My question has to do with affiliate internet marketing. For years I’ve used one shared web hosting account and I create multiple add-on domains on it for all my various sites. I know it’s not a good idea to have all of your domains on one server because search engines can see they all come from the same IP address if you link the sites and if you’re server goes down, all of your sites are down. No site access = no money coming in.

I see that several of the top power affiliates get themselves a reseller hosting account so they can create individual websites rather than add-on domains, but they’re still all on the same IP address and if the server goes down, all the sites will be down.

Reseller hosting is considerably more expensive than shared hosting and I know you can offset the cost by selling accounts and domain names from it, but let’s say you don’t sell to other people.

So what’s the advantage of using reseller hosting instead of shared hosting for affiliate marketing?

Also, yesterday I was looking at some reseller hosting. I need to do some more research, but tell me if something like this is in the ballpark or too expensive. These are just the high level features, but bascially, anything you can do on a shared hosting account, you can do on this so I certainly wouldn’t be losing anything.

.95/mo
cPanel
25 GB diskspace
250 GB data transfer (both of those are far more than I currently use for my 40ish domains)
free eNom to sell domain names

So, why would I want to use a reseller account instead of shared hosting?

WARNING: I don’t mind hearing about your reseller promotion, but please answer my main question above – what’s the advantage? I’ve been doing this Answers thing long enough to know that if you turn this into a sales pitch, vindictive Yahoo Answers members and competitors will turn you in for commercial solicitation and you’ll get your account banned, so promote with caution because people suck. So I will say this loud and clear to the Yahoo Answers team, please don’t ban anyone. This community is about getting answers and that’s what I’m looking for.
UPADTE: Thanks, Joe. You made a couple of points that escaped me. You’re right about moving domains, so much easier when not dealing with addons. Also, a reseller account would be more stable than shared. ResellerZoom was the one I was looking at. HostGator is more cost effective on a per GB basis, but it’s also overkill for what I need at this time.

I’m a senior in high school and would like to do something more important this year before I leave for college. I am looking for a program with the length of at least two weeks to a month. (I volunteer at a hospital and with my school on a weekly basis so I’m looking for an experience outside of my community) I live in the U.S. and am open to a program here in the states(People have mentioned Indian Reservations, or Hurricane Relief but didn’t have a specific org.) or abroad (I’d most like to leave the U.S. but a lot of people have said it’s more of a feel good experience for the volunteer than actually helpful, your opinion?). Cost is a concern, so the most cost-efficient would be great, but sense I’m looking at this for a couple months down the road I have plenty of time to save up and get some paychecks. I am most interested in working with kids, but my second choice would be the environment. So if you know of any legitimate organizations and have any specific ideas (please no volunteer search engines like volunteermatch.org) I’d be really thankful! The site I’m currently most interested in is volunteer.org.nz, if you’re familiar with it, would you recommend it?
Thank you to anyone who took the time to read all that and respond! I just really would like to do something important and helpful to others and frankly, there are a million websites that show up when I google and it’s impossible to decode which ones to look at and aren’t scams!

I think I finally figured out what it takes to get more traffic-real traffic!!
You need a page on your site dedicated to your fellow website owners. It’s that simple.
People who do this make a lot on money. It’s an awesome way to get more traffic.

Google and Yahoo notice if you are participating in friendly conduct. This includes sharing links. Getting kicked off or shut down isn’t as hard as you think. Just take a look at some forum/blog notes about people who have been shut down for no apparent reason. If these huge search engines have to make room on their system, you are a sitting duck if you aren’t playing NICE. Think about it-if they drop you because all you are is a single site with nothing more than ads and something to sell, they’ve lost nothing by closing you down-someone else will replace you in a heartbeat. BUT, if you have other links and referrals on your site, dropping you will cause a domino effect which could cost them a lot of money. So, they’ll pass.

That being said, would you like to exchange links?
I have a special page on my website just for you! It doesn’t matter if your website isn’t related. People who are looking have different interests. You may be what they need next.

I’ll write a nice blurb and add your site address. (In exchange for the same, of course) It’s FREE Advertising, and who couldn’t use a little of that? Please let me know if you would like to be listed. My Site: www.a-secret-to-share.com If you visit, you’ll see what I’m talking about.

Email me: lynnmiller4158@hotmail.com and let me know. When you respond, please include your URL so I can take a look at your site. I’ll email you when I’ve posted your info on my site and give you a couple of days to return the favor. Fair? Good. Now let’s get this party started and make some real money!

we have a small landscaping company and want to put signs
on our truck and direct people to our website. we have a web
site and it hasnt generated a single sale to date—the guy that
put it together for us wants 800 dollars again this year to service us. all it is is a single page with a picture of a display
we had at a trade show with a list of the things we do and
doesnt even have our phone number on it,,also if someone
were to try and contact us there is no way for us to capture
their contact information which i understand is one of the
major goals of a website and that usually happens when
you offer them a free booklet or newsletter,.

what should we do and how much should it cost?

search engines come next.
