Web Hosting Plans - 3 Distinct advantages

Web Hosting Plans - 3 Distinct advantages

If you're going to start a web site, one of your first moves is to buy yourself a domain name. The next move is to locate some hosting. There are a few people on the net today who like to form a web 'family'. This means that one website will be a blog, another will push some other type of product related to the main one, and maybe a forum or discussion site. If you do this, you may want to consider purchasing a hosting plan that supports unlimited domains.

This will enable you to purchase as many domains as you want, and still have those domains covered under your hosting plan, and on one server. This way, no matter what you get into down the road, you still have a hosting plan that covers it.

One of the first of the 3 distinct advantages of this, is the "Convenience". It's very convenient when you can manage multiple domains from one place. You only need to use one central control panel to select the web site you want to work with at the moment. And if you want to switch to another, you're already there. You can create email addresses for all your sites right there from the same control panel. You can add Wordpress to one site and Joomla to another.

With a plan that supports unlimited domain names, you can reach the actual server directories of your favorite websites through the ftp by only logging in once. This is not only efficient, but very convenient, especially when adding images to different sites at one time. It really cuts down on your time.

The second distinct advantage is in "RELIABILITY". This is no doubt high up there on the list for things you want in a hosting company. Down time can cost you money. And if you have all your sites together on one hosting company you and rely on, then you don't have to worry about them like you would if they were spread out over different servers.

Most of your hosting companies try to shoot for an uptime of 99.9%. Nobody is fool enough to guarantee 100%. So this is the way to go with unlimited domain names and all on the same server. This keeps things much more manageable and easier to keep track of.

The third distinct advantage is "AFFORDABILITY". For the most part, hosting plans with unlimited domain hosting are very affordable. Some of them are offered at under $10 per month. When you think about it, if your plan includes unlimited domains, you could literally be saving hundreds of dollars, depending on how many sites you run through it.

These were the advantages that sold me on getting a hosting plan that supported unlimited domain names. It's been well worth the money, and I recommend it for anyone who is trying to juggle several sites from several different place. This is one example where it's good to have all your eggs in one basket.
