Just out of curiousity..

You get 2 GB of Space, and 8GB of BW in Total to divide among your clients?

Or is that just for yourself, and you get more space and bandwidth to be divided up among your clients?

Just for the information, that plan can be upgraded to more space/bandwidth anytime and it includes hosting for unlimited domains :) The reason why we recommended to start out with less bandwidth, is to reduce the initial monthly costs until a solid client base is built.

Ben: I have tried sending you an eMail twice to your @aol.com account, but it bounced back. I will be on AIM in about 1-2 hours!

i do see it is unlimited domains but what about ip's?

what control panel do you have? the demo on your site just loads a plans page. each domain does get its own control panel correct?

we have taken down the demo control panel our site, but it is available if you are interested :) the control panel is "CPanel" (included with every domain) and the reseller plan also includes full access to WHM (WebHostManager). There is absolutely no limit on how many domains you can host and all domains must be name-based. This also includes your own DNS (with 2 static IPs), Mail and FTP Servers, as well as unlimited POP3 accounts, unlimited Subdomains, unlimited FTP Accounts for you and your clients and all the standard features we offer in our plans ;)

Whoa, whoa, whoa... let me get this straight...

There is no 2GB plan listed on your site, so Mark, can you e-mail me some more info on that offer you made to Ben. I would be very interested in something like that too...

One more detail I want to ask you is the availability of customer support - is it 24/7 or you have some specific hours you don't answer support e-mail (like during the night)...? Just in case my site goes offline at 3AM...

Thanks a lot!

Thanks a lot! I'll let Marc answer the issue re: not advertising the reseller plan..

As for support speaking as a customer... so far support has been 24/7 with the longest query taking around 6 hours and that was a non essential query re: a 2 minute blip. Most of the time it's around less than an hour.

Still early days mind but so far so good. :)

Our reseller plan is better in some respects and worse in others. It is better in that includes a lot more bandwidth (up to 50GB/month!), but less domains. It is up to you to decide what is more important.

Our plan includes 10 domains accounts each with the following features:

100 MB Disk Space
5000 MB Data Transfer
1 Domain
50 POP3 Emails
10 Mailing Lists
50 Autoresponders
Email Filtering
SMTP
Web Email
Resource Meters
Counters
Web Statistics
Change Password
PHP4
SSI
1 MySQL Database
Control Panel
Frontpage Extensions
Email Manager
Custom Error Pages
Password Protection
Apache Handlers
Secure Server
SSH
99% Uptime Guarantee
Web Based File Manager

We offer CPanel3 as our control panel to end users and Web Hosting Manager to our resellers. The cost is
$49.95 per month.

Should you sell more than 10 domains you can order 10 more for the same price $49.95 per month.

Take care,

Brian

Just a thought Marc but what's the deal on IP addresses... Any charges there for extras, etc...?

Figured I'd anticipate the question.

MCHost-Marc

You get 2 Free IP Addresses for your nameservers, but all domains you setup are name-based - no extra charge. Check your PMs :)
