Save Money by Consolidating Your Hosting

If you have multiple shared accounts for a bunch of websites, you can save money by consolidating your hosting onto one Hostgator reseller account. Doing this would make managing your collection of sites a whole load easier too!

One reason you'd have several small shared hosting packages dotted all over the place is if you were caught up in the old SEO method of hosting a small personal network of sites on different IP addresses. That might still be a reasonable assumption to make, but these days of so many dead SEO practices that once proliferated before 2012, is it even viable any more?

Is Multiple IP Hosting Dead?

Whoa, what are you saying here? Everyone knows that if you want to host a small network of sites that provide link authority to a "money site" with links that you control, you have to host them in different places, right?

Well, that used to be true. Maybe it still is to a certain extent, but think about how much SEO has changed over the past 18 months. Your chief reason for doing this was to try and fool Google into thinking you didn't own the sites that were linking to your money making site, right?

But Google has gotten very good at sniffing out blog networks. So good that even if you think you've done everything possible to throw them off the scent, you'd be wrong.

One thing I figured out a long time ago is that I might be pretty smart, but the collective brains that run Google are a whole load smarter!

That means the chances are, unless you have really gone to extreme lengths to cover your tracks, there will be a footprint that can be tracked and traced back to you. In any case, the value of links is not quite as high as it once was and you can rank sites surprisingly well without them.

So is there any point to trying to cloak a network of sites by hosting them all over the place anymore? I am tending to think not.

Out on a Limb

I know the SEO guru crowd will disagree with me on this, and to be honest I couldn't care less what they say. I have little faith in anyone's opinion on what works best these days.

Remember, unless a person actually works on Google's algorithm and truly knows how it works, they are not qualified to tell me or you how to optimize a site (on or off-site) to get the best serps rankings.

So a lot of blustering and hot air might convince a lot of you out there that these so-called experts know what is right, but it doesn't convince me of anything. So there, I'm out on a limb in my reasoning and I kinda like it!

So Save Some Money on Hosting Already!

So all that money you're probably spending on a bunch of shared hosts may be money wasted. The sensible approach would be to try and save money on hosting these days where possible.

That money you're spending on shared accounts could be put to better use by sucking it in and splashing out on a reseller hosting plan, like the popular Aluminum plan from Hostgator.

It will cost you less than $25 a month to run it if you want to pay monthly and that can handle a lot of sites. I spoke about the benefits of reseller hosting in the previous post you can read by following that link.

Put simply, if you're spending $5 a month on 6 or more shared accounts, you can save money by consolidating them into one reseller. Better still, if you want to stump up the cash for a two year billing cycle, you can save 25% off the total cost of hosting by using the Hostgator coupon printed above in the right hand column on this page.

Here it is again if you missed it: NOWSAVE25PC

You can argue the pros and cons of doing this until the cows come home. But if you are finding money a little tight these days because maybe your sites aren't producing the income they once did, you might want to consider this option for saving some cash.

Think about it at least and you might just see the common sense in what I'm saying here.

Why the Latest Hostgator Coupon is the Best Choice for November 2013

We're already in November 2013 and people starting a new hosting package with Hostgator can save 25% with coupon NOWSAVE25PC. But why is it the best choice of coupon to save money with?

The truth is that when you try to use a discount coupon code during the sign up process for the best in hosting with fast server load times and top quality service, you really want it to be valid and to work first time. After all, your time is valuable and you don't want to waste any of it trying to input am old code that is not valid or just plain won't work!

This coupon: NOWSAVE25PC is valid, tested and works. Simple!

Are There Better Deals Available?

From time to time Hostgator publishes special deals on their hosting packages and I've seen some pretty attractive ones over the years. But you need to be aware of what you're getting with these codes and any others that look too good to be true.

Often, with very big discount codes, like the occasional 40% and 50% deals that you sometimes see offered, they are valid but only give you that discount off your first month's hosting with your chosen plan.

That's fine if you are going for a big dedicated server and you can save half the first month's price because those things are real expensive! But if you're going for a more modest shared account like the popular baby or a small reseller like the Aluminum plan, then half your first month cost is not much of a great deal.

That is, that best hostgator discount code you thought you were using is suddenly not so great when you compare it with a 25% coupon that is valid for the full term of your billing cycle like the one on display in this post and in the right column on this page. Let me explain.

Real Saving on Total Billing Cycle

When you use the coupon printed above to get 25% off the cost at signup, you get that discount on the full price of your hosting for the duration you pay for in one go. So let's say you're going to pay for a full two-year reseller Aluminum plan, which would normally cost $598.80 at today's prices.

When you punch in the coupon, you get that price reduced by 25%, or $149.70 giving you a total cost over two years of $449.10. That works out at $18.72 a month for the next 2 years!

Let's compare that with a 50% off coupon that only gives you that discount for the first month, which is currently $24.95. You'd save $14.43 but after that you'd be paying the full price every month. Not much of a saving compared to the 25% coupon, right?

You Know it Makes Sense!

It just makes perfect sense when you consider the savings in real terms and not just what you can get off the first month! And that includes those insane looking 1c hosting discounts. If you think you're going to get your hosting for 1c a month with that coupon, think again!

It's only 1c for the first month and after that, you pay full cost my friend!

So if you are serious about wanting to save money on web hosting, take a closer look at this 25% off coupon. You can use it for the full billing cycle that you pay for initially and if you are considering paying for a full year, 2 years (or even 3 years on shared hosting plans), you can end up saving yourself a serious wedge of cash!

What's that coupon code again? NOWSAVE25PC

Use it as per the simple instructions you'll find in the right column near the top of this page.
