View Full Version : Please help me choose a reseller

I am looking for a reseller package which is fixed price where I can add as many domains and accounts as suits me.

So far I have found:

MCHOST $35 per month
Splash Host $30 per month

Are there any others that I should consider?

MCHOST seem to have an active forum, several staff, 24/7 coverage and a loyal following, but I can't tell how big an operation Splash is.

Any info on Splash? Would the $5 saving be false economy?

I am not planning to sell on hosting but simply host a number of charity and community sites, i.e. non-profit, and this seems the best way to go, rather than sign up for several $10/month shared hosting packages. Do you agree?

Are there any non-profit friendly outfits around?

Hello!

I am currently looking at MCHost. It seems to be great!!! I want to buy from them, too. I am not sure...

I can vouch for MChost, if you think the forums you see are active you should see the locked reseller-only areas!

Since you are not reselling hosting packages then a full blown hosting package might be not suitable for you.

Assuming your sites do not use much diskspace/bandwith then you would be better off with a multi-web hosting account or a custom reselling package.

If you ask hosts nicely then most will be inclined to set up a custom reslling package for you with smaller diskspace/bandwith than what are advertised on their website.

Thanks for your reply.

Can you clarify what you mean by multi-web hosting account?

I have been using shared hosting accounts with subsequent domain names pointing to the main or subdirectory, but the e-mail side does not work so well - e-mails to the subsequent domains just go to the catch-all of the first.
