Hosting keyword-loaded domains

Recommendations for cheap/free hosts for setting up keyword-loaded domains

[jick]

I have a number of domain names containing good keywords, and some unique names for our product. Our product has a UK spelling with an 'S' and the US equivalent is spelt with a 'Z'.

Currently we have lots of visitors searching for our product name, something like 500 visitors a month. We have no hits for searches using the US 'z' spelling of our product name. But I have a few domain names with the product name in it spelt with a 'z'. Currently these domains simply redirect visitors to our current site.

What I want to do is setup a site using one of the domains that spell our product name with a 'z', and host a single or few pages containing the 'z' spelling. Since the product name is not a competitive search term, I'm hoping to get a good position in the SEs and hence catch US visitors that spell our product name differently.

So, my question is: I have the domains, but I would like to host them somewhere, preferrably for free, or at least very cheaply. I have a few keyword loaded domain names I would like to setup like this, so I am looking for a web-host where I can point all these domains to different directories on the same server and serve up keyword specific pages. Any recommendations for hosts? I need to keep costs to an absolute minimum.

This is a very interesting concept for a few different reasons. There are some good "deals" out there to be found. The free ones generally run ad banners, some with pop-up ads, so I don't know if they're workable for everything.

What I'm wondering is if it makes any difference if a number of sites will share the same IP number (though not at one of the big free virtual hosts) and if there would be any problems with linking between some of them.

I've always used freeservers which has a banner if you host for free. For 6 bucks a month the banner goes and you get basic stats reporting. It seems that their servers choke every once in a while when Google crawls, so sometimes they vanish from the index for a bit.
