I’m looking for a host for a few turnover development websites, probably hosting for around 10-15 websites, mostly blogs.

I’m looking for hosting with the following specs:

• cPanel (reseller account with WHM preferred)
• Around 4GB space, and a suggestible amount of Bandwidth
• Decent Uptime, and Server Specs
• A Reasonable Monthly fee, I have few intentions of paying annually anymore as I’ve been burnt too many times with those ‘Fly by Night‘ hosts who take your annual fee and run after a month!
• Unlimited Databases and Email Aliases/Forwarding
• If Shared Hosting, Unlimited Addon Domains or atlease 15 addon domains
• Support not essential - I’ve enough experience with cPanel and WHM to be able to sort myself out unless it’s a server or backend problem

Can you suggest any hosts? I’m looking for personal experiences with such hosts, but bear in mind these websites will be turned over at a fast rate so I don’t want to be paying the earth for the monthly fees. Just simple shared (although reseller preferred) hosting with cPanel a must!

Any suggestions welcome :thumbsup:

Everyone that knows me, knows how forgetful I am - it has been said that I have the memory span of a goldfish. You’re guaranteed that if you say something to me, and I don’t make note of it, I’ll forget it - most of the time non-intentionally!

Anyway, I’ve noticed that I had forgotten about 10 or so domains which I had in my possession, which I had intention of developing of using for parking or resale etc… But as the above mentions, I forgot about them until they all came up for renewal when I got an email from my registrar about their imminent expiration.

So now I’ve got a catch-22 situation - do I pick the few I like/think are worth money to renew, or do I let them expire as the chances of me remembering them again are slim? It is a dilemma, as many of them have good keywords and phrases and could potentially help to raise funds when needed.

I think it’s time to devise a list, and maybe try to find some type of online itinerary service to help me keep track of stuff, and I suppose to aid in planning ahead and to help achieve online targets. :dumb:

www.impulseblogger.com passed onto its new owners today, I’m sorry to see it go, but with the sale comes my chance to redeem myself. I’ve registered a domain, that should be of interest for fellow bloggers - www.bloggingbucks.biz has been registered to serve as a resource for bloggers to visit to get advice on services available to them to earn money through their blogs. PPC, Inline post advertisements, Sponsored posting services, etc…

It will be fairly low maintainence - unlike Impulse Blogger which would have been a very high maintainence blog in my opinion, and at the time I hadn’t enough time to spend on this place let along another blog! Bloggers will know that it takes a great deal of effort to write for their blogs, you have to think up articles and posts to write, in some cases enticing titles, and keep up-to-date with advancements in the field in which you’re writing about. And on top of that you’ve bills and SPAM to keep on top of!

I’ve a few more ideas floating about up there - but I’m going to focus on getting present websites online and generating revenue and traffic before I commence registering more domains!

www.webmasterdiscounts.biz - discountinued, as courtesy towards a friend who runs the .com extension.

I’m back after having a few days rest from blogging and the internet. Mainly as I’ve been focused on a few other projects, and other bits and pieces.

I’ve been busy running around since Saturday, we got ourselves another bus, an Ex-London Transport Leyland Titan that used to work around the Coolock, Kinsealy, Swords area. Ended up being roped into helping out tiling a floor (with big f**k off slate tiles!), and later that evening repaneling a bus…I wasn’t much of a help as I was fucked and wanted to go home…as you do!

Sunday I spent mainly coding and editing photos, and making headers and various other jobs I’ve been putting off for ages! On Sunday, I made the decision to free up my portfolio, by selling most of my projects/websites. A drastic move, and my online income will be severely reduced, but I believe that it would be for the best.

Considering, I will have more time to focus on websites I’m keeping online - futher their development, earning potential and rankings, etc… Monthly expenditure will be reduced, I will recoupe the costs of setting them up (and possibily gain a small profit), I’ll have more time to focus on things other than online activities, such as starting a career, spending more time acquiring and restoring vehicles for preservation, futher my other skills like photography, programming, etc… So selling most of my websites will benefit me for the better.

It also gives me the opportunity to develop new projects futher along the line. I made the mistake many people make, by jumping into too many projects too quick and not having the time to spend developing them properly. Some of my latest projects like Blogger Hub and Impulse Blogger
have been abused and abandoned. They offer great potential, but I simply haven’t the time to spend on them - so these will be my priority to get sold, as they’ve the most potential and could turn a profit
The above Blogger Hub and Impulse Blogger will be sold alongside Irish Humour Blog, Joozo.net, LooseHosting, PictureStorer.com, and Whatsmypagerank.net & Whatsmypagerank.org. They’re a mixture of domains, developed sites, blogs and forums, and opened but pretty much undeveloped websites.

