I often use the analogy that in web tech and web marketing, predicting the path is like using a map to chart non-interstate ways to get from NY to Miami--many turns to be factored in real-world time/cost. But when you actually take the trip, it's like walking
barefoot along the coast the whole way. Professional web host management get you back on the map.</div>

Hi Rich,<br>
<br>
Not knowing details but assuming something in the PHP world, I recommend Dreamhost. You had mentioned using AWS which hopefully means that you are comfortable at the command-line. DH offers shell access and gives you control of which domain runs under which
user. The caveat here is that they have some resource usage throttling that is measured by user. Depending on the traffic your sites get, you might be better off under one of their VPS offerings. Their VPS product mimics the shared hosting as far as administration
so migrating from one to the other is fairly seamless. The only shortfall there compared to other VPS hosting is lack of root access.<br>
<br>
If you're really comfortable managing a server, DigitalOcean offers VPS with root - AWS lite of sorts. Their smallest VPS is only $5/mo. I run 2 PBXs and a dev server on 3 separate instances with no problems.<br>
<br>
Finally, if you're looking for tried-and-true shared hosting, I recommend a cPanel host. As long as its not too locked down, you'll be able to run all of the domains under a single account and share code from a central location. I work with a cPanel-based host,
bSquare Web (<a class="x_moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://bsquareweb.com/">https://bsquareweb.com/</a>) as a part time sysadmin and web developer. It's a small operation but they own physical machines colocated at a local (to them) data center and run
hundreds of client sites.<br>
<br>
Can you provide more details about the shared logic that you're talking about? I might be able to give some advice on that as well.<br>
<br>
All the best,<br>
- Jeff<br>
