Hosting Multiple Cheap Niche Domains

Ok, you just finished reading 5 Tips About Registering Niche Domains. Your evaluations laid before you a game plan of acquiring and developing as many domains as humanly possible. What’s next?
Cost is a big factor for beginners. You can certainly find a cheap domain registrar or look for special deals but ultimately, the biggest cost to the domain game is hosting it. Most hosting fees can usually run you almost 12 times the registration cost annually. But there is a solution.
Let’s say you decided to use GoDaddy.com (I picked GoDaddy as their DNS forwards propogate fairly quickly) and you are very pleased to have registered your internet real estate. But don’t be so quick to plow down more money for hosting the site. There are a few hosting services that offer unlimited domain hosting. This means that you only have to pay up for one domain, but as long as you have disk space left on your user account, you may host as many domains as you want!
For value and features, my experience with DreamHost has been wonderful. DreamHost gives you 20GB storage, which is more than enough for your numerous niche sites! Included is a free domain registration, 1 TB bandwidth, email accounts and more goodies than you’ll ever need. The environment is very friendly to the most popular PHP/MySQL/CGI installations out there. All this for a low $7.95 per month.
So now, you can add more niche sites without incurring any new hosting fees! For newbies who are still debating about stepping into the niche web arena. Here’s more cost-reduction incentive for you. If you register wtih DreamHost, you can use the coupon code TAKEOFF90 to take up to $90 off your first year’s registration. That means your hosting fees for the first year could be less than $10!
Hopefully, you can make use of these cost-savings to further pad your profit. The last piece of the domain name puzzle will be picking the those valuable names. That’s coming up in a future article!
