Is 405 domains sharing the same server too many?

[txbakers]

ir really depends on the traffic and type of sites and the guts of the server

405 simple grandma picture sites would be no problem, but 405 streaming video sites, with hi bandwidth might be a problem.

There is no hard and fast rule for something like this.

Thank you, I understand what you mean. I can see (using ****) that the domains vary. Is there a tool out there to check if these domains on the same server are using too much bandwidth, etc?

[robert adams]

are these 405 domains yours? or on your server. If so, you should be able to determine these things yourself. If you are just being curious about someone else's domains I don't know of a way to really know those things about them.

there was a way on alltheweb.com to search for IP address.
This gives you the possibility to find out which domains are on the server. But traffic/bandwidth wise you have to investigate yourself site by site. Maybe alexa is of help here

A few of the domains are mine, but the other hundreds are not. Its a webhost, hostitcheap, who i've been hearing bad things about, and who I know for a fact has been going around posting fake messages ("I love hostitcheap... blah blah blah") on boards that complain about their service. This kind of thing has me looking at them more deeply, my sites were down this morning, and it felt like 400+ domains sharing the same server was a bit much.

Thanks for your input. I'm investigating new hosts.

p.s. To Hostitcheap, dont bother posting here. (smile)
