Linux Reseller Hosting with ThePlanet/EV1 Server
| Posted by qwer2007, 02-09-2007, 06:09 AM |
| Hello,
Can anybody suggest me who are the reliable and reputable hosts that provide linux reseller hosting using ThePlanet/EV1 servers. I prefer to have providers with DDoS and Security protection enabled.
The specifications I am looking for are:
Diskspace: Minimum 5GB
Monthly Transfer: Minimum 500 GB/month
Control Panel: cPanel/WHM
Domains: Unlimited
Static IP: Minimum 4
Thanks.

| The sites hosting on them are non-HYIP or public gaming sites. But rather more on soho and sme business sites. Thus, reliability and security issue is the main factor to consider. I forgot to mention the budget. The budget should be less than a VPS's cost.

| glad youre looking for theplanet. They are by far the best provider out there in terms of connectivity.

| Many people would disagree with you there. They may be good (though I disagree there too) but to say they are "by far the best" is a stretch.
As for hosting providers at TP/EV1: HostGator are one that I know of, I am sure there are more. Check The Planet's forums, I believe there's a thread on there that lists official resellers. In addition, I believe "onthespothosting" just happens to be at The Planet.

| What sort of budget are you looking to keep under? That'll affect the ideal web host for those requirements.

| Just from my experience I avoid anything having to do with EV1 but your experience may vary.

| EV1 has nothing to do with theplanet. I believe they merged and theplanet due to its superior uptime is taking the lead on that merger. We have had absolutely no issues with their network.

| The budget should be less than an average VPS cost. Means, under $50/month.

| I am not sure I can say TP is best. However, I had some servers with them in the past and they never disapointed me. That's why I am looking for the resller hosting on TP server.

| Can anyone put me on the right track which DC should I consider (I am not living in US anyway) and which cPanel/WHM reseller should I consider in terms of the reliability and reputation. Hostgator is the only reputable host that I know off so far. But I would like to choose the more reputable and reliable one than that. My monthly budget won't exceed over an average VPS cost for the reseller hosting. I might allot maximum of 50$ per month for a reseller account. I won't host over 75 domains in that reseller account but prefer to have the unlimited domains license of cPanel/WHM. I would use up just around 7 GB of storage but I prefer to have minimum 10 GB of storage. The monthly transfer quota should be +/- 350GB per month assuming the host has securely configured for DDoS and flood protections. I prefer the host that could gurantee me from DDoS and Floods causing bandwidth overage charges. Most of the hosted sites would be SOHO/SME business sites and thus reliability and uptime is extremely important. If the hosting provider can assure of DDoS and flood protection, the monthy quota of +/- 150 GB/month is acceptable.

| From a company that was once hosted at theplanet - I can tell you with 100% certainty that this comment is a load of ****
I cannot think of any reputable reseller provider that would allocate 500 GB of transfer to a reseller account..
if you really need this much transfer, you should be looking at a managed dedicated solution

| I would also recommend HG in The Planet...
BTW, have you checked ResellerZoom? Their failover plans are in NAC in NJ - a plan that probably suits you : 24g space, 480g transfer for 60$.

| I gotta agree, I don't think ThePlanet is the best either.

| I don't mind about being at ThePlanet or not. It can be any DC as long as they are far better than ThePlanet. I am not sticking to ThePlanet but prefer the better DC than TP.
I really do not need 500GB transfer (which I put extremely high safety factor of bandwidth overage under some mishaps). The max utilized bandwidth of my hosting accounts (less than 50) are not even exceed 10GB/month with an average of around 4GB/month only over the past few years.
As long as the service provider can gurantee about DDoS, Floods and attacks from occuring bandwidth overage charges, I am fine with the traffic under +/- 150 GB/month based on my previous mentioned traffic utilization.
