Webhost wanted
To echo Alex:
We’ve been delighted with our current hosts, Ace of Space, but as our site and domain empire expands, it’s beginning to look like it would be economical for us to get a hosting package that allows unlimited domains.
A friend recommends IV Hosting, which offers 3GB of space and unlimited domains for only US $99/year. A great deal, but not the most widely-known company, so we’re exploring the various possibilities. After all, switching web hosts isn’t like buying a house or getting married; it’s a serious, long-term commitment that can potentially enhance or destroy your connections to the outside world.
So I’d be delighted to hear from anyone with a reseller host to recommend. We’re looking for hosting of unlimited domains, ideally also IMAP support, and somewhere or other I swear I saw somebody offer free domain registrations into the deal. We might also consider Virtual Private Server options but those sound a bit high-maintenance, so I think we’ll be happier with a reseller package.
I’m going to stress how much we’ve appreciated the service at Ace of Space. Unless you’re planning on unleashing the kind of online presence that requires a huge boardroom stainless steel chairs, a giant illuminated map of the world and a guy at the head of the table stroking a white persian cat — which is more or less what we have in mind — they’re a terrific solution.

Thanks for the suggestion. You aren’t alone in recommending Dreamhost; I’ve heard good things about them from a number of sources. My one hesitation is that they’re priced substantially higher than some of the others, and don’t offer the limitless domains they do.

Rob Cottingham » Who’s the host with the most? says:
[...] Previously on this blog, I asked for some suggestions for a new web host for Alex’s and my growing empire of sites. (Few people know that Google is one of ours, for example. Man, the bandwidth charges last month were murder.) Topping our wish list: the ability to host a bucket of domains on one account. [...]
