I just did a search in the forums and found good posts about webreseller.net. I also called them today and one CSR told me that by tonight midnight they're going to offer new promo's! So for those of you who are customers of webreseller.net. Can you give me feedback on how reliable they are? Also they're prices seem very competitive, are there any other ded hosting sites out there that can beat them? Thanks

Feel like I just said this :)

Nice people, Good Support and good uptime

I have been with webreseller for about a month, there quality of service is excellent. There prices are unbeatable. I chose them over rackshack because Rob the ceo was very quick and personal in handling my account. They are also using yipes as there bandwidth provider and yipes is connected to level3's backbone and in my opinion you cannot beat level3. I have 3 almost full cabinets in 2 different Level3 centers, and i have had 0 problems with them. This means for webreseller they have a pretty much 100% guaranteed network connection. You may be wondering why i am leasing a server with webreseller if i have access to cabinets at level3? Well for one it is for personal use and i will not mix up my personal servers with business, and two the price for the P4 1.6ghz was so cheap i could not resist. I recommend webreseller to all.

Good luck!

Thanks,

Well I have now been with Webreseller.net for a little over a week, and I must say that my experience thus far has been nothing short of fantastic. Rob, Jonathan, and the rest of the team has really taken care of us. We actually needed a custom configuration with regards to the server and every question that I had was answered professionally and quickly. The server was online before the quoted time, so needless to say I was very happy about it. We had to tweak some settings and the faster we got it the faster we could alter it to suit our needs. In terms of their network, I tested it for over a week before I decided to get the server and their ping times were more than impressive 99% of the time faster than any of the other hosts that I was deciding between. As ecomdevel stated in his post, their network is based off of Yipes which is an awesome provider as they are connected to Level3's backbone. Personally and I'm sure many others will agree that one of the best characteristics of a hosting provider can have is that of an open line of communication between them and their clients. I just received an e-mail about a router upgrade which will take place on the 28th of this month. Now I can inform my clients about this with ample time to answer any questions that they may have regarding this. So webreseller gets my recommendation 100%

Hope this helps
Steven

24 IP's (ARIN Guidlines)
36 GIG SCSI Hard Drive
512 MB ECC SDRAM memory

BARF!!! If I had more money coming in from webhosting and eBay, I'd definitely go for this. AAAAAAHHHHHH!!!
:eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:

Which one do you think is faster and more reliable between the webreseller deals:
IBM X-Series 300 PIII 1.13 - 512 MB RAM
Pentium 4 1.6 GHz - 512 MB DDR RAM

I personally think the P4 should definitely beat the IBM in terms of speed, but whether is it more reliable (considering its heat), I don't know. Any thoughts?

Go with the P4. I've had no problems with them yet.

I have good experience with them, joined them for 2 weeks so far, they can always give you reply within 12 hours, and haven't got any downtime yet. I think the only concern that you should note is if you upgrade the HDD and Ram or get more IPs, you need to pay a little setup fee plus monthly fee, they don't offer one time fee at this moment. For Ensim upgrade, you need to pay a nominal fee.

I've tried eXscape, Tera-byte, Lightone and Webreseller, and Webreseller is among the high service level group.

I've also joined them 2 weeks ago. Till now they're great. Very very helpfull and very friendly too. They're almost always answering my emails within an hour.

And of course their prices are great :D

So far....they have been great....their support has answered all my questions....even the ones....they really don't have to. :)

The PIII 1.13 will be faster than the P4 1.6.

P4 cpus have less cache than PIII's.. PIII's are optimized for internet use.

We've been building P4 1.6's for our dedicated servers we're renting only because they are actually cheaper to build than PIII 1.13's. PIII 1 gig cpus are hard to find from reliable sources in quantity..... so thus the reason webreseller is using 1.13 as well.

The P4 is going to be a stable server.. but if u have a choice.. get the PIII 1.13.

From what I'm hearing the PIII looks like the better choice.....not that the P4 package isn't real nice one.

Packages are going fast there aren't many left.....so its time to decide if WebResellers' packages are for you. :)

rastoma, are u sure about that? Their P4 1.6 Ghz is using DDR RAM and latest Intel D845PT motherboard while the IBM P3 1.13 still uses SDRAM.

And as far as I know P3 1 Ghz has 256 KB cache, (not sure about P3 1.13 though). So how can you say that P4 cpus have less cache than PIII's?

ALS, where did you hear that P3 looks like the better choice? ;)

I'm wondering if the IBM X-Series 300 support dual processor? I've asked webreseller about it but still got no reply yet :(

Sent PM, the 300 Series does not support Dual Processors, however, they do support SCSI drives..

The P4 works for me......no troubles so far....with speed or so on.

Its just not a name plate server.......I heard from different folks and from postings on these forums and other forums as well.

I like the P4 package......thats why I have it.

twrs I don't any of the special packages support dual processors
for their servers.

Ok twrs webreseller answered himself......about dual processors.....I din't think they did.

Whichever package to pick.....both are real good.....the P4 I have and its fast or has been.....since its setup for me. :)

Others have said the P3 IBM is faster......I can't say that they are or aren't.....never been one that was full dedicated.

Again both packages are great plans.....I'm sure you won't be unhappy with either if and when you pick one and move in.

