Looking for server to host client sites...

[Archarin]

So yeah, basically I've been making some really basic sights for people, we're talking "Home, About, Photos, Contact" as pretty much the only buttons on the site. How much would it cost to host, let's say 10 simultaneous sites that are still responsive. There would never be more than 5 people at a time on any given site. (probably less) I'm also looking for a specific company you would recommend. Thanks you very much good sirs for any advice!

X10 is not that great. Look at nfoservers.com I use them for my gaming community and the webspace I have with them is top notch.

If I were you, I'd get a VPS and setup a webserver. You have some pretty decent VPS hosts in the US that are also very cheap. For example Dacentec has Virtual Machines starting at $2.0 USD. If you need a UI as well, then you can setup ISP Config. Anyways with a VPS the possibilities are limitless. Now if you go with this keep in mind you will need to set up everything yourself.

 

On the other hand you can get web hosting like cPanel or Plesk something like reseller hosting or with an ability to park multiple domains. Honestly I think hosts like Hostgator, GoDaddy, Bluehost, iPage or 1&1 are very unreliable which they proved countless times. Also absolutely, do not under any circumstances go with Media Temple (mt).

 

A client of mine hosted several wordpress sites with their managed wordpress hosting. All sites were hacked twice because of a server wide hack.

 

Namecheap worked for me well in the US. For EU I strongly suggest tsoHost, they have their own datacenter in UK and the support crew is very dedicated to their work. If you are on the cheap OVH or Hetzner.

Probably slated as the best in the shared hosting scene check out StableHost. Other options include Veerotech, Crocweb, Bigscoots, and HostWithLove.

WebHostingTalk is a great resource.
