Hosting for 200 websites

[invincible]

I need an advice:

I have about 400 domain names, the half of them I would like to develop as mini websites. Domains are registered at www.Domain.com, but as they told me they have no such kind Hosting service.

- What should I do?
- What kind if hosting should I buy to create 200 mini websites?
- Where to buy?

Please let me know your advices.

Thank everyone in advance.

HI
I faced the similar issue.
Wanted to host 750 domains for my mini websites .
My Domains were with resellerclub /directi and few Hosting accounts with GoDaddy
I asked godaddy but they did not / were not able to add domains to a single account.
So, they had a panel where i had to add each domain 1 by 1 .... REAL PAIN! VERY SLOW AND TEDIOUS (4-5 days)!

I added 350 domains and it is working fine as of now and cannot imagine chanign right now after putting so much effort.. and my account manager gave me a deal to take opne more account to add and he will get it addded from their end! GOSH!

So, when u talking about lots of domain pointers to a single domain,,,, expect that! SAD, BAD :(

Take a look at Lunarpage (link in my sig. below). They have Hosting plans that start at $4.95 per month that have unlimited add-on domains, unlimited bandwidth, CPanel, and lots of Fantastico free software installs, lke Wordpress, etc. Setting up domains is simple. Just go to the Lunarpages CPanel and click on "Add-on Domans" and add each one to your account. Then, point your domain's DNS at the Lunapages servers from your registrar. Each domain gets its own directory in you main public_html directory and you can either ftp sites to each directory or use the CPanel File Manager to add files.

Lunarpages also offers a ton of free software when you sign up.

They also has fantastic support. The few times I've called, you get a real live person on the phone and they're very helpful.

I have 100+ domains hosted as Add-ons on my Lunarpages account. Not all developed yet, but I'm getting there slowly. I highly recommend them,

You can host your domains en-masse with one common template ("Page").

And it is 100% free

Thumb Rule should be:
Hosting Service Provider add all the domains to the Panel
The minisite template should be using some CMS / common template and should be automated else will be too difficult managing different directories and settings for each
You should have a business plan to earn, effort has to be rewarded well!

ecomindia: yes, user can add the domains by themselves, and yes you can specify a common template for all domains. Each domain can be customized also.

Ok. If I buy reseller Hosting at HostGator, would I be able to make 200 minisites using sitebuilder?

another good option is to use GoDaddy. They have an unlimited plan for $15 per month. you get unlimited disk space, bandwidth, web sites, and databases. i install hundreds of wordpress sites, each running on their own database, so this plan works out perfectly.

i haven't used hostgator, but i've heard good things. i have also used opensourcehost.com and found them to be good.

Invincible. If you haven't gotten a reseller Hosting yet I can hook you up. Pm me if you are interested.

You may indeed want to take a look at www.seocreation.com which is a site we are currently promoting for a client.

it deals with this common issue of what to do with dozens of domain names ina cost effective way.

Other than that, I'd recommend a reseller account at either surpasshosting or hostgator and adding a CSS based content page.

Hostgator!

links in your thread are not working.

With that many domains, I would suggest a VPS with direct admin/cpanel. If you do not know how to manage a server then you can go with a Reseller Plan.
