Default Quick bludomain question--hosting elsewhere

I'll likely order more than one bludomain site.
With blu, you have to pay the $100 hosting fee for every site.

I see that godaddy hosting 'delux' and 'unlimited' plans offer "unlimited websites"

Blu does hit you with the $100 'fee' for not hosting with them, but in the case--for example--if I oder three to four $400 sites that don't charge the $100 fee--I'll be saving several hundred by hosting with godaddy.


Is the above correct? I'm not so sure.
Just want to confirm: Blu doesn't allow you to share two or more sites under one "$100 Blu Hosting" plan? Would Godaddy allow it?


Thanks

Do you really have to pay $100 to pay elsewhere? I don't remember paying that, but it was a while ago.

I host with HostGator (nb - affiliate link), I find them far superior to Godaddy. Godaddy's website really bites, it's confusing and they're constantly trying to upsell you things you don't need. I still do my domains there, until I find a less confusing domain registrar with competitive prices. HostGator support is just amazing, and they run blu fine. You might need to add one line in your htaccess config file if you use hostgator for blu, I can find it in mine if anyone needs it. I host about a dozen websites with hostgator for about $10/month, I get about 3 million hits per month across my various sites. Great value!

Be careful going Bludomain

They had all of their equipment stolen only a weeke ago, lots of sites down etc. that they were hosting. I'll see if I can find the link.....

here you go, read this:

I ended up going here

great sites, great set up, great service. I'm in New Zealand and the guy called me.
