It would be a PITA having 5 or 6 seperate accounts unless they could be linked. You would need to balance cost of multiple accounts over one single one.

You would also need to think about load balancing. 5 accounts could be spread over multiple servers. Otherwise you need to take the risk of if one goes off line they all do should you hit a server issue.

I currently run 5 domains on 1 account. I ran it for 2 or 3 months first with one domain to make sure it was stable enough before moving over the other sites. My bandwidth on the sites varies (I have 2 very busy ones and 3 quiet - personal ones). My combined bandwith is around 10-12 Gb per month atm and growing. 1 site accounts for half the bandwidth on its own.

If you are thinking of using "paid for" forum software, you will need a licence for each domain......its going to get *very* expensive.
