I’ve been using Rack0 hosting for few of my niche websites on a popular reseller package for some time.  Last week their servers were hacked and everything got wiped out including all of my sites and databases.  I couldn’t retrieve anything.  They didn’t even have  a backup.  I really liked Rack0 because of their fast customer service, but I’ve decided to take my business else where. SingleHop hosting has been great for my business for many many years. They are getting another account from me this week. :) I left SingleHop, although they’ve been great without any problem, because my server was getting old. I now have all my sites hosted at ServInt just because I got a better deal there.

Because my sites were built with WordPress, I didn’t have backups of the databases on my PC.  It was a great reminder to regularly backup your WordPress databases for events like this.

In today’s post, I’d like to introduce to you Dynadot, a domain registration company that offers $1 hosting. I’ve been using Dynadot for many many years for all of my domain registrations. Now I get bulk domain pricing because I spend so much money there.

But that’s not the point of this post. I want to tell you little bit about their $1 hosting plan. You can host only 1 domain with this hosting plan and it doesn’t come with any MySQL databases. This hosting plan is not for you if you are thinking about hosting a blog or other scripts.

Dynadot’s $1 hosting plan is perfect if you are thinking about hosting a traditional html niche sites. For $11.99 per year, I can host a mini-niche site that runs on a separate IP address. Rather then getting a reseller account to host 25 websites on a single IP address, I’d get a $1 hosting for each domain to get a different IP address.

I’m not recommending you that you should use Dynadot’s $1 hosting plan for all of your niche sites since you might end up with same IP addresses, but add Dynadot’s hosting plan to your bookmarks of cheap web hosting companies for your mini niche sites. I highly recommend Dynadot for your basic web hosting and all of your domain registrations.
