I am looking for a reseller that would suit me:

I am a freelance web designer, and I just want to experiment with reselling. I prefer to pass clients on to a full time dedicated hosting service, but recently I have had a few occasions where I think reselling would be a good way to earn a little extra.

I would use it mainly for small individual sites or a small business, nothing to important! Probably only need up to 5 small sites to begin with.

It would need latest php, mysql, etc. And I prefer a linux server. And UK based

Anyone got any ideas. I have seen a few prices and they seem very cheap compared to what you guys are talking about here, so they must be very low spec.

Advice appreciated.

Bobby

Your are heading in the right direction..but choose wisely a reseller account where the Host would help you since you are new and may need a little bit hand-holding as far as how to manage your account and working with WHM.

Bobby,

you should go with a reseller account only. As you are working as designer, you dont have time for server management. you can start with basic reseller account, let's say 1GB webspace and 10GB bandwidth.

check out offers box, you will find out many offers there. But can you let us know why you need UK-based? I know many UK-based firms having servers in US :) so, it doesnt matter if you have an abroad provider, of course if they are good :)

Yes - only looking at reseller accounts!

Well, I work in the UK and nearly all my clients are based in the UK so I have always used UK based servers.

I have seen that some of the reseller accounts here offer US based servers at a discounted rate. What would I be trading off for the better price?


Thanks

bobby
