Thread: What is the best hosting reseller program out there?

I want to start my own hosting company but I'm not sure what company has the best reseller plan and support.
Can someone help?

My recommendation would be HostGator. I have been using them for over 4 years and have rarely had any problems - all of which were dealt with quickly.

innohosting.com get some pretty good reviews at the hosting forums too.

As for the best, it is what is best for you.

I'll take your word and their 45 day money back for it.

I just ordered the aluminum reseller pack to start.

Thanks for the info.

You are very welcome. By the way I could have gotten a $100 commission for getting you to join but that wasnt my motivation for recommending them.

Yes, HG can provide hosting for you as long as you have a PayPal account or credit card.

Hostgator is a pretty good choice, let us know how your experience is with them after a few months.

Can you make some good money with hosting reseller plans though :O? Whats the profit's like and whats the general expenditure? How much do you pay out to the original hosting provider? Any tips appreciated .

I'm glad you went with HostGator! They're really great!

It is not an easy thing to make money with host resellling. Remember, you will be competing against the big guys and thousands of other resellers.

In my opinion a reseller account is great for a a webmaster who has more than one website of their own but if you are thinking of trying to start a business to make money this is not an easy way to go.

I have been running a reseller business for about 4 years now and I do have a few paying clients (helps cover expenses) but I am also hosting several of my own sites as well as those of a few friends and family.

I'm making a fair amount of money through reselling, enough to cover my costs and just about keep me going if I did loose my job, I did a lot of promotion when I first set it up but haven't done much since (so it's all word of mouth and promo-codes on forums like these).
I'm with HeartInternet and am really impressed with the service I get from them. The downside is that they don't offer end-user support (like many reseller accounts) but this is easy enough for me to provide myself.

Can you share what your experience is so far? I know hostgator sharing is good for I have been using it for over a year now. But when it comes to reseller hosting... Is their any difference in their uptime?

BTW, Anybody using LunarPages reseller hosting?

What kind of promoting did you do when you started if you don't mind me asking? I currently sell webspace and reseller accounts and all that good stuff and was just curious as to how you promoted it?

I'm getting a real headache with the whmcs script. I'm gonna keep trying.

There isnt a such thing as a best host. Whats good for one may not be good for another. I would personally stay away from the unlimted space and bandwidth, there is no such thing as unlimited, everything has an end.

Good luck in your search.

If you need space, go for Lunarpages. If service is the priority, then try Hostgator. Apply a coupon and you will get $25 discount for first month.

Take a Look at Reseller Hosting - cheapest reseller hosting, cpanel/whm, free domain reseller, free ssl, free dedicated ip's, linux reseller - 111HOST , it's not a hostgator but providing excellent reseller hosting.

I like your comment

I got reasonably good uptime with hostgator, nearly 99.9% most of the months. From my experience, their uptime is one of the best among the oversellers.
