    There are tons of Hosting sites that offer multiple domains on the hosting plan. You are looking for add on domains or just domains allowed. The plans will range in price depending on how many you want to be able to add.

    Unlimited domains does not mean unlimited space and bandwidth. You need to make sure that any one site will not use too much of either or you will still be limited on how many sites you can have.

    This Hosting Advice article may help.

    You really need a dedicated server. If you host in a shared server and your websites get a lot of traffic you would use a lot of CPU and your websites will stoop working. It happened to me. Hosting companies trick people with those unlimited offers. It just impossible to have unlimited bandwidth and unlimited hosting space.

    There is no such thing! Bandwidth can be unmetered but not unlimited. Same with space. They can say unlimited but as you start using too much, they will suspend your account. If you are just starting out, I would not be too concerned with how much you have as long as you can host a few sites. Go with a host that you can upgrade later if you need to.

    Too soon to purchase a dedicated server. It is expensive and requires some good experience in host accounts. New sites rarely become that popular that fast and you can always upgrade later.

    Unless you have a ton of content and a lot of visitors you won't need a dedicated server. Unlimited space isn't really the case, as everyone has to cap you somewhere, nor is unlimited bandwidth a reality, but in most cases a site isn't going to draw more traffic than the hosts can handle. Most hosts will let you host multiple domains, but you might not need to have multiple domains if all you want is a graphics site an domain.
