I am looking for a windows reselling host whose prices are decent (not the lowest) and whose reputation is rock solid i.e an experienced windows host whose support is prompt and extremely impressive.

In other words... I am looking for the "HTTPme of Windows Reselling"!

Any suggestions on who in your opinion is the "HTTPme of Windows Reselling"? Please give a brief explanation why your suggested windows host is the "HTTPme of Windows Reselling"?

Have a look at www.hostnexus.com / www.resellernexus.com. They have a large community just like HttpMe. Check it out at www.nexusportal.net

Hi Elix,

After doing a little searching, though HostNexus may be technically good at what they do, I don't think they deserve the title of being the "HTTPme of Windows Reselling" because they seem to have pissed off quite a number of members in this forum.

I am seeking the opinions of the gurus like you in this forum because I want to host with a great hosting company who is very similar to HTTPme in server management, customer attitudes, reputation, etc. but offers Windows unlike HTTPme.

What I personally sense about HTTPme is that their support attitude is to prevent problems from occuring in the first place. And if and when problems do occur, then they rectify the problem promptly in an appropriate manner followed with proper communication. They do slip up occasionally, but the occasions are rare.

Had HTTPme offered Windows, I wouldn't have even bothered to make this post. Price is not the main issue for me. I am searching for one of the few really good Windows host that I can partner with.

You will have a few "pissed off" customers when you reach the 1000+ mark. It's not easy to keep everyone happy, and keep in mind theirs probably people displeased with httpme but they either don't know about this place or neglect to post here.

Correctly said, coight! Every medium sized to large sized company will have their ratio of "pissed off" customers. Its just that the good companies of these have a much smaller ratio than the not so good ones.

BTW, your company is one of the better ones in my opinion, so I am sure you understand what I mean when I say what I say! :D

Who, in your personal opinion, is the "HTTPme of Windows Reselling"? Opinions of industry leaders like you will really help me make a good choice.

You may want to consider http://www.hostway.com. Netcraft ranked Hostway the most reliable Web hosting site recently.

In that case, why not check out www.jodohost.com.

Cheers,

Hi again, Elix!

I am having a look at their site just now. Will do a search on WHT subsequently. Thanks a lot for suggesting jodohost. Please refer me to a few more great ones if you can think of any.

I can't comment on any hosts I have not used officer. Other hosts give opinions but I don't want you to come back three months later upset at a suggestion I gave :)

Hello again Coight,

I tried to PM you but your mailbox is full.

Thanks so much for taking the time out to reply to my thread. You mentioned "I don't want you to come back three months later upset at a suggestion I gave" which I can totally understand. But it is the opinions & suggestions of extremely successful hosts like you that I really need.

Successful people like you and some of the other gurus here have the intelligence & insight to ignore crap when you see or hear it. Even though you may not have directly used a great windows host, you are able to recognize who is good or bad simply from the little snippets you hear/read in this forum.

I am acutely aware no host is perfect for anybody. What I am looking for is for a great Windows host who has built up a reputation for running an operation as efficently as HTTPme or Myacen.

Hence, I would really be grateful if I received one or more suggestions from you. You've been around the forum for eons, so I will be valuing your suggestions greatly.

Thanks.

People are suggesting hosts they obviously haven't used and are not giving reasons why "their" suggested host is up there, apart from what they have observed.

Try www.fluidhosting.com for windows web hosting.

I have used them for 2 1/2 years for all my business web sites.

If you want to see a 500+ page Frontpage web site running at Fluid Hosting on a multi domain windows account try www.chicagojobresource.com

Few minor isssues and great uptime.

There's been some folks displeased with httpme (even when I owned httpme). There's been some of those threads on WHT, but they have been few and far between. I take pride in the main reason for that was fast communication with clients with server issues etc, and the proper resolving of issues privately, before they blow up on a public forum.

If an issue makes it out_in_the_open, on a forum, then I would have considered that, in most instances, a failure on my part, in not containing or successfully resolving that issue. Sure, you can't please everyone, but we gave it a damn good shot. :)

officer, best wishes in your search for a good windows reseller. Thank you for your very kind words. :)

officer, I am not sure about other, but had tried cyberservers.net. Their services are good enough for me :) 24/7 supporting staff, even slow sometimes, but they do answer. stable servers. last time I was with them, they moved to The Planet DC. You can check with them about this. The reason I have left is: upgrading to our own windows server :) if you are still looking for a windows reseller account, visit their website at www.cybersevers.net

Oopsies @ gate2vn :-P.

Bad link there.

Cheers,

check your internet connection pls :) I can access site without any problem :)

ok guys... after a little personal research on wht... here are the results (in alphabetical order) of the companies I am inclined towards for purchasing a Windows Reseller account:

www.cartikahosting.com
www.diyhosting.com
www.jodohost.com

Any opinions/comments when it comes to a comparision only between these three hosts? Could there be other Windows Reselling hosts out there that match the performance/reputation of these three?

I don't understand the difference between hostnexus and resellernexus. Resellernexus doesn't seem to have windows plans, but hostnexus does. But, if this is the same company why having reseller plans on hostnexus and not using resellernexus directly?
Anyone care to explain?

