Help! Need trusted service.
| Posted by bob950, 09-13-2009, 03:04 PM |
| Alrighty. So, my current hosting provider for my reseller isn't really working out too great. Right now, I host 3 personal websites for myself on my reseller, so I only need like 7-10gb of space. Bandwidth is not a big issue either, so that doesn't have to be too high. Basically, I need a trusted company that can offer me a small reseller, for preferably under 10 dollars a month. Can anybody help me out? Ive had some experiences with some bad hosts, so I want to make sure this one will be one that is trusted, and that functions nicely.

| do you actually resell ? sounds like a shared hosting package could do good for your needs.

| It would be linux. And no, I do not resell, but I would prefer to have a reseller account because I do a lot of webdesign, and like working on sites as a hobby. Having a reseller makes this much easier for me.

| Getting a reseller account is a good choice. Your budget and requirements seem reasonable so it shouldn't be too hard finding a provider to fulfill your needs. Just be sure to find one that can offer reliable service. You could try going to HostVoice.com (WHT's "Find a Host" feature) to see if you can get any custom quotes through that.
Good luck in your search

| 10gb of space, under 10$ per month AND trusted... you are going to have the same issues...
Most of the times, it's a matter of logic and math. Calculate how many resellers one server can handle with 10GB/10$ and you will find that this server has lots and lots and lots of sites... The more the sites, the more chances are for a server to have reliability issues.

| Definitely a groovy idea to keep things separate. That being said, I'd bump up your budget a few bucks to get a reliable provider.

| really does depend on the hardware - with today's technology, a server can have 10x the amount of sites as a server from 7 years ago and still be stable and reliable. just comes down to finding a host that actually monitors the servers properly to keep things stable and reliable.

| Just keep in mind with 10x more clients, that support prices will be 10x higher as well, backup prices will be higher, as well as bandwidth usage. There's a lot more to running a hosting company then just stuffing as many clients as you can and lowering your costs to beat out the competition.
Offering $10/month reseller accounts isn't really feasible in the long-term, which is why you'll see most of the larger and established companies with a much higher pricing structure.

| yeah, that's why my comments came from the server end and not the support end.

| Why do these threads end up not helping the people looking for help?
@bob950, look, just talk to some of the providers, try and find some feedback from other clients they may have and go from there.

| Gotcha
@ OP you can check out the reseller offers section and gather a shortlist of hosts that interest you and feel free to reply back to this thread for some comments on them.
