View Full Version : help me choose a good reseller program
gregorym 03-03-2006, 09:43 PM HI,
I would love to start reselling hosting services - But I don't want to sell crap :) of course.
So far I found hostgator (which i am happy with as a customer) reselling program having limits but I am not sure about how much to get what bandwidth and storage though.
i would like to have some feedback on reseller programs from GOOD hosting companies which offer a good amount of bandwidth, storage and have a serious 99.9 uptime guarantee and ....well a good hosting :)
Please help me choose one !
ayksolutions 03-03-2006, 10:18 PM Well, as with everything else, the more money you are willing to spend, the better the service you are going to get. Also, keep in mind that if the plan is bigger, does not mean its better as you will not be able to use a lot of that space right away in any case. It's always better to start small and then upgrade. Choose a host you can grow with and perhaps in the future even get a dedicated server.
gate2vn 03-03-2006, 11:36 PM take a look at what you are using now. It will give you an idea. We have many resellers start with lowest packages, then upgrade to higher packages, when needed. If you are happy with HG right now, you should stay with them. Switching host may bring a risk, even still there are many other good host out there :)
RackFleet 03-03-2006, 11:43 PM Agreed with the others. If you have clients lined up, it may be wise to go to a higher plan, just to have some peace of mind. Most of the time though, you should be fine by getting the minimal plan.

Crawl before you walk. If you feel more comfortable starting with the smallest package that is perfectly fine. Always remember that you can upgrade at anytime. You don't want to start with more then you can handle, this way will also help with overhead costs.

gregorym 03-27-2006, 06:39 PM Thanks for your advices guys.
The more I see business coming the more I believe that I can't avoid becoming reseller.
I am still shopping around for the best service with a sufficient bandwidth/storage.
If any of you knows of an 'outstanding' reseller program, please let me know :)
CyberHostPro 03-27-2006, 07:05 PM My friend use to use Hostgator reseller services, he said they were ok. He has moved to another provider now for various reasons. But if you like Linux & Host gator, then maybe stay with them :)
HostTitan 03-27-2006, 08:53 PM There are a lot of great options out there, and the right one depends on a combination of factors depending upon your budget and specific needs.
My suggestion would be to test out the support of each reseller. And, on top of that, often times they offer a money-back guarantee so there's nothing to lose if you wanted to try out multiple ones and stick with the best. Finally, ask questions about their network. Do they own their equipment? Do they staff on-site? Asking just a few questions will give you a good feel for whether or not moving forward with that company is approrpiate.
gregorym 03-27-2006, 08:59 PM There is one thing I noticed, it's that it is difficult to find a reseller plan which offers multilanguage cpanel (or any control panel) for my customers.
I basically would need the reseller plan to be able to handle:
- customer control panel allows: multiple class c IP's (so I can set domains on specific IP is I want to)
- customer control panel allows: multilanguage: so foreign customers don't get lost, the minimum would be in addition of english: german, dutch, french, spanish.
Am I dreaming on, or can I find that ? :)
