I know every month or so someone asks "What's a good web hosting company to use for my PHP projects?".. I have most of the responses archived and have searched online a bit, but I have a specific "wish" and was hoping someone else had already found a good hosting company that'd let me do what I want.
I want PHP (either 4 or 5, I'm not too picky) and MySQL. The thing I'm having trouble nailing down is one that might let me host multiple domains under a single hosting account and share bandwidth and HD space. I have a couple of domains that aren't really doing anything right now (none of my domains really generate any traffic right now but could in the future). But instead of paying to upgrade the storage of one domain then paying again to upgrade the storage of another one... I'd like them to share harddrive space and bandwidth. Failing that, Doster (the registrar I use) can let me point a domain to a subdirectory on another domain (ie. http://www.altdomain.com actually lives at http://www.maindomain.com/altdomain). The hosting company I'm with right now is great for the fact that I locked my domains in at $20/year before they upped their prices (yeah... twenty per year) but they're kind of mom & pop and I'd like some place a little bigger and more professional even if it means paying more per month. I'm more interested in storage space than bandwidth right now, but that may change later (as the stuff being stored is accessed of course). I don't need many email addresses or databases. Don't need a shell account. Cron jobs/scheduled tasks (of PHP scripts) would be really nice. hah.. I'll stop now. Think you get the idea. The convenient management of multiple domains with a hosting provider is my ultimate goal. Thanks. -TG ___________________________________________________________ Sent by ePrompter, the premier email notification software.
