I can but dream of a dedicated server, there are very few blogs that run them… on another note, you can install multiple wordpress instances onto a single database by changing the table prefix for each install…

Kevin – No problem. It was a mistake that I made, which is why I warn other people about it. It is better for people to learn from mistakes and warn other people about it than to let a problem continue. If enough people stop hosting with them for this reason may-be bluehost will change their policy about registering domains in their name.

Katje – thanks for letting me know about bluehost. I had heard good things about them but i will not be promoting them here in any shape or form now that i know they do that. I despise companies that do this kind of thing.

Getting off blogger without losing traffic is really hard. My plan to get off it completely is going to take at least 3 months. Kumiko

Wow, I knew not to get hosting and the domain name from the same place, just didn’t know this was the reason! I’m glad that even with my limited knowledge, I made sure to get my domain name from a different place.

Yup, I am not into the companies holding the name unless it is a documented agreement. If you have issues with them or they get into trouble somehow they own that asset which may have been developed into a brand. That brand is yours yet it’s not.

Be careful

One thing I’d like to add is that for BlueHost, new bloggers (and old) should be warned not to registar their domain through them. One of the selling points of BlueHost is that they include a “free” domain with the cost of buying hosting with them. What they do not tell you is that domain is registared in their name, locking you into continueing to host with them even if you do not like them. Also if you don’t renew your hosting package with them they will keep your domain for 6 months and try to resell it to someone else. In the end this can work out really badly for bloggers since our whole business revolves around our domain. Don’t give your host this power over you. Go through a seprate service to registar your domain.

I always wondered if Reseller Hosting was the same as Shared hosting or if it got it’s own server. It makes me wonder why more people don’t buy Reseller Hosting when basic shared hosting plans aren’t enough any more – I’ve seen reseller plans costing the same as more advanced shared hosting plans – except that the reseller plans have way more features.

A good basic overview – although I don’t think the number of MySQL databases should be a big issue (particularly for a blog).

As long as you give each software script that requires a database its own prefix, you can have it run off the same database.

Of course, you still need to ensure your hosting can cope with the increased number of connections.
