Hello all!

I am looking for a reseller host that has good reseller’s plans with Cpanel/WHM. Also I would need the hosting company to allow me to upgrade to a dedicated server later in time, and the dedicated server must be of a good price with 99...% uptime. Also, if possible I would like the host to have Cpanel/WHM on the server as well, and if the server could be managed that would be even better. If you have any recommendations please let me know, thanks!

I understand you are looking for a quality hosting company with outstanding uptime? There are many good companies represented at WHT, and I would encourage you to adopt the approach where you compile a short list.

As people for opionions about those companies on your short list (also use the search function).

Once you are happy, contact each company in turn, so that you can gauge their response time, the tone of their response etc.

In anyevent you shouldn't have any difficulty finding a company here.
Cheers
Jeff

Thread cleaned, let's stick to making recommendations.

As Jeff suggested look around WHT and make a list of resellers you are interested in. You can search for reviews and then post for follow comments.

Good advice ideologicjeff.  Once you have a  list of about 5-10, give them each a call in the middle of the night or on a weekend.  You will be able to trim your list down to just a few very quickly after that.  Since you are wanting to eventually move to a dedicated server, them answering the phone during off hours is of the utmost importance.  24/7 support is a must no matter where you choose.  You probabaly want to look for a company that has its own data center as well.  Once you have a dedicated server with them, you will not want to have to wait for 2 companies to contact each other to get your machine rebooted.  You can find if they have their own data center by doing a whois and taking those ips to Arin.net.  Arin will let you know if they are using ips of someone else.  Good Luck!!