Also, Fluid Hosting doesn't seem to have reseller packages. Why do always people have to put some noise on this threads?

officer, I'm currently on the trial account for JodoHost. I'm almost buying from them but I found out some problems with transfer speed from some locations in the US and outside US. I think they give great value at a great price. They are cheaper than the other two you name, and they seem respectable and reliable these days. Besides, I like how they communicate around here better than DIY.

I'd also considered going with serverdivision.com but they don't have much history yet, and I'm now more convinced to get an H-Sphere account.

If you care to help me test the download speed of Jodo's servers from your location, please PM me.

eehost...

what was the nature of the problem exactly that you mention above?

have you ever been with the other two or tested them in any way before i.e. either technically or sales/support-wise?

I too am getting convinced about getting an H-sphere account. It seems cartika and diy offer a high featured/automated HS Control Panel with a lot of integration. Does Jodo (in your opinion) have an equally high-featured/automated HS Control Panel also?

Have PM'd yo regarding testing Jodo's servers from my location.

Problem is slow speed compared to what you supposedly should get from some locations around the US and outside US.

I haven't tryed any of the other two. They also have a good reputation around here but their prices are higher. I like Cartika's attitude better, but I can only speak for what I've seen publicy around these forums and the Internet though.

I think Jodo have the same high-featured H-Sphere CP or even better. But I think I haven't compared them on a 1 to 1 basis. I could help you do so if you want. They do offer a trial week on their shared plans that I'm currently taking advantage of to test them. I don't know if DIY or Cartika have a simmilar offer.

I'll get to your PM in a minute.

I am inclined towards for purchasing a Windows Reseller account:

www.cartikahosting.com
www.diyhosting.com
www.jodohost.com

Hello officer and thank you for your consideration. I dont think you can go wrong with any of the hosts you have listed :)

They do offer a trial week on their shared plans that I'm currently taking advantage of to test them. I don't know if DIY or Cartika have a simmilar offer.

Unfortunaltely, we do not offer a free trial program - however, we do offer a no questions asked 30 money back guarantee in its place. Not something very many people have ever taken us up on, but, the program is in place and will be honored if anyone changed their mind, for whatever reason.

Thanks and best of luck in your search...

Was it something I said? :blush:

I was always under the assumption that I was a direct, and honest poster on WHT. Maybe that's the problem. Who knows.

Anyway, good luck with your search.

Anyone care to explain? HostNexus offers Plesk, which supports Linux and Windows. ResellerNexus offers cPanel which only supports Linux.

Simon, it's only an impression I've gathered by navigating the forums for almost 2 months now. It has more to do with the way you say things that the things you actually say.

I do believe that your are a direct, and honest poster on WHT. And that's no problem at all.

Anyway, don't take it to hard on me, I might end up being your customer one day. Besides, it's just a personal feeling.

Thanks DanX for the clarification. I assume many people could be confused like me if they don't pay enough attention. That's probably bad for Nexus, but who knows.

eehost & officer,

Firstly, the bandwidth issue eehost is talking about has not been reported to us by any other customer and nor have I experience the issue myself. eehost I investigated your issue, infact we have an unused server in another datacenter in san francisco. I was getting a download speed of about 1MBPS + from it. The only bottleneck here was the network card of 10mbps (which is 10/8 MBPS)

I suggest you post this on our forum and ask if other customers are experience this bandwidth issue of your's. I am quite sure you are not getting full bandwidth (you say 30KBPS) due to some bottleneck at the ISP end or some bottleneck on the way..

We are using premium tier-1 providers such as InterNap and Limelight which delivers our bandwidth. Limelight serves bandwidth to media giants while Internap is known for its excellent reliability. Infact we plan to further extend connectivity with the Nap of Americas in September..

As far as our service or control panel being low-end, I am not sure where you got that from :) We do offer quality support and features on our reseller plans, and I'm sure our resellers would testify.

eehost

<<<Also, Fluid Hosting doesn't seem to have reseller packages.

Just to set the record straight...

Fluid Hosting does indeed have reseller pkgs avaiable. I suggest you use their forum for additional information.

Reseller package setup time varies. Our billing department is open Monday - Friday, 8AM - 5PM ET. However, accounts do sometimes get activated outside of those hours.

Hello,

I advise you to join serverdivision.com

They have the best offer i'v seen

I'm their customer for about 8 months

Hey eeHost, I'm keen to test speeds on JodoHost, as i'm seriously considering them for all my customers' hosting needs.

i'm in Australia, on a 4.8mbps dsl connection. very interested to see how well it performs.. has it been tested from australia before?

please pm me (or even better email me) details of the test.. i tried to PM but it wouldn't let me... maybe not authorised yet or something. :(

I would stay away from hostnexus.

I had signed up for an reseller account with them for a few months ago. They are having a major server issue right now where one of their MSSQL servers has been down almost 3 days and they are still unable to fix the issue. On their home page they are saying they do daily backups but as far I understand from many of the users, Hostnexus had been restoring from a backup which is almost one month old.

The resellers have received very little information about what is going on, so the communication is not so great either.

After this issue I can not say Hostnexus is a reliable host. I'm glad I just were in a testing stage with my account at hostnexus, I did not actually start creating user accounts, I'm so glad for that. :-)
