Thread: How can I find the cheapest domain?

I guess this means that, provided you have enough of these sites to make the hosting fees relatively negligible*, each site needs to earn just $0.003 a day in order to break even. That's a three cent click every ten days! Should be doable...

*You actually need loads of these cheap sites to dwarf typical hosting costs.

You can get hosting by O2ProxyHost for less than $10,- per month (120$ per year). And you can host around 100 proxies on that package, that's about $107 + $120 in one year -- a total of $227 costs, that makes $0,62 per day which should be easily made when you have 100 proxies running

You can get hosting at HostGator for $7.95/month for unlimited websites, so to break even with 100 .info websites, you'd need to make a total of

(100*$1.07 + 12*$7.95)/365.25 = $0.55

per day (so just over half a cent per day per website on average).

True, but Hostgator doesn't allow proxies on their servers, so that's why people should use O2ProxyHost.Com instead

From where the number .25? Might be a stupid question, but I can't seem to find a reason

There are 365.25 days in a year... but since we can't do a .25 day, we wait every 4 years and use it then. (Leap year)

Ah, OK; I didn't realise that HostGator don't allow proxies. I thought that might be the case, because I know that you know about HostGator, and I wondered why you were recommending another host.

I regularly buying domaina at Domain Name | Internet Domain Registration | Register Domain Names , only $6.90 for .com domains.
