money through website hosting

[Mr.Chicken]

hey
i am planing to buy hosting from blue host and their premium plan allows unlimited eveything
does that mean if i pay for 36 months at once
i will not have to pay fro any other website i want in future
or is works for only 1 of my niche and domain?

 

[Psh]

I'd suggest to ask Bluehost, they'll probably give you a more correct answer.

Assuming the "unlimited" you mentioned allows for unlimited domains as well, then yes that's correct; you will be able to have however many websites on that hosting account as you'd like, and you won't have to pay again for 3 years.

okay thanks buddy
you are great!

unlimited domains

they say it has 1 included domain and
unlimited parked and sub domains
does that mean i can make as much websites i want through or i have to buy a new hosting everytime
also what i the difference between sub domains and parked domains?
sorry for lots of questions, i am new to this

 

[Warrenway]

I'm assuming they mean the "1 included domain" is the free domain that most web hosts throw in when you purchase a hosting plan. However, I would confirm this with them.

Are you getting a shared hosting account? If so, anything above the "Basic" plan allows for unlimited websites.

Look for addon domains - that’s what you need. If you can have unlimited addon domains then the answer to your question is less.

BUT: I would say a few things -

1. There is probably a fair use policy so gauge it by price - if it’s couple of $ per month then you’re not gonna be able to run hundreds of sites on it.

2. If you run more than a handful of sites you definitely don’t want them all in a single shared account like this because if one gets hacked they are all likely to get hacked- I’m talking from experience there.

3. Personally I wouldn’t go 3 years up front with any host - if it’s expensive it’s a lot of money to lock in to and you could outgrow it in less than a year. If it’s cheap then it’s probably not as good as it sounds, and you’ll likely get annoyed when it doesn’t live up to your expectations.

Not trying to be negative, just my honest advice.

so what should i do?
go with a 2.5$ per month plan for a year
and also i need this website hosting for a landing page
so i think basic plan would work
am i right?
also in your opinion what should i do everytime i need to make a website and get it running?

You do realise that Bluehost is one of the worst, any hostgator company is terrible. Check the marketplace for much better hosting opportunities

Get a shared host. If you plan on building more sites then make sure it comes with additional addon domains.

Make sure they provide backups but also keep your own backups.

If you get to 5 sites then I’d suggest getting a vps or reseller hosting - with both of those you can fully segregate each site.

And because the above means your requirements will change, just don’t lock yourself in too long.

That's the secret, don't lock in too long. For backups either c/panel or duplicator pro, which backs up regularly to Dropbox etc.

additional addon domains.

hey sir thankyou so much for your advice!
i am really thankful to you!
but also i wanna ask
when i go to bluehost website and i select a plan for shared hosting
even in the premium plans which cost around $5.95 per month
their is unlimited sub domains and parked domains but i cannot see any of the plan mentioning addon domains
according to your opinion do you think i should really go with the bluehost or you have a better recommendation for that?

It says unlimited websites at the top of each plan so I beleive that’s fine.

I should mention though, most ppl don’t have anything good to say about bluehost - they are your typical mass-market, get what you’re given type of host. That said, they’re probably fairly cheap and they will get you started.

If it was me though, I’d be a) registering my domains somewhere else and b) probably going with a monthly plan then you aren’t locked in.

gistering my domains somewhere else and b) probably going with a monthly plan then you aren’t locked in.

if not bluehost then what?

 

[davids355]

if not bluehost then what?

I mean for example, register your domains with internet.bs then your hosting with someone else - then you got some redundancy.

Re hosting, look in the marketplace here, compare prices and features with some of the providers vs bluehost.
