Ive looked on here and other places and I guess Im tired of looking. Ive signed up with one company, but I have yet to hear a response (been about 15 hours).

So the way I see it, is if you reply to this tonight yet, your still working :-) So you can set me up instantly:-) Anyways, Im looking for Reseller Hosting. 25 or more accounts, 2gb+ on disk space, 40gb+ on traffic, unlimited emails per account, unlimited mysql databases per account, name servers I really dont care about, but having personalized ones, thats okay with me. cPanel and WHT required.

Any responses with Unlimited or UnMetered disk space, domains, accounts and traffic, should mean exactly that with no hidden fine print to it.

Im flexible on pricing, but with my wages, cheaper can hold some power.

Thank you
Josh

Hi Josh - not sure it is possible to offer anything unlimited without fine print - which is exactly why we dont offer any unlimited resources :)

You really shouldn't put too much consideration on price. When you do that you can overlook excellent companies and get yourself a lemon.

Always contact companies and ask any questions or concerns ahead of time. This gives you a chance to see how fast they respond and also how professional they are. Alot of your smaller hosts are more willing to work with you on price and resources and even provide you with a custom plan that fits your needs and budget. Good luck with your search :)

my recommendation? try site5. No such thing as unlimited or unmetered.

Any responses with Unlimited or UnMetered disk space, domains, accounts and traffic, should mean exactly that with no hidden fine print to it. 1. Hosts may not make offers here.
2. Reseller accounts with unmetered disk space and/or data transfer can only spell trouble. ;)

Give them at least 24 hours for account setup. Sometimes, these things do take a while longer.

Find me an unlimited hard disk and I'll offer you the plan :-).

They're out there alright. Basically how they work is when the /home is full, the drive starts 'data stripping', starting from the oldest data in that partition, so as to free up more space. This is far from perfect, and can cause some issues, but it's nothing a good unlimited host can't handle. :buck:

By the way, to the OP, if you want to request hosting you can goto a forum such as www.hosthideout.com. But, I'd suggest you take recommendations from members here which is better :-).

www.resellerzoom.com >> they tend to get nice reviews around here and are good for people on a tight budget.

HTH

Bob,

You and your "cute" posts :stickout:

Yes ive heard www.resellerzoom.com was pretty good i would try them. I used them awhile back for a 2 months didnt have any problems.

ResellerZoom is great.

I've opened atleast 14 support tickets for minor questions, help, etc.

They've always gone out of their way to answer my ticket within 45 minutes, they help me when they can..

One tech even did minor installation work, which would normally cost money.

Their support staff are the most absolutely friendly people I've had the pleasure of being helped by.

I am with HostGator and they are great and reasonable. They set my account up in 15 minutes. They also have great customer service. It's worth checking them out.

You will hear this a lot with hosting... you get what you pay for. A $4.99 per month account is dangerous. How could a host offer 24/7 support, pay for servers, and employees on a $4.99 a month account? They would have to sell alot of those accounts.... which would mean they are overselling the server.

Test a hosts tech support first... call em at 2am, 8pm, 4pm, ect... see if anyone answers and how fast the response is.

What network will you use? Tier-1, tier-2, ect. For some hosting Cogent and Savvis are ok, while other customers might demand a tier-1 network.

Just some things to think about. Good Luck

You want to know how?

Check HostingZoom's Prices. THERE YOU GO.

As far as I can tell, they don't load the servers up any more than any other normal host would.

So, no. They don't oversell the server.

For another thing, Most hosts have Business hours for their phone-line. So telling someone to call, if it's clearly marked that they have no phone support at that time in the morning, is just rediculous.

You can't gauge by phone support in that scenario.

Which Email or their knowledge base should be used.

I would recommend trying the Host Quote feature here on WHT,

as for ResellerZoom, im glad they're working out for you ScreamingEaglePC :)

Excellent point

Can you define "normal" host for me...

:emlaugh: A Hosting company with the customer-base ResellerZoom/HostingZoom have, with the ticket-response-time of under 45 minutes, friendly staff, etc.

I guess I shouldn't have used the term "normal host" so loosely. :(

But you know what I mean. :P

They have good server balancing and management skills.

They have good server balancing and management skills.It looks to me that it would be safer to simply state that you noticed no sign of server overloading with RZ/HZ. But then someone might think about asking how you define overloading...

You would then state that the load was never above say 2.

But server load is not always and accurate measure of how the server performs.

In which case you could just say that you noticed no slowness or performance problems. Then the question would be how you measured speed and performance, and what type of site you've been testing. Was it simple HTML based or was it a heavy forum? The questions never end. :)

Conclusion: You simply find that RZ/HZ fits your needs. :)

With regards to server load, a server with 1 cpu say a athlon xp, you may experiance slow down at aload of 10, but a dual Opteron or xeon, a load of 10 would be fine. And not overloading servers is especailly something to look out for, know a company with one server dual Opteron 2 gig of ram and 2 x 200gb harddrives, and have over 600 sites hosted, you cant just decide how many sites is correct to put on a server, you have to view the server resources, its possible for one site which is heavily DB running with thousands of users to max out an average system
