Are these super cheap hosts I see any good? They typically are under $10 month and offer unlimited domains, unlimited bandwidth, and unlimited disk space.
I have many domains to develop.

I am not familiar with any of the hosts in your subject line. However price of your host be it cheap or costly sound not be your factor in choosing.
I had a very expensive host years ago and they were crap!
I have had inexpensive hosts that were "OK". But did not offer enough site functions or upgrade to met my sites needs.
You need to look long term at what your sites needs will be and then look into everything a host has to offer before choosing.
Then lastly compare prices.
Hope this helps

I would be wary of anyone offering unlimited bandwidth or unlimited disk space for hosting. It costs money to maintain hosting services and there is no way you can cut costs without affecting the quality of service.
If they pile on thousands of sites into one box, (they have to do this if they are offering hosting at that price range) you will have poor response time and the bandwidth will be throttled and so will be the server resources. Might not be a big issue for a small static site. But it will be a major issue if you consider dynamic pages.

Prowler ( or anyone who knows ) how can one tell if their host is "piling"?
They of course will say they don't but how can we check that our for ourselves?

It is easy enough if you do reverse IP lookup. Let us say that a site is hosted in a server. Unless they have assigned a dedicated IP address for this site, you can do a reverse look up using this IP address the site resolves to. It will show some of the sites resolving to this IP address and an indication that there are about 1n sites from this IP.
One place where you can check this is: [link]
I have no connection to this site mentioned above. It was thrown up in a search for reverse IP lookup.

exactly what i have found, with a small static site like a frontpage or dreamweaver type of site you will be fine, but as soon as you start adding an functionality, host a dynamically generated site and start making calls to a database your are in trouble.
godaddy just decreased all the MySQL repsonse time values and crashed my clients site (I still cannot get him to move his site). To me this means that they are having serious resource issues.
pay your money and get good, quality hosting, nothing is free and you really do only get what you pay for.
