I have been reading all the messages on this form for a long time now and I must say it is one of the best so far.
We are planning to start as resellers now after looking into all the ups and downs of web hosting.( for a year aready !)
We have narrowed it down to 3
which are;.

mchost.com
Splashhost.com
and Blueboxinternet.com

The last one gives very little space and users but as we first want to see where this goes we don't need much, BUT then I don't think it will be very much in the long run. They are very cheap, but then here again I live by the motto you get what you pay for and mayby this is too cheap.?
Can I get any opinions on these three? Any hidden info I should know before signing up?

I checked the bbb but as they are Engish based I couldn't find any info.
Is there a bbb in England as well?
Yes as you can see I am a carefull who I do bussiness with.
When I start I want it to last and not go down in a year.
any one from the three are welcome to send me an e mail about their company as well.
thanks for any info

Currently using SplashHost,

If you are a newbie Alan provides excellent support via icq or live help and gives you suggestions and good ideas.

But they dont offer an uptime guarantee, and some problems recently have kept them down for very very short periods of time like less hat 5 mins or so at times.

Im jus pick up on little outages like that (Its Just me)

For a start up reseller i suggest Splashhost, keeping in mind i have not used any others (In the above list), and have been with splash for less that 15 days, you know what they say, first impressions really last!

Good Luck,

well I dont think you will go wrong with either of the first two in your list........I dont know anything about bluebox, but their plans do not look as good as splashhost or mchost

Blueboxinternet they are extremely good great support, uptime and speed :)

have you taken a look at datahosts.net (my current provider) They are verry good as well. They offer just about the same as splashhost and mchost and I have nothing bad to say about datahosts their uptime is great, speed is verry fast ;) and their support team are extremely helpfull.
