David Fiske Affiliate Marketing & Web Development

Got £351.33 spare? Check behind the sofa, maybe there's some cash there. In fact, you don't need that now. If you can raise that by next year, take advantage of 1&1 Internet's offer of free UK domains. Apparently it's time limited so you may need to be quick.
 
The strategy goes like this.

Research some niche areas. Stu Foster write a good piece on researching niches a while back.

Register 100 .co.uk domains. At the moment, it'll cost you nothing this year and £351.33 inc VAT next year.

Sign up for a reseller account. Host Nine are great ('cos I use them!) with 24/7 live chat support.

For under $20 a month (half priced first month), you get 10GB storage and 100GB bandwidth. They offer various packages up to $50 a month and offer additional bandwidth on top of this. It's a cheap and easy way to get a large portfolio of sites.

It helps to use a spreadsheet for this so here's a couple of them:

Reseller:


Web Host:


The more sites you have, the more sense it makes switching to a reseller account. It'll cost nearly £600 for 100 websites for 2 years compared to a standard webhost which will cost over £3,000!

The purpose of this post is to highlight the fact that if you are looking to set up a large number of websites, take advantage of 1&1 Internet's offer and some reseller hosting from Host Nine (Use coupon code H9 to get your first month half price). You know it makes sense.
