Just an inquiry of who are the best companies out there offering reseller plans. I am looking for Hsphere and Cpanel. Looking for the most popular reseller comps. Last edited by dothisthing; 07-26-2004 at 10:41 AM.

Depends what you are looking for, best price, best network, best support lots of different things to consider. One host may be best for the one person, but not for another. All depends on what you are looking for really.

Hi, Really depends what you are looking for and what your budget is - I reccomend you try out the hostquote. http://www.webhostingtalk.com/request.php Dan

Give the shared/reseller section a look to and also once you see a few you like search for them on this forum and also do presales questions to test speed and accuracy. Good Luck

Seriously did you bother reading what he is asking? How is host quote going to tell him who the best host is?

dothisthing, unfortunately the short way to finding a good hosting provider does not exist. Yes, it might seem like a good idea to ask "who's the best", but the fact of the matter is that there is no such thing as a best hosts or tops hosts list. There are however very good providers out there. What you need to do is find them and you can do that by preparing a list of hosts and then looking for customer reviews. Google and http://www.webhostingtalk.com/search.php?s= can come in handy. Sending emails to each provider (asking some questions) will also help to gauge the responsiveness and the attitude of the host. The time it takes to receive a response is also important. There's no miraculous shortcut. You have to do your own research on hosts. Good luck!

Find a reseller host then see if maybe you can contact some of their resellers to ask them about uptime and support. You would be suprised you could find out some great information to make your decision. Make sure they have phone support as well. You dont want to get stuck when something goes wrong with no way of contacting them. Good luck and hope you find what you are looking for.

Hi, I agree to what Dan has mentioned, no shortcuts in finding a good host. But a couple of thing you might want to check upon your prospective future host: - how long has the company been in existence - do they have 24 x 7 support - do they have a phone support facility available - what is the uptime they offer ( do not be fooled by network uptime, check the server uptime ) - do not forget to read the TOS to see if there are any hidden terms - ask the host about the datacenter they host in - do they have a money back guarantee or not ? once you have the prospective list prepared, search hard on WHT and you will be able to get a decent information. & above all, please understand that 'you get what you pay for' so, happy hunting !!! Cheers, Simon

Hmmm, just remember you get what you pay for. In other words, dont go for the dirt cheap (levi1.com , e-z-hosting.com, iwebspeed.com)

As always, great advice from Dan

Unfortunately this is the reality of the situation. Most of the time if it sounds to good to be true... well it is. I wish there was an easier way to cut out the crap for people searching for a host but there isn't. Best of luck and have a great day!

I definatelly agree with what bob72 said earlier...make sure to look at how their hosting is, reliability, etc..

I am drooling over that design! I love it. A HUGE improvement from their old one

Finding a good host starts with a WHT thread (of course). After you get some ideas about which hosts (generally) have good reputations, you should do a bit of homework your self. I'd recommend compiling a short list of hosts that interest you based upon your budget, bandwidth and diskspace requirements. Use the WHT search function to find out more information about the companies that interest you. Use words like "review" and "month" (as in so many month review) to target the helpful posts. Once you have a feel for the better companies (or the companies with stirling reputations) develop some presale questions you can ask. In addition to looking at their uptime, and their reputation, ask them for references (clients who will answer your questions honestly) and to view their terms of service. You can ask them presales questions by either posting to their forums or by email. Asking by email gives you the added advantage of gauging the speed of their response, and the tone or helpfulness. Finally, use the results of your homework to decide and sign up. Best of luck finding a host. Cheers Jeff

Try making a search on WHT for "testimonial" or "review" coupled with the term reseller. You should find what you're looking for.

I use levi1 (former e-z-hosting) services and I only have praises for them. I used several other reseller companies, but levi1 is far the best. They offer best value for money and excellent 24/7 live service. So, don't look any further!

Honestly as the others said, I maters on what types of accounts you want to sell... If you want to sell of to people that consume a lot of bandwidth, look for Unmetered accounts... etc... Just look for the type of server that will let you sell to the type of customer you want I got some unmetered accounts btw.. Just IM me