I'm really happy with mine. :)

They are also using yipes as there bandwidth provider and yipes is connected to level3's backbone and in my opinion you cannot beat level3.

So to get this straight, they are not using Cogent for their 500 GBs BW deal? They are using Yipes!?

Nope, I didn't get your pm at all. Could you please reply my last pm now?

We use Yipes, no Cogent...

Just talked with Rob on the phone, seems like a nice, professional, intelligent individual. If your looking for a rackshack alternative, i would recommend webreseller to you. Of course this isnt based on any experience with their service but simply the image rob portrayed.

Have a great day.

Yes, cbaker17 that goes a long way and Rob is one of the reasons I'm with WebReseller. :)

Okay, I can't wait it anymore so I just ordered the P4 server. Webreseller, please check your pm as I need a custom configuration with Plesk 2.5 installed. I do have the Plesk license.

Let's see how fast you could setup this server... :D

Ok twrs let us know if they do set you up today....because its getting to the end of the work day......well....for everyone but webreseller.

I thought I heard that Yipes was going belly-up? That was my reason for choosing Rackshack over Webreseller for our servers. Is this a true concern, or just a rumor?

Yipes is in Chapter 11 bankruptcy which is a version which allows for additional in debtor financing while the company restructures. Rumor is they will either get additional VC's or sell the company outright or parts of the company outright. They have a number of high profile customers, so i see them being snatched up by a tier 1 provider. But with bankruptcy you never know, providers utilizing Yipes should in my opinion be BGP routed with another provider. In case Yipes does go out of business completely, although this is not likely.

Wasn't that awhile back? There has been no trouble since I've using them.

Yipes is ok, if you look at all the facts as follows:

Their network is:
- Fast
- Reliable beyond expectations
- Support is exceptional

It is very true that they did declare voluntary bankruptcy, however, there were certain issues surrounding that gave them security for their customers. The market we are in is a huge Market for yipes and will remain owned by Yipes. Rumor has it that, yes, they may sell of some of their cities as "franchises", this will alleviate the overhead while still offering peek performance and speed.

I'm sure everyone is aware that there are other providers that may be declaring voluntary bankruptcy, however, you need to know there model and why they did it prior to deciding to "jump ship".

We are very confident with Yipes and believe they will pull through this and be even stronger then they are now.

I called WebReseller (William Loe) about getting my server online, they said they were burning it in, which I'm totally cool with.

I was just wondering can I have it before the weekend!! (Game servers, great time to get exposure!)

Thanks!

PLEASE :)

Ok....your brothers.....thats not fair do you have a direct line to him? :)

We're brothers?

If webreseller's name is William Loe and your site is http://www.andrewloe.com/

and your name is Andrew Loe ...then the same last name.....but I was really kidding you. :)

no I am william loe (offically, on creditcards go by andrew though)

Ok....so your not brothers...... :)

This thread's been going way out of topic :D

We always burn in all systems, sent ya a PM Snoozy

webreseller - do you have an ETA on Plesk? I need a server immediately but need Plesk.

Yes, Im with Eyesee. We need a server but want plesk. I have emailed and pm you webreseller quite a while back, but no reply. If you have any news on plesk, please post or pm me.

Thanks

The CEO & COO of Plesk are coming here next week and very shortly after that we will be rolling out a Plesk special. This special will be a limited number of servers with a lower setup fee for plesk.

I'd have to know alittle more about Plesk and if its really better then Ensim.

I never used it before.....but like their demo.

Yes, Plesk is much better than Ensim in terms of stability and flexibility. It may not have the fancy GUI like Ensim, but it includes better packages than Ensim, like the IMP Webmail (which is better than Squiremail in Ensim), qmail (which is better than Sendmail in Ensim), and newer versions of Apache, PHP, and some other packages.

I've found the Plesk forum to be very helpful as well to help me getting used to Plesk quickly.

twrs, your comment made me want to try Plesk in my Webreseller server also! However, is Plesk more flexible in installing Perl Modules, aliased DNS servers for resellers etc. advanced tasks?

Cool.....thanx for the info twrs....I never used it.....only played with their demo....some.....I liked it and the features it had.

Maybe I(WE)can pin webreseller down for a setup price on it before hand. :)

Yes, I think Plesk is more flexible in installing Perl modules, aliased DNS servers for resellers, and a few other tasks, cause it allows you access to the low level, unlike Ensim which doesn't allow you to screw up anything in its configuration.

I've never done the advanced tasks like you said, but the Plesk forum is the place to go should you need help. Not to mention you could also get helps from the tech geeks on WHT's Technical forum :D

twrs, sounds Plesk wins over Ensim in our case! :) However, do you think there is something Ensim better than Plesk???

Yeah, Ensim's user interface looks nicer than Plesk. If I look at Ensim's GUI, it reminds me of CobaltRaQ GUI which is very easy to use.

Someone grab webreseller and see what the fee will be to upgrade to Plesk.....next week.

Since you said you're just a few minutes away from them, why don't you knock their door and ask it yourself??? :D

I would .... but my wheels are someone else's hands at the present...... :)

We will know all setup fees for plesk in the next week or so... We are havin a final meeting with Plesk next Tuesday...

Cool.......if its better then Ensim I'm all for it.......from what I can see using their demo and from what i have heard its alot better.

Anything that makes my life alittle easier I'm for......... :)
