I have 10-15 domains I want to host. Anybody have a preferred company who could inexpensively host these sites? I would prefer for the host to offer WordPress and cPanel built in.

"Recommended by WordPress since 2005": https://www.bluehost.com/wordpress2

however they don't quite use cPanel, they use a different admin tool

if its nothing too complex most registrars also offer dns hosting and its usually safe to leave it there. If you want maximum reliability for the cheapest price nothing is gonna beat amazon route 53

I use HostGator's shared hosting for $15/mo.

Just understand that all these big hosting providers will restrict your account if your WP sites take too much bandwidth.

I'm dealing with this now... I have about 20 WP sites on one of my HG accounts and those bastards will restrict my account... in other words throttle your sites, so that they take forever to load and time out.

Support is shitty w/ all the big hosting providers. They won't pinpoint what site or plugin is the culprit.

I finally said fuck it and am currently moving my WP sites to Pressable, which is fully managed WP hosting... it ain't cheap. About $90/mo for 20 WP sites.

I didn't read and thought you just meant dns hosting, not web hosting. durrr

I host with nosupportlinuxhosting.com

$1/month per site. Has cPanel built in...and can easily set up wordpress, etc. through cPanel. I even think there's a built-in wordpress installer.

Only thing is, you need to know what the fuck you're doing. There's NO support. Hence the name.

Welp. I just signed up for nosupportlinuxhosting.com. For some reason they aren't recognizing the new gTLDs. I'm trying to set up a .photography domain name and they aren't recognizing it as valid.

Sorry man. I didnt even think of that. All of my domains are .com

They may actually respond to your inquiry of that nature. Full disclosure, i've never tried to contact them, so I dunno how responsive they are to most things.

Sent them an e-mail last night. Hopefully they will respond...lol

I'm surprised these new gTLDs have caught on so well: https://encrypted.google.com/search?q=site%3Aphotography&hl=en&pws=0&safe=off&num=100&complete=0

i use dreamhost

they been having a lot of problems and i have my sites go down for DAYS at a time.

luckly these are not business or client related sites.

NoSupport responded with, wait for it, SUPPORT! They said their script wasn't set up to recognize the gTLDs. They had to make some adjustments to allow me to be add my domain for hosting. Anyways, thanks for the suggestions.

^^ Wow, you are right, there are quite a few .photography domains. I think its going to take a couple years for the gTLDs to really catch on. It will be interesting to see how it disrupts the domaining industry.
