Ave,

I want to host about 10 domains, but i would like to have the option of Unlimited Domains.

Space anywhere between 4 GB to 8 GB.

I've seen quite a bit Hosting company charging $9.99 for such a package. Mher.Org has a good one for $7.99 .... i would like to look at something around the $6 - $7 range if possible.

I am considering MHER.ORG or Gazzin.Com right now... but am open to suggestions.

Thanks,
Mickey

4GB+ of space for under $10 is playing with fire. You will be using a host who is overselling if you go with that sort of package. My recommendation is to increase your budget a bit when looking now and you are more likely to save yourself headaches in the future. With whoever you choose make sure to do a lot of research on them, both here on WHT and on there website.

Ave,

Instead of increasing budget, i might down the space requirement, depending on what i'm offered. But yes, i'll definately do plenty research.

Thanks,
Mickey

I've been taking advantage of tekneeks.net's free trial and so far it's been great. Take their free trial offer in the reseller hosting forum. Probably need to do a seach for tekneek.net to find it. They moved all my sites over without a problem and so far they have been quick to answer my questions. I'll give a full opinion in about a month. HTH.

i think you can search this type of offer in hosting offer forum, there is lots of sites listed to help you, in that forum you get more new options also

Best of Luck finding a host that fits those requirements and is reliable. :) Its like trying to find a small pin which is lost in stretches of sand.

been monitoring turnkeyresellers for a while now and just signed up, my uptime monitors showing them at 100%, and i'm VERY satisifed with their service so far.

do not go for gazzin, my review of them is coming up soon.

TurnkeyResellers along with ZoneServ were very famous at one point of time. But then both of the companies suffered a crushing blow due to massive overselling. So you may want to be careful there.

i'm counting on the fact that they won't make the same mistake twice :)

lol, Chamelion. :) From what I heard the ownership had changed and Robert had left the company. I have no idea about the workings of the new owner. :)

That is cool. :) He is a nice guy. I have talked to him, he seemed very dedicated to his work. :)

BTW: We are leading this way off topic, so back to the topic!

I would up your budget a little bit. Remember you get what you pay for.

Yep. Paying less than $10 for 4GB will only result in you coming back here in a few weeks/months and looking for a new host.

For 4GB, I would be looking to pay around $20 - $25 at least (taking into account necessary bandwidth and resources).

Hi, well a lot has changed. I no longer work for IBM. I am now working directly for Tom Smith who consumed Turnkey Hosting / Turnkey Resellers several months ago. If you want to put a title on myself I am the Senior Technical Staff member or Vice Presedent under Tom Smith CEO.

I agree perhaps raise your budget a bit and then you will notice a huge amount of people who can offer this type of plan!

Is Mickey still following this thread or are we wasting our breaths?

If he isn't, I think a mod might close this thread. :)

http://thetophost.net/ has been real good to me and within your price range. I suggest requesting a custom package. Good Luck!
