Thread: Reseller Hosting

I need an excellent Reseller company. The one that I have now, has been sold and idiots have taken over, my sites go down for an hour or more every couple of days

I cannot afford for this to happen. I will also look at VPS as well, just need something done today!! Dedicated maybe if the price is right, but I need a company that knows what they are doings and have very little if no downtime.

I've had a reseller with www.qoozz.com from quite some time now, never had a problem, no downtime, immediate support, good prices, if they ever raised prices, I'd stay, I've never had such a reliable host before them.

I would recommend dinohost.com

I am using their shared hosting for the past few months and never have seen any downtime or slow speed.

Reseller Hosting from Dinohost

They are very expert and support is good. I am sure they will not disappoint you.

Good luck.

I've been with dinohost only a few weeks now so can't give a fair review but so far they've been amazing plus I've sold a site to the owner in the past so it's good to know the host on a more personal level. So far I've not been sorry, thanks for recommending them to me at DP awhile back Jani!

My advice is not to purchase hosting from any provider without making sure to read their Terms of Service very carefully to make sure there are no loopholes or provisions that you would inadvertently violate.

Then you should do your best to find unbiased reviews of the hosts you are thinking about going with, http://www.webhostingtalk.com/ is a good place to find unbiased reviews because they verify the reviews posted and they can be quite hard/strict on the rules.

Beyond that, make sure to do at least a little communication with their sales staff and preferably their support staff if you can so that you can get a feel for who they are and how competent they really are.

Last, and most important, is to ALWAYS MAINTAIN YOUR OWN BACKUPS EVEN IF YOUR HOST SAYS THAT THEY DO IT FOR YOU!. If the host turns out to be garbage or does eventually go bad and say you lose access to the server all together, you will not be able to obtain a backup (at least not quickly and easily) and it will be MUCH easier to move your account(s) to another provider if you have the necessary backups should the event arise.

Best of luck in your search!

Thank you all so much, I appreciate all the advice, and am having a look at all of them

Do you think that its best to have a few sites with different companies??

I am using these guys from more than a month currently .... no downtime till now. support is always available online. I am using Singapore reseller as ping times is low for Asia-Pacific countries.
Only prob is they don't have paypal as payment option.
SkyNetHosting.Net - UK/US Reseller/Shared Hosting. Windows Hosting. VPS & Dedicated Servers


and yes separate hosting for diff sites is best option.

Yes, mine are always spread out on 3, if one goes down at least all your sites aren't down. you know the whole eggs/basket thing.

Thats an excellent idea, never ever thought of that, thank you!! :3076:

My advice would be not to get caught up in the "1TB of space for $4/mo" deals. If you're being offered unrealistic amounts of space & bandwidth, the Terms of Service are probably loaded with clauses restricting what you can host on your account. You're in a situation where reliability should be your top priority.

When choosing a host look for an established company that's been around a while, I've seen too many fly-by-night hosts offer ridiculous plans only to realize they can't even pay their server bills with what they're charging customers.

My last host was great until they decided to sell and the new people mustnt be sure how to run it. And sites going down is horrible.

I'd go with a VPS if you have a slew of sites and aren't actually reselling. That way you've got control over everything and if someone goes down you can fix it yourself and wont have to worry as much about being on an oversold server or not getting the performance you want.

That is if you know how to manage a server and you want to manage it yourself.

Just like what the admin said, qoozz.com is really reliable and I have been with them before. The prices are unbeatable so if you need reliable hosting fast, go with qoozz. In other words, if your looking for UK hosting, I seriously recommend eUKhost.com (I have a VPS with them), good prices especially for the UK.

If you see an over-selling host it does not mean not to go with them. Look at hostgator a major overseller, but they are doing great and have a great reputation.

I personally had a reseller account with HostGator and I couldn't really complain. It wasn't amazing but it wasn't horrible either.

Do some research on the host at Web Hosting Companies and also do a whois search on their domain to see how long they have been in business.

Also make sure they are not reselling reseller accounts. Make sure they at least have their own dedicated servers.

For reseller account I use HostGator, they have been around for years and are one of the biggest hosts in the industry!

Web Hosting, Reseller Hosting, and Dedicated Website Hosting w/ cPanel - HostGator also they have various coupons for new customers.
