Alright, what does everyone think about this. Personally, I think it is a joke. You cannot keep upgrading, upgrading, and upgrading for only $49.95/month. I am not looking for hosting, I am a provider but what do you think of the outrageous things people claim?

what do you think of the outrageous things people claim?Some people do anything for a buck. :(

I've seen worse. In my market I compete daily with unlimited everything for $20 a year :P

It's certainly funny that people actually believe them though. Funny indeed.

Isnt that the truth!?
Really though to the OP: You wonder why we see so many problems nowdays with companies...offers like that surely contribute to all the problems out there :(
I hold it right up there in the same category as we saw years ago on ones that mainly just offered unlimited bandwidth, only now we see that plus unlimted domains on reseller accounts. :emlaugh:

Martie,

Unlimited domains are fine. The reason behind this is you can add unlimited domains technically; however, space and bandwidth are still restricting you. On this plan, you have no restrictions. I could run a $1,000,000.00 a year hosting company off of this plan for $49.95. Far feteched? lol

I've seen less than $10 a year :bawling:

As soon as some gets rich off of $10.00/yr let me know. :)

You can build a profitable business model with recurring payments of $50/mo but it's risky business unless you put some other limitations on it, like limit the amount of disk space and data transfer per website. They do not and think they can pyramid it. Which means their either crazy or think that the plan will be so attractive that they'll get 1000 takers over night.... NOT.

You may not get rish, but there are ways to make a good profit from $10/yr. If you had for example 5000 websites at $10/yr, that would bring in $50,000/yr. A good dedicated server with support will only cost you at most $15,000/yr. So you would be profitable provided you didn't need more than 1 or 2 servers to do it. That means limiting disk space and data transfer, or overselling on the risk that most customers won't use it. Which seems to be the way things work these days.

:eek:

Who in the world would put 5000 domains or web sites on a server....

Why not just place a few more like 10,000 per server... :crying:

Then you can make 100,000.00 :rofl:

Each one of those domains require space even if they aren't using the package. For instance Apache needs its conf file updated with every new domain. Therefore requiring hard drive space ;)

jmweb,

Yes, it might require space; however, they are limited to the number of domains they can setup via each package. You can not set up a million domains on a cPanel package with a 100 mb of spce. The space will restrict the domains.

No such thing as unlimited buddy :D

Criminal#58369,

I am well aware. I have my own server. :)

Sorry there was some confusion there. Your initial posts were about unlimited domains and has since switched to limited domains.

Sadly, there are many companies offering the exact same deal for $19.95.

Example : Enter Ebay and Type Reseller Hosting.
You'll find many companies listed under that search.

I dont know if this affects the competition, many buyers may not trust this type of deal. But then again, who knows.

Meinhosting Also Selling these sort of Cheap hosting in ebay also like some one get these hosting on just 2 to 3 $ pe rmonth and after 15 days or 30 days he suspend your account with out giving you any sort of notification i saw these proples using cheap celeron server with 80Gb hardisk:angry:
and very funny thing is that when he suspend any account he will email you and inform you due to abuse of bandwdith or space 10$ Fined and So pay Fined first and after we will reply your any email this is totally buill**** dont go for any unlimited ressler hosting:(
Thanks

Kamra,

That is very interesting. What is funnny is one of my friends are on his server. Which he likes it so I am nto saying anything to him ab out it; however, I e-mailed support to ask which aatacenter their in and they said that they do not provide any more information then what is on their website.

I made sure to say well if your not going to provide anymore information then you have lost a potential customer. Not that I would ever go with them for anything.

They are using layeredtechnologies.com out of Savvis in Dallas, TX. It did not take much to find it out on my own.

Do not go with a host that hides things as well. If your good you should have no issue saying your out of Savvis. :)

I think some big company like 1and1 should buy one of these "unlimited reseller" accounts and stick all of their customers on it, just to be mean. :emlaugh: Naw, obviously joking, but I would really like to see them keep upgrading once someone is using 5 TB of space, and 600 TB bandwidth. :)

Their TOS is interesting. Can't use too much of the resources, can't have anything on your site that uses resources, etc, etc.

