Do you have another domain you need hosted by them?
Do you REALLY need a different IP?
These are questions YOU need to answer, not someone else.

Hello!
I would advise against using dreamhost. They are a major “overseller”. An overseller is a host that sells more resources than they have or can provide. They are a large company, and support & server speeds are very slow. For example, dreamhost will put thousands of websites on one server. If maybe 5-10 of them actually used all they were allowed, the server would be overloaded.
Your best bet is to go and register at webhostingtalk.com and ask what host would be best for you, it is a helpful community and is reliable, unlike top 10 lists you may see, which are based off affiliate links…
You will NEVER need whatever resources they say you will get… Also, avoid registering domains with a host, as if you want to cancel or get a refund, you will have problems getting the domains back.
If you really want to go with an overseller for some reason, I would say hostgator.com is best, as they provide pretty good customer service.
Good luck, and believe me, customer service and server/website speed is worth more than a ill promised 100’s of gigabytes of resources.
Also, an example of poor service on dreamhost’s behalf is:http://valleywag.com/346677/dreamhost-st…
You probably don’t want that to happen to you.

I would like to suggest following webhosting which I use, they are excellent.
Hostmonster http://www.hostmonster.com/track/ryukend…
They offer hosting of “unlimited domains” and you will get massive webspace of 600000 MB (600 GB ). They only charge $5.95/month and they offer “a free Domain Name” and installing service called “Fantastico”. By using Fantastico, you could create own forum, photo gallery, shopping cart (e-commerce),your own auction site and your own blogs within few seconds. They also offer “Free Website Builder” as well.
Visit the site to check details.

Hmm, but do you need four domains? And can they be individual sites? I know some companies buy more than one (to keep competition from having similar), but they all go to the same site.
Were it me, the extra storage would sound like the better deal if what I had planned would use up a large amount.
