Hi, I would like to get any opinions about the following 3 companies regarding 1. as a company, 2. their cusomter service and 3. the packages. I have been looking Windows 2003 reseller packages for a while now and these 3 seem very good. Below is what they are offering and I would like to get some opinions/comments about them from people who know them or have dealt with them before. ResellerGuru: http://www.resellerguru.com Currently ResellerGuru.com comes out as being on the ball to me. They are very responsive with their help and their packages are not all too bad. They currently have a special for $99 per annum offering: Disk space 2.5GB Bandwidth 45GB OS 2003 unlimited domains Unlimited E-Mail and the usual good stuff. MS SQL Databases 5 with addtional costing $10per month They have full MS SQL and not MSDE. Support private nameservers Control Panel HELM - Quite complicated and maybe more than required for clients Support full customisation of control panel Setup fee: $0 Normal monthly : $14.95 MDS Host: http://www.mds-host.com They also seem very responsive. I have sent through an information request and got a response in an hour of sending through the request. Their package: Disk space 10GB Bandwidth 100GB OS 2003 unlimited domains, Unlimited E-Mail and the usual good stuff. Unlimited MS SQL Databases (limited only by amount of disk space as per package) They have full MS SQL and not MSDE. Support private nameservers Control Panel Custom - Neat and Easy to navigate and use Support full customisation of control panel Setup fee: $15 Normal monthly : $29.95 Unifiednet: http://unifiednet.net They also seem very responsive. I have communicated e-mails with them over 2 days/nights and got responses very quickly. They also seem uncomplicated and very professional. Their package: Disk space 5GB Bandwidth 50GB OS 2003 unlimited domains, Unlimited E-Mail and the usual good stuff. Unlimited MS SQL Databases (limited only by amount of disk space as per package) They have MSDE Control Panel Plesk 7 - Really like this one. Setup fee: $0 Normal monthly : $25.00 Sorry, I do not want to offend any company or person or break the rules of WHT. All I want is opinion and unbiased comment from experience with these companies so it will help me and others reading these mails make decisions. thank you

Someone please tell me if I'm wrong, but as far as I know, MSDE is only for DEVELOPMENT only, and would be prohibited to use it on web servers, especially for shared hosting??
