreamhost to host about 20+ domains but it's not very fast and sometimes it times out, so it's a compromise.

Dreamhost still has their 777 promotion going on I think, enter 777 when you sign up, and it's like $10 for a year, plus a free domain. There's really no reason to go anywhere else as long as they're doing that, in my opinion.

Dotable all the way. Extremely fast servers located in the US and good customer support. The owner has been doing this for a number of years.

I pay $16/month for a reseller package that offers unlimited domains, 3 gig of hard drive space, and 30 gigs of transfer.

For a real cheap solution though, don't some domain registars offer free domain forwarding w/ the purchase of a new domain? This would seem like the cheapest route to go if you ask me.