Any person who wishes to make a reasonable offer before they are listed for public sale shortly should contact me ASAP. Bear in mind I want quick sales, so sensible offers please!

I haven’t been trading domains for a few weeks - mainly through being extremely busy with managing sites and planning out material for the domains I’ve already got in my posession!

Although, I came across an eBay auction last night and couldn’t turn the offer down. Basically, the domains:

WHATSMYPAGERANK.NET

WHATSMYPAGERANK.ORG

Came up for sale, at a steal! I won them both for $7.05, inc. transfer - not bad! They’re prime candidates for a profit, either through development, parking, or re-sale. Well what sort of mini-entrepreneur would I be if I didn’t see a profit in everything I buy!

While on the subject of websites. I’m opening Blogger Hub shortly - I’d say gimme another week! I’ve also to completely design, code and test the websites for the Motor Vehicle Preservation Society of Ireland and Rivercourt Coaches - which as client websites are pretty high on my priority list

So what am I on about, you may ask? Well HostBidder has been around for quite a while on the amature webmaster scene - aiding many budding webmasters, including myself! Another good think for the majority of readers to this site, is that it’s run by an Irish guy, Fergal Crawley.

Bascially, HostBidder’s main focus would be on supplying free top level domains (TLD’s), as well as Money via Paypal, to its members, through points which you accumilate through posting on the forums and participating in ‘Points Exchanges’ - selling your services in exchange for points - View more here.

I discovered HostBidder back in March 2006, but never registered until the following May. When I joined, I knew something about webdesign and web authoring - Blogging, Forums, and Earning Money Online were completely new to me!

It is through HostBidder, and it’s domain registration service HBDomains which madringo.com has been on since June 2006. Surprisingly, earning points to exchange for your domain is quite easy:

• You can earn upto 40 points per day (First 4 posts count as point earning posts);
• Once you’ve accumilated 900 points, you can exchange your points for a domain of your choice from HBDomains;
• You post your request, and within a day or so, Fergal, will authorise your request and your domain is yours;
• The only requirement, is a simple linkback on your website, and posting your thanks in the testimonials page.
• Once your year registration has run up, simply post a renewal request (in good time).

For a while, HostBidder became somewhat derilict! Simply, people were getting their domains and leaving, only coming back when there’s a problem, or their domain(s) require renewal!

But, as part of the renewal scheme ongoing on HostBidder, you can win $250, for making a blog post about your ‘HostBidder experience’, and what they offer. Or alternatively, you can simply do a humble backlink to HostBidder! View more here.

I’ve taken the post option, as I’d like to see HostBidder continue, and prosper for many years to follow!

(BTW, you can find me HERE on HostBidder!)

Recently, I’ve been hoarding domains, through various sudden ideas, or it’s an opportunity not to be missed out on - although the 2nd was going cheap on eBay

I don’t know for what reason I was possesed to buy these domains, I could have had an idea, bought the domain, and then forget the idea…that’s more than likely the case! Some may be developed, some sold and some will lanquish in disuse!

I have a huge list of potential purchases, that I’m sure would bankrupt me if I were to register them all! Maybe, I’ll list some of the ones I don’t intend on registering so some of you could make use of them!

My latest acquisitions have included:

• LooseHosting.com - Intended to be a hosting service… (Name.com)
• PictureStorer.com - Bought cheap on eBay, possibly a image upload service (GoDaddy)
• Joozo.net - Some brandable name I came up with… (HostMySite)
• BloggerHub.net - Intended Bloggers Community/Forum (HostMySite)
• ImpulseBlogger.com - Already a semi-developed blog (Name.com)

At the moment, I own 34 domains…although I’m going to reduce that to a managable scale of websites that are 1) Active and operational; 2) Worth some money/provide some online income; 3) Too good to let go!

It’s not a feasible prospect keeping all of them active! Say to register/renew a domain costs €10 - 34x€10= €340 per year for the domains alone! Many of my hoarding has come acress when with special offers providing cheap domain registration! At one stage I was getting .info domains for 75 cent! My latests ones only cost $4.00 through HostMySite with $2 for Whois secrecy!
