I’d committed to a dedicated server earlier this year when I had every intention of building literally thousands of web sites.

I’d subscribed to a membership forum to learn how to create (and - most importantly - how to market) made-for-adsense websites and followed the challenging tutorial up to the part where I actually needed to build these sites.

I’d worked tirelessly creating a network of 90 ‘blogfarms’ at this stage and I had over 300 self-populating Wordpress installs over the 500 domains I’d bought. It was about then that my enthusiasm died down. I’m not one to give up on any projects but I realized that working any harder would take time away from my other sites and, for every month the sites lay unfinished I was throwing away $175 for a dedicated server and faced a $500+ domain renewal fee in the next few months.

I’ve now sold off all the domains, sold the blog farm and am shifting all 21 of my main websites over to three shared hosting accounts. I’m still sticking with Hostgator.php” target=”_blank”>Hostgator as they’ve been nothing but wonderful with me for the 3 years I’ve worked with them and I see no reason at all to change.

This is a great opportunity to organize my sites so there’s a chance that a few pages may no longer work. I’ll get round to fixing them at my leisure. I feel good to know that I’m saving $140 a month and have three unique IP addresses to link the sites together with.
