Yet another "What Hosting provider" question

[Bilb]

Chaps,

I've got a hostgator "super secret" reseller account. I got it because I had a few client accounts on there, but never really did any reselling. However nowadays I have a few domains, but no real need for anything too amazing.

Amusingly Hostgator won't let me downgrade and I need to get their basic account and then manually transfer the stuff, and then cancel the old account. I might as well move to a better hosting provider now.

I'm looking for a cheap and cheerful hosting provider, that will allow me multiple domains and sites on the one account.

Tried 34sp, but it's one account - one domain, unfortunately.

Any others suggested?

Cheers

servage.net?

Multiple domains, etc. Can't fault them, and they're support has been great when I've needed it.

I'm using Provision Host atm

http://provisionhost.com/

cheapest webhosting package is $4.95. All their webhosting packages allow for unlimited domains.

Eh? - i had 4 sites with 34sp and only ever had one actual 34sp account - or am I missing something?

Well they told me I could have sites as sub-directories of the main site. But I couldn't have individual sites.

Eg:
Hosting as "Trickery.net", but then also having "microsoft.com", and "apple.com" on the same account.

Sorry but thats a bag of utter shite.

I have two accounts with them - one personal that I've had for years, the other for work.

On the personal one - I had several websites and associated hosting packages - though I've closed them all down now.

On the work one I have the same - including a mix of business hosting and standard no frills stuff - we have around 8 domains on that one single account.

Unless you are talking about 1 hosting acount and then having multiple domains pointing to that?

Yup, what I wanted was:

One hosting account - three domains each pointing at their own website.

NOT:
One hosting account - three hundred domains all pointing at one website.

34SP inform me that the former CANNOT be done, and the latter CAN.

I have a TSO reseller account, very good for the money:

They also give me a kick back for referring you

[Ned]

ooo, seems I can create voucher codes too.

Use: NEDHOST

for 10% off monthly bill.

I actually have the cloud hosting ultimate pack: https://www.tsohost.com/product/web-...timate-hosting

(used to be called cloud reseller account so I got confused)

Possible.

You could buy the one hosting account, then say get the 3 domains to forward all traffic to another url (domain forwarding think its called - tired, can't remember, anyway) - host each one under a seperate sub directory off the hosting account...

Only saying it because I did it myself a while back - with 34sp. Its not "pretty" and some links do expose the real url but if you are clever you can hide them - all boils down to how much value you place in it and if its really worth the extra config against just buying seperate hosting.
