The web hosting company that promotes unmetered hosting means unlimited domain hosting where you are able to host unlimited number of domain using one web hosting package. This will share the amount of bandwidth and disk space, using main web hosting plan.

For example, I host a domain calls masterdomain.com, with 50GB of disk space and 100MB 0f bandwidth. I keep working on my domain, starts earning some money from the domain by marketing or advertising. I am thinking to host another domain with different niches, on the other hand, I do not plan to invest into another web hosting, as I am currently not fully utilizing my web hosting package yet. I am only using 20-40% of my disk space and bandwidth

If my web hosting package supports unmetered hosting or unlimited domain hosting, I can register another domain and host it with my main domain. Let’s say I registered a new domain called secondarydomain.com. Now I will host masterdomain.com and secondarydomain.com with my current web hosting package. It’s really a big saver if your web traffic is not high and you are testing out a few other domains.

Apparently, there are few disadvantage of hosting multiple domains within one web hosting package. If one of your sites exceeded the bandwidth, it will affect all your other domains within that package. However, you shall be able to determine or estimate your traffic and website popularity. If you really request a high bandwidth or uninterrupted domain hosting, then you shall look for virtual domain hosting or dedicated domain hosting.

If you are just started off, trying to make money online or just for general blogging purposes, and when budget is a main concern, a web hosting package with unlimited domain hosting is what you shall be looking for better savings.

Dedicated Server = Dedicated IP Address = SSL

You don’t need to have a Dedicated Server to have a Dedicated IP addressee, But you do need to have a Dedicated IP addressee to use an SSL Certificate.

Almost all the merchant accounts require this, Google Checkout is one of them that require you to have an SSL Certificate, Without it you can’t use Google Checkout.

Depending on your hosting plan it can be rather pricey on a regular shared hosting plan to add a Dedicated IP and a SSL Certificate. Depending on your type of Business, This will tell what type of SSL Certificate you will require. An Individual can usually get away with a Standard Class 1 Certificate.

But if you are a business seeking to satisfy your savvy customers, Then you will need a more secure Class 2 SSL Certificate. If you shop really smart, You can usually get a great deal on a Class 2 for your Business. Sometimes you will see these Class 2′s run in the thousands sometimes. Don’t panic, You can find them for as low as $27.00 a year. There all SSL Certificates with the same 128/256 Bit Encryption.

No need to spend a crazy amount of money to get the protection that you and your customers will need for protection. Normally you will hear what is referred to as a Turbo SSL, This is the same as the Class 2 from the expensive places. They almost always have insurance on them as well. This insurance can range from $2,000 up to $250,000. For the smaller Business you will only need the smaller of these, Unless your doing big time business.

With the cost of the Dedicated IP setup and SSL Certificate it should only run you between $80.00 to $100.00 depending on what you choose.

Shop smart and watch your pocketbook, Unless your made of money. As a small business myself I have to watch every penny.

If you are looking for cheap dedicated servers, you should be careful while choosing the right specification and package. Things to consider are operating system, data backup and monitoring service, hardware options, space, bandwidth and technical support. Ask the hosting providers to give you a few websites for references, read hosting reviews before you sign up and be sure that the price is affordable. We know that the dedicated servers on this site are the one that will give you the most reliability and flexibility for your money.
