Web-hosting w/ multiple domains?

First Post
Could anyone recommend a decent web-hosting company that allows multiple domains (pointing to different content, not merely aliases) per account at a reasonable price?

I have a couple of small, low-traffic hobby sites, but my current hosting company will not allow two domains on one account and is making me pay for two of their Basic accounts ($24/month). It kind of bugs me since I barely use 1/4 of the bandwidth on either account in a given month.

The only requirement I have is that I need to be on a Windows 2000/2003 based setup.

I've been using WebHost4Life . To be honest, I don't know what they charge for multiple domains on one account, but each account is only $9.95 a month, so that's still less than you're paying now.

Depending on your site you can actually go even cheaper if you don't need ASP.NET or SQL Server.
 

Hosting Companies

Hi. I own www.GreyhawkOnline.com (GHO). I've been offering free webhosting through it for about 2 yrs. I've been with a company called www.Digihosters.com. I also own several "subdomains." With GHO as the primary account I have lots of webspace 10G and 100G download bandwidth. I also have subdomians - where I purchased other domains and they point to a subsite inside GHO. So when you go to www.OerthJounral.com (OJ.com), it really is just a folder inside GHO. Its not that noticeable, unless your ftping - email to an @OJ.com or other hosted sites still work. I pay a really decent price - not the standard due to some work that I did for them. The account is usually around $50 a month. The biggest thing that I have with digihosters.com - I get forums, mailing lists, subdomains, space and tons of other stuff - is that there is downtime. About 2 weeks ago they moved my stuff to a new server and its still causing problems. One of my subdomains is my primary email, yet all subdomain email isn't working. So that's screwing things up. Sometimes I wonder that because I get a good account that it takes longer to fix. I don't know. It hasn't always been this way, but I figure I've often wanted to move, but I can't afford $50 a month and I want / need the space and bandwidth with the sites that I host in the background. So I deal with the lack of total support.
If price and size is what you want then they are worth it. But like NASA said, you can only have two out of the three things that you want. I'd recommend contacting them and seeing what they'll do for you and let them know that GHO sent you, and he might get you a good deal.

This site looks an awful lot like the exact setup that Featureprice.com used before they went belly up and got bought out. Have they been around awhile or is this a relatively new provider?
 

Will subdomains work? (i.e. /foo.yoursite.com/ and /bar.yoursite.com/) If so, check out www.phpwebhosting.com--I use them as a webhost.

If subdomains do not work, then I suspect you are out of luck without creating your own server--but then, you should be able to find cheaper hosting than $24/month/account (I pay $10/month)
