10 domains+10 hostings=$$$$$

Hello, I'm seeing people replying to other threads telling them that having more sites is the key to adsense success. Well, what if your site doesn't go well? You would have to pay about $100-120 a month! How did you make yours? Did you make 1 or 2 sites, then when you got a good income, did you expand?

 

For hosting people usually use dedicated hosting or reseller so there is no need to pay $10 for each domain.

 

You get an hosting where you can have addon domains... so you launch the site and once it makes enough you get a hosting for it. You can then add domains to that one and on and on...

 

but your hosting package must be able to support the bandwidth from more than one site, no?

 

There is plenty of bandwith to go around and it is very very very cheap. Forums tend to use a alot of bandwith but static content type sites use very little.

 

You'll find that most hosting packages these days are quite cheap. I set myself a budget of $100 to start - that paid for my hosting for a year, and all the money that I've put in to purchase additional domains, etc have all come from my revenue.

 

My last hosting is 10 gig/day of bandwidth... if I bust that, then I'm rich...

 

Don't go for multiple hosting accounts. go for a hosting package which allows multiple sites hosting. This way you do not have to pay for multiple hosting plans. This can be done for under $10 per month. HTH.

 

I figure a dollar per month will pay for registration and hosting. (reseller accounts).

 

I agree, it depends on how serious you are. If you plan to have multiple sites and you want to invest in a dedicated server of VPS, then in the long run it will probably save you money.

 

I don't like to have too many sites on the same server... if it's down you have a bunch of sites off the map... One established site with a new one on one host... an other busy site and a new one on an other hosting... one is down, the rest is still doing $.

 

Yes, this will be the right thing to do, once your site becomes popular - then you can also justify its costs to host with a different host.
however when you are starting out and hosting expenses are a concern, it may help to have them on a shared account, till they can justify costs for separate accounts

 

Wow, that's heaps! The max. I have used for one website is 5GB in a month, although I can see the site using around 10 times that each month within the next 10 months or so!

 

Depending on the site, you can figure what kind of hosting is best... at one point, you have to have expenses anyway when you start rolling... I think spending a bit more to spread things around is a good investment... really, if a site makes 0.30$/day, it pays for itself... so far I have only one site that would not pay itself, well not really, it's still hosted as an addon domain and is just costing me the domain name, and it does pay for it's domain name... even have enough to pay myself a good lunch... lol

 

10 gig/day?
Do you care to share the host name?
Are they reliable?
Thanks & Regards.

 

eWESTPost,

Most hosting companies are pretty generous with bandwidth nowadays. I use Godaddy (250GB/month), and Powweb (300GB/month). Dreamhost offers 1TB (1000GB) per month. All cost under US$100/year.

 

I can recommend Powweb, and UnitedHosting have always done me well for reselling accounts. I'm much happier with dedicated servers though, and the cost is minimal when you fill them up.

In my experience though, trying to save a few bucks on hosting can bite you in the ass - downtime and/or slow sites are a real pain for your visitors and will deter crawlers.

the key is to have all your sites on different c-class IP's and link them together in a natural way...
