UK Hosting

I guess it depends what you want and how you want to achieve it. I was just giving an option instead of having multiple hosted domains.

I'm not saying don't have commercial webspace for a domain, obviously you should if you are running a company as it promotes a professional image, and allows email and related services on that domain.

But many control panels allow to you cloak the domain forwarding so the end user wouldn't know, and if you just need multiple domains to route to one main one, for similar product names or trademarks it is cost effective, and this is moneysavingexpert And it'll look professional if it routes to your main trading site / commercial space, obviously not a scratchy bit of home-user space with an ISP!

I have a commercial webspace and my main company domain hosted directly on this, but I route about 30 others for products and related domains directly to this one, including catch alls for .com, .net and other versions of the domain name. I certainly wouldn't have another 30 odd hosting plans for traffic I need to catch for projects, and more often than not for e-mail purposes too, it would be a total waste of money.

I agree with that but the OP specifically asked for a multiple domain package to host different sites

Important to have options; he may, or may not have considered the options...

Any particular reason you want a UK host? Of course it may be personal preference, but they aren't normally the cheapest.

robt I understand why you want a UK host, whilst UK host are probarbly not the cheapest around they certainly have their benefits. It has been talked about on the internet that using U.S. servers for example could affect your listings in search engines and on the SEO side of things if you are based in the UK. I've got one hosting account which uses U.S. servers at the moment (non-commercial) and I can say that sometimes my pages can take forever to load.

I would recommend Wintercorn. I have 2 seperate hosting accounts with them and the Customer Service (when I've needed it, only about once in about 2 years) I've needed has been second to none. I am very sure you will have no problems with using multiple domains with them, but do check.

i remember someone mentioning one.com with their hosting and domain names for £9 for a year... bear in mind that it will probably rocket when the renewal comes up, but hey for a year, i would take it... if i ever had the need for a website

failing that, http://ukfast.net are a good UK based provider, i think £17 for a domain name and shared hosting... be careful though, if you want any work or help, they charge you extra.
