Cheap Web Hosting To Host Multiple Blogs And Websites

If you are looking for a web hosting package that is cheap and enables you to host multiple domain names, this post serves as a good starting point. I looked through the top 10 most popular hosting companies list on Web Hosting Stuff (which strangely contains 25 companies instead of 10) and found four web hosting companies that you can consider.

Below is the list of the web hosting companies in no specific order.

1) Servers And Domains

  • 1 GB disk space
  • 20 GB bandwidth
  • Host 10 domains
  • Unlimited MySQL databases
  • $30.00 / year
  • Note: $5.95 / month package available where disk space, bandwidth and add-on domains are doubled.

2) ProService Hosting

  • 5 GB disk space
  • 50 GB bandwidth
  • Host unlimited domains
  • Database amount not available
  • $4.95 / month
  • Note: 25% discount on all hosting packages. Coupon code: 2007

3) iValueHost

  • 2 GB disk space
  • 40 GB bandwidth
  • Host 50 domains
  • 5 MySQL databases
  • $4.95 / month
  • Note: Hosting fees decreases when you pay for a few months (eg. $3.95 / month if paid for 12 months)
  • Note 2: The restricted amount of MySQL database available to you means that you will need to setup each blog’s table with a different prefix. Therefore, one database holds a few blogs data

4) Integra-Net

  • 1 GB disk space
  • 20 GB bandwidth
  • Host unlimited domains
  • Unlimited MySQL databases
  • $32.95 / year
  • Note: $4.95 / month package available where disk space upgrade to 2 GB and bandwidth to 30 GB

Please check the appropriate websites to confirm any detail mentioned above. These are really cheap web hosting packages that you can choose from where you can host multiple domains.

Besides the price and features of a web hosting package, the uptime, speed and reliability of the server and connection is important too. These are factors that I will have no knowledge of since I have not tried any of these companies before. Therefore, do your research and select the one that you feel good about.

Cartoonize Your Photo Using BeFunky

BeFunky is a web tool that allows you to cartoonize the photo that you upload. It is currently in private beta therefore you will need to get an invitation first. Just enter your email address and follow the instructions in the email that you will receive. It took me one or two days to get my invite but it was worth it. BeFunky is a nice tool that you may want to play around with.

Why I want to eat at Friday’s

Nuffnang is organizing another blog competition thanks to sponsor TGI Friday’s. So, why I want to eat at Friday’s, you asked?

Only one reason to dine at Friday’s

I am looking for a nice place with great food to bring my girlfriend to dine at. I have only been to Friday’s once. I bought my brother and girlfriend dinner that day. The food was okay since I played it safe by ordering a simple chicken dish. The service provided by the waiters and waitresses was good.

If I am Being among the 50 Nuffnangers selected for the free dinner, I plan to order something exotic to satisfy my taste buds. Most importantly, I plan to have a great time over at Friday’s because I am sure that Friday’s is not just an ordinary restaurant.

What will I do with the RM1,000 cash grand prize

I could use the cash to upgrade my camera with a new lens or other accessories. Instead, I will buy 10 (or more) of my friends dinner over at Friday’s. That is if they are able to serve us great food and a perfect atmosphere for me and my friends to enjoy.

Conclusion

Bottom line is that I am looking for a great place to bring my date to enjoy a great meal with excellent service and atmosphere. If TGI Friday’s cannot provide me with what I want, please do not invite me over for dinner.

Thank you very much.

How To Be A Douche Bag Commentator

There is no doubt that loading up dofollow plugins may increase readership, or at least commentators. However, the disadvantage of it is that you may just get one or two guys who are just commenting for the sake of having a back link to their website or blog. For these people, I would like to label them as douche bag commentators.

Before I proceed, I would like to make it clear that I am not implicating that everyone who comments in a dofollow blog are guilty of this “sin”. I am talking about those who commented even though they have not fully read or understood your post. Here is an example.

Commenting for the sake of a back link

I just loaded up the dofollow plugin in my new blog where I share my favorite music videos. The nofollow tag will be removed when someone leaves at least three comments in that blog. It is still a very new blog with very few viewers.

I got three comments from the same guy (”Mr T”) within four minutes. Mr T may argue that he is a speed reader with excellent typing skills, thus the speed in commenting. However, considering that each of the posts that Mr T commented in has an average of 100-200 words and at least one video between 3 to 5 minutes, I will be truly amazed if his commenting was sincere.

I have removed all of his comments. Do you have the same experience as I did? Mind to share it?

How To Check Other Domain Name On Same Server

MyIPneighbors reverse IP domain check

If you are using a shared web hosting package, have you wondered what other domain names are hosted under the same server as you are?

Previously, I was using the reverse IP function provided by domaintools to check the list of domain names hosted under the same server. This function does not come for free. You will need to subscribe to their service and pay a monthly fee in order to use it. For non-subscribers, they will display the first three domain names for free. I only tried out their 30 day free trial and cancelled my subscription after that.

I was reading iCalvyn’s blog and he was blogging about a website called myIPneighbors. MyIPneighbors uses the same reverse IP lookup method to export the list of all domain names hosted under a server. The advantage of this service compared to the one by domaintools is that myIPneighbors is completely free. In fact, it provides extra functionality by displaying the website or blog within the same page.

Go ahead and try out myIPneighbors. You may just find a new website or blog that is interesting. Who knows, you may even make a friend or two.
