Hi..

Anyone know where I can find something like this:

*I need to be able to host multiple domains (no extra charge)
(i need to be able to park domains at free.. except for the domainregistration fee of course)

*I need to be able to host multiple websites

*I need to create users that have their own ftp-account, userpanel, websitestatistics and can create e-mail-adresses

*unlimited e-mail-adresses

*our own nameservers (if possible)

*diskspace and datatransfer do not need to be high

*I would like win2k servers
(or.. i need support for Active Server Pages and access databases)

*It would be nice with some asp-components like SA-FileUp

*I need to have webmail-support

*I would like a plane where I can manage my customers accounts myself (I don't want to buy a standard hostingplan with 30% discount for my customers, but one big plan where I can manage domains, users, websites etc. myself)

*I'm not interested in paying a big setup fee and over 200$/month with annual terms.. (I have a few clients with their own websites with very low traffic and a few e-mailadresses. And i have like 20 unused domain I'd like to point to our existing website) Therefore we are not looking for a full dedicated serversolution yet.. but would like to have a little more control over our domains, and would like to host all our clients ourselves..
A virtual private server, or some reselling-plan would be nice..

Some of you have any tips?
-Where I can look?
-Who I can contact?
-Am I beeing unreasonable with my requests?
-Anyting else I sould think of?


Thanx, and I hope for some answers..

Splashhost.com and MChost.com seems to be perfect for that


*I would like win2k servers
(or.. i need support for Active Server Pages and access databases)

AFAIK MCHost & Splashhost dont have WIN2k based servers, you are better off asking their support directly


*I need to have webmail-support

That can be easily added by changing MX records and using everyone.net or using other free webmail scripts available on the net


*I would like a plane where I can manage my customers accounts myself (I don't want to buy a standard hostingplan with 30% discount for my customers, but one big plan where I can manage domains, users, websites etc. myself)

:erm: Plane? you mean Panel? :)
Both of 'em supply you with WHM and CPanel which are one of the best ones and provide total control


*I'm not interested in paying a big setup fee and over 200$/month with annual terms.. (I have a few clients with their own websites with very low traffic and a few e-mailadresses. And i have like 20 unused domain I'd like to point to our existing website) Therefore we are not looking for a full dedicated serversolution yet.. but would like to have a little more control over our domains, and would like to host all our clients ourselves..

You can get a good dedicated server for < $200 month but as you dont need it you are better off using reseller plans, VPS's are almost identical to dedicated servers but it will be your headache to manage everything, so I would definately recommend that you resell


-Who I can contact?
-Am I beeing unreasonable with my requests?

Representatives of both companies usually are on this board and your requests dont seem unreasonable to me :)

Hope that helps :D

They don't have all you're asking for, but since mchost is recommended to death here...

You can email them and ask for a custom plan, if necessary.
I got a very nice one from them with a price I can affort. I was also attracted by their TOS, since I got some ... err, kinky stuff on most of the sites I run.

I use Donhost... http://www.donhost.com So far I have had no problems with them. Hope I helped:stickout By the way they are British so the cost is about 50$ a month in USD conversion.

I use ecommercediscovery and I am quite happy with their services. I am new to and several times i have needed support and to my amazement almost all emails have been answered within an hour, Most within 10 minutes. One of the drawbacks of being a reseller is sometimes you depend on your provider for support so you can support your customers. So you can see how important support is to your business.

I am not affiliated with them but I thought I would let you know I am happy with them and they have almost everything you asked for.

They to frequent these boards I do believe or you can look them up at www.ecommercediscovery.com

Im with DonHost too at the moment but am cancelling at the end of my billing period. Whilst their offer of unlimited space and 50Gig mth is an attractor, IMHO I would advise people to be wary.

Their support stinks. example: I use postnuke for my site http://unnedspace.com and wanted to offer nuke hosting, but for some reason the RSS newsfeed feature of nuke would not work.

I sent a support request ( typically I have found - a 2 day wait ) and their reply was quote: "That`ll be the firewall"

Thier support is typically like this: a VERY short reply that is usually no help at all.

You can try adehost.com, they have bulk reseller plans of Win2K and Linux. They also give you ColdFusion and MS-SQL if you want Win2K hosting. Check their website for details and recent reviews in this section http://www.webhostingtalk.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=29350 .
