Suggestions Wanted.

[ronnie gauthier]

A wide open question.
Depends on your technical ability and how much you want to spend and how much
traffic or potential traffic the web sites will get. Also do you plan on
hosting others besides this one customer? Plan B would be overkill for one
customer, even with three domains, you need a reliable server plus if you take
your customers access seriously you need a redundant connection and maybe a
backup server. If you have no plans on growing a web farm I'd go with plan A
but with a hosting provider, not an ISP. Check out something like

check out features like cpannel and reseller pannel.
