Static site hosting hurdles

I've also been a Dreamhost customer for a long time. Note that Dreamhost's $10/mo is for I-don't-know-exactly number of domains. If you own a domain name you can add it in their dashboard, point it to their name servers, and you're up and running. Their services includes e-mail which means avoiding the perils of fully self-hosting.

While you could save a few dollars renting a VPS, it's only cheaper if your time is worth nothing. If you're just going to do static hosting I've found it to be a good deal.

Yeah I think it's infinite domains ... You pay a yearly fee for each domain, which is something like $16.

But the hosting is a flat fee at less than $10/month. (edit: just checked, actually I pay yearly for a discount.)

So I find that to be pretty nice, because I have had 5 domains at one point. And now I have 3 or so.

But I always keep the same hosting account. It works well in practice.

You can register your domains anywhere and point them at Dreamhost. I don't recall any fees for setting up a new domain with them so long as you already own it.
