I want to develop several sites (with different domains) for myself and I am not interesting in reselling accounts.
The sites will start small and build up in time traffic and size. Scripts are mainly forum scripts.

1. Can I use an Baby hosting account with unlimited domains to host several personal sites with different domains or do I need a reseller?

2. Is there a difference in resources allocation between simple hosting and reseller (server load … not space and bandwidth ) ?

I most probably buy one account with you but dont want to spend my money on to much upfront for no use.
The sites I will put there will start from scratch and only one has some trafic but very low.

3. And if i get lucky and get sudden huge traffic how fast can I upgrade to a new account that support this traffic (probably dedicated) ?
Can this be made as a deal as if traffic/load reach some level I get billed and upgraded automatic to a better account?
I do want my site to be up and running even if traffic spikes.

Many thanks
