Which is the best reseller with the highest bandwith/disk space?

Go Dedicated ? ;) Most accounts come with 300 to 400gb/mth bandwidth + 60gb of disk space (about 50gb of useable space)

Many hosts can create a plan to accomodate your needs. I have seen hosts offer like 20GB Diskspace and 300GB bandwidth to some resellers :)

Wow! that is massive. I would assume that they would be overselling to be able to provide that. Or they are hosting 2 to 3 resellers per server so as to not oversell.

Yep! For the most past I believe that it would be overselling as well, but you never know. Some folks are running 1000GB + adn are able to offer it like this, but I am always leary of GREAT OFFERS for reseller accounts that in MOST cases equal or CRUSH the specs on many dedicated servers.

True, I know that CPU speed has gone up quite a bit since I first got on the web and harddisk capacity has gone up but providing 300gb per shared reseller is really overdoing the system.

Yes, you could have a 10mbps server and a 200gb harddisk, you could most definitely support 10 resellers with 300gb/bandwidth each and 20gb harddisk space. But beyond that would still be overselling.

Yes, I am still leary about this plan. But I am sure without a shadow of a thought that if a reseller can sell that much space should have more than sufficient funds to finance a full dedicated for themselves. It makes good business sense to ensure optimum performance for their clients and thus happy customers.
