    Hi,

    I am wondering, If one has a few sites to be hosted. Can we do this with a reseller account?

    Or would it be better off with getting individual plans?

    thanks

    Getting a reseller plan would be the way to go.

    Some host companies allow you to host multiple domains under a single shared hosting account. It all depends on your disk space and bandwidth requirements.

    You'll save money if you host multiple websites under 1 hosting account.

    Its easier to manage as well.

    But be sure to get sufficent diskspace and bandwidth.

    Reseller plan all the way.

    It keeps your stats and accounts seperate and allows for easier expansion in the future. You do plan on growing, right?

    Hi,
    I would recommend checking out hosting review sites so you can search
    for your requirements. Just search google for "hosting reviews".

    dreamhost seems to have some good plans and they have unlimited domains does that mean I can have unlimited domain names with their own seperate bandwidth and space like a reseller account?

    Be careful with shared hosting plans offering unlimited domains! Sounds good and yes you can add lots of domains much like you would add subdomains. However if you use to many resources (CPU) your account may be shut down. Long before you reach your disk or bandwidth allocation.

    A host with cpanel and free add on domains is the way to go. Hostgator has a great reputation and offers unlimited add on domains for only $10 a month. You'd have to use a lot of resources before they shut you down and even then they give you time to move elsewhere before just turning your account off.

    You would go for a reseller.

    Dreamhost has good prices.