Looks like an overselling thing since you can only have 'normal' webstuff in your account. They do indicate that unlimited is just that, but no streaming, file distribution, etc. If read in a certain light, it can even indicate that too many pictures would be a violation.

Hello,

Alright, How many of you would tell your client which datacenter you are in if they asked? Instead of informnig of the datacenter they said that they would not and closed the ticket. What kind of hosting company is that.

Don't you think that instead of pretending that you are a huge hosting company with a datacenter that you do not own just say you are apart of Savvis and show that you have an excellent partner along with equipment to provide your client the best expeirence possible. Does that not make sense to you? Does anyone disagree? Please, explain to me why disclosing your datacenter is such a huge deal.

I tell everybody who I'm with, because liquidweb is a respectable datacenter. No point in lying to customers or being shady about stuff

I get an unlimted reseller for £10 a month, it really is unlimited too, im giving out laods of space and bandwith and i have had no problems.

Oliver

I had an unlimited reseller account with SiteRollout.com from eBay, but it was only while I was starting up and I didn't expect any problems. After 6 months of paying £9.99/month they found they could get other people on eBay paying £12.99, so they simply deleted my reseller account and all my customers accounts. Looks bad on me when infact it's only my fault for going with a site and not looking for reviews.

I could probably have taken legal action but nevermind, I have a dedicated server from nexpoint.net now and they're great :D

Edit: Oh, and when they finally said why they did it, they said it was because one of my sites were being DDOSed - too bad it wasn't even hosted on their server or I might just have believed them! :emlaugh:

Hi,

Oliver, just be very careful. Just because it hasn't yet and you have been giving out huge amounts does not mean it wont. And, there really is no such thing as unlimited.

Galvanize, hmmm you know I think I actually might believe them on that one. A client who is not even on the server and he's the reason for deletion? Alright, I am convinced shut me down. :)

Anybody else has opinions on why a hosting provider would shy away from who its datacenter is?

Huh? I was hosting all the sites there, except one. The one which wasn't hosted there was on a dedicated server with another provider because of the resource usage.

So I was on the server and they knew very well I was using the server, not only for me but my clients as well. The site hosted somewhere else had a link to my reseller site which is the only way they could have associated the other site with my reseller account. If a site is hosted on another server, it does not cause a DDOS attack on a server which it has nothing to do with.

When a site tries to resell servers from LT and offer "unlimited" reseller accounts, you would at least expect them to know how to find where a site is hosted. :rolleyes:

Galvanize,

The last post was being sarcastic. Yes, you would think that they could; however, in the world today you would think there wouldn't be so many stupid people. Driving in Michigan proves that there still are. :)

Does anyone else have opinions on why you would hide your name?

Anybody else has opinions on why a hosting provider would shy away from who its datacenter is?I don't know why one would do so, but if we allow resellers to shy away from making their provider known to their customers, we can extend that to other hosts as well. If they don't want to, they don't have to share that info. No one stops us from doing our own investigations though. :)

This is how they do it....

Meinhosting.com are scammers

They just did it to me...

I bought the reseller account from them, I got about 50 accounts under me, then they suspend my account along with everyone under me.

They charge me $20GBP to get me files, I pay, and they then request another $20GBP, I pay again because I'm getting emails and phone calls from pissed off clients. I get no response after the second $20

Then I find out they sent an email to all my clients requesting $10GBP for their files.

I still have not gained access to get my files...I never hacked anything.

So F'n pissed!

. . . Then I find out they sent an email to all my clients requesting $10GBP for their files
Wow, if that's true, that's a low act. :eek3:

maybe we should move our servers to them .. that should help us cut down costs :P

Unlimited dont exist, it has to end at some point. they will prob just go bust.

Rather old thread. I'd better just close it.
