Hello,

I have quit a few small sites (average 50 pages/site). Untill now they are hosted on different accounts.
I heard about reseller accounts last week and it seems like a good solution to host my sites.

Now I just had a look at Hostgator and they offer shared hosting with unlimited domain names, which I think means I can host my sites under one account.

Do you think this is a good option, or is it better to take a reseller account?
What is best from a SEO point of view?

Does anyone have recent experience with hostingzoom? Why are the packages on resellerzoom so much cheaper (it's the same company, no?).

Warm regards,

Dirk.

SEO shouldn't matter at all what the control panel you are using.

I would imagine resellerzoom is overselling a fair bit. But maybe ask them why they are so cheap.

I would suggest doing a search here on WHT for the companies you are looking at.

As well as reseller hosting you could lookup multi-domain hosting which is very much similiar but without things like custom nameservers usually.

Good luck in your search.

I would recommend you getting a reseller account, so you can have unlimited control panels, versus just having unlimited addon domains, their is a big difference.

You will want your clients to have thier own control panel, so reselling is the only way to go.

I would have to agree with eleven2 on this one. Also it is a lot more organized to get a reseller account.

ResellerZoom is cheap because you don't get much server resources. I was hosting there and had problems to keep my blog up. They told me Fantastico scripts are poorly written and it was using too much resources causing 500 Internal Server Errors. If you have pages using PHP and you are not an excellent programmer you should think twice before signing up with ResellerZoom.

Resellerzoom is much cheaper than hostingzoom because you don't get alot of add-ons like end user support, billing software etc.

Go for the reseller account, we've got people on shared plans with 30 domains under the one CP, that can't be easy to manage.

Reseller system is much more organised, plus you can give other people access to their webspace/control panel with their own username and password.

Thanks guys.

A reseller account it is then.
