Shared hosting

Dreamhost, mentioned by @anon71687268, seem to be one of the clearest about what they’re offering. I’ll think about their VPS offering.

Essentially yes, RunCloud lets you create or connect to a basic unmanaged (cheap) VPS from a variety of providers (UpCloud, Linode, Digital Ocean, etc), and it installs a complete stack on it (PHP, Apache, MySQL, Nginx, firewall, etc), which it then helps you manage in a wonderfully simple console.
So for $15/month (RunCloud) plus maybe $10/month (your VPS), you have a VPS that will run 50+ low traffic sites and will never be vulnerable to problems with other hosting customers in the way that shared hosting is.
And you still have root ssh access if that’s your thing.

Personally very happy with Krystal’s UK based shared hosting - currently running 40 sites on my Reseller account, performing consistently well over the past 2 years - https://krystal.uk/reseller-hosting

I will be in touch with you soon.

Thanks very much for the offer.

Dreamhost is good. May be give it a try?

It sounds like you’re in a similar situation to what I faced a few years ago. With 12 websites and around 10,000 visits per month on your most popular site, finding a good balance between performance and affordability is key. Shared hosting can definitely handle that load as long as the provider offers solid uptime, sufficient bandwidth, and responsive support.

I used to be on A2 Hosting but switched to GITC for shared hosting, and it turned out to be a great decision. They offer reliable performance and have reasonable pricing, even when hosting multiple websites under one plan. I’ve been impressed with their stability and support services, which came in handy during unexpected traffic spikes.

For a real-life example, I recently ran a promotional campaign on one of my sites, which brought in a surge of visitors. GITC handled it without any downtime or speed issues, proving that their shared hosting plans are both dependable and scalable.

Given your need to host multiple sites under a single plan, I think you’d find them a great option too. If you’re looking for a host that’s reliable yet budget-friendly, I highly recommend checking out GITC Shared Hosting.

Hope that helps, and good luck with your hosting search! :blush:

Which host did you end up choosing? Also If I may ask,What is the budget for these sites? I’m in a similar boat and looking for some guidance onWhat budget should Set apart for a similar operation.

I went with Scala Hosting on a VPS. I renewed a couple months ago for another three years.

New accounts look to be about $23 a month.
