Hi,

I'd like to find a cheap web hosting company that can let me host an unlimited number of domains for a cheap price. I've come across some Virtual Private Server services that cost about $50 per month. I've also come across some shared hosting sites that cost $20 per month. Both of these services offer an unlimited number of domains. My sites are very tiny (<2mb), so I don't need much in the way of storage capacity. Some are php/mysql, so I do need some processing power, but very simple sql query type stuff.

Sometimes you seem to get what you pay for..... if I get $20 per month for unlimited, might I be going with a solution that's too cheap? (it's versaweb (dot) net...any experience with them?)

Some hosting companies permit hosting of adult sites...not that I'm doing any adult material, but might this hurt my sites if I'm on a shared host with other sites of that sort?

THanks!

-Matt

See dathorn.com I've been with them since 2002 and the service is just first class. Have my 6 clients and 3 personal website hosted with them (US$ 13/month) and never had any problems at all.

And that is not very cheap, you can find heaps of them for less but the service might be questionable.
I had a very bad experience with cyberwings.com in 2001-2002 and learned my el-cheapo lesson well.

powweb is ok. cheap price for all the junk you get. you can have multiple domains and subdomains as well as other services

only problem is seems there cluster02 keeps shutting down from DOS attempts allot but they are working on getting that fixed. though im sure new customers will most likely be on another cluster.

Their prices seem pretty good. Make sure you do a search at WebHostingTalk to check they don't have too much negative feedback before you order though. Other options to consider are TJR Networks and Myacen.
