Alright, i was thinking of going through Host Dream to buy my reselling, but for such a small price, there space and bandwidth seem to be very high, at least to me.

What do you guys think of em? Anyone know someone who uses them?

Hmm... Does look a little much for the price. I suppose they get you by charging for accounts:
Quote:

Host UNLIMITED Domains, each domain you added to your reseller account is only $0.30/month
I would assume they are overselling quite a bit on their servers as even rackshack can only provide a server and 400Gb of transfer/month for $99.

I would also be aware of:
Quote:

Software file (exe), Zip file & Media file
All users have to notify us before upload any kind of software program (i.e. file with exe extension, including freeware), zip or media file (video & audio) to our servers. Otherwise, your site will be terminated without warning. This action is protected our server and not letting outsider to download any copyrighted file.
As long as you don't plan to use all that space and bandwidth I think you'll be fine, but be careful!

a reseller account is the way to go if you are starting small.

I just starting reselling just so I could host my own domains and offer my web design customers more. I have to say this is something I should have done long ago. It's a real boost for business.

I have been using ClookHost , which I am VERY happy with. Their starter plan is 10 pounds which I think is about 15 bucks U.S.

The bandwidth allocation is way off. Technically it is called as overselling of bandwidth of space. i.e They know you won't use as much, therefore are trying to average off the usage and advertise large available transfers.


For ex. providing 50 GB Space on the last plan.. If the client actually used it, there will be just one client on that server.. unless they actually use a 120 GB drive, wherein they can host 2 customers.

2 customers can pay a maximum of 200$ a month....err.. you get the idea.

Whenever you choose a most, make sure they are reliable and logical too. Normal Servers with lots of clients can hardly push in excess of 200 GB due to issues of server load etc and to offer that much bandwidth on a single plan... ah well.. you guys can make the decision

This post looked a bit suspect to me, since you have only made 2 posts on the forum, and both of them have been: a reply to an old thread and about Reseller Panel. If I made a mistake, please contact me through PM. I apologize in advance if I have.

Here are a couple I've been using for a while. Both are basically cheap reseller accounts and both have given me good service.
www.page-zone.com - lots of features on a linux box. Stays uptodate with upgrades.
www.hostdepartment.com - Coldfusion, asp.net and sql server for $7.95/month with 5 domain names. Sounds almost too good to be true, but they haven't failed me in the 6 months I've been with them.
www.westhost.com - virtual server environment with lots of bandwidth and a MIVA account included for $20/month. Includes 5 domains. This is a well recognized host that powers webmasterworld- not a "cheap" host like the other 2. I've yet to find anybody who offers MIVA and ssl for less than $20/month. They even have 24/7 phone support.

After all the **** I have been in with valcato hosting matrix techbrink is for me the very best!
A good owner who has a really hart for any problems you might have, Rob at www.techbrink.com
Also he is online all the time with MSM so if you need support they are online to fix your problem!

Prices TOO cheap! But service first class, they have made a transfer to 4 of my old domains for FREE!
Server is really good fast and low downtime!

My experience is that lots of cheap ones use the price (when things go wrong) for an excuse such as: well with this price we can hire good staff for the support, or what do you think you get for these prices? And lots of other bla bla bla!
Techbrink did 3 times a transfer from my old domain to the new one, each website was between 200 and 500 MB, they did not even charge me and they did it right away!
Just check them out and kill me if its not good

I really like this one but I don't see anything about resellers on their web page.
