I am miserable with my re-seller right now. Their has been about 3 hours of downtime per day on average the past two weeks. I've already lost a customer and countless other future sales due to my site being down.

I need a new re-seller FAST that has comparable features to my existing reseller, but without downtime.

This is what I am currently getting:
Disk Space 1GB
Data Transfer 14GB
Domains Unlimited
Monthly Fee $35
WebHostManager Control panel (for me to create, modify & delete accounts)
CPanel 4
Host UNLIMITED Domains
* Personalized Nameservers
* 99% Uptime Guarantee (this is what they promised, but have not delivered)
* Access to WebHostManager
* CPanel Control Panel (for each account set-up)
* High-Speed Servers (again - Ha!)
* Unlimited POP3 Accounts
* Unlimited Auto Responders
* Unlimited Forwarders
* Unlimited Mailing Lists
* Remote Access to WebMail
* Unlimited Mail Blockers
* Unlimited Private POP Servers
* Unlimited FTP Accounts
* Anonymous FTP for all Accounts
* FrontPage Server Extensions
* Red Hat Interchange Shopping Cart
* Secure Shell (SSH)
* Server Side Includes
* Web Based File Manager
* Private Secure SSL
* PHP 4.1.2
* Macromedia Shockwave
* Macromedia Flash
* Perl Version: 5.x
* CGI, TCL
* Unlimited Subdomains
* Unlimited Domain Pointers
* Unlimited MySQL Databases
* Online Database Management
* Private CGI-Bin
* Password Protection
* PhpMyAdmin Access

I am looking for something comparable in cost and services. I don't want to tell my existing clients that they will now no longer be getting a certain feature that they were told that they would have. I also can't afford to pay an arm and a leg with the small (and dwindling) client base I have.

I'd like to also gave ChiliSoft!ASP, but that would just be a bonus.

I've read on WHT before that some hosts have some sort of bandwidth agreements where bandwidth is unlimited... that would be a mind-blowing bonus. :)

My current hosting provider has a vBulletin forum like this one where customers can chat, etc... but recently they've been censoring posts regarding the recent downtime. I would like to go to a new provider that knows how to professionally handle these situations by fixing them immediately instead of non-stop excuses.

I know I will undoubtedly get e-mail from Re-Sellers offering their wares - which is fine, but I'd much rather hear from actual customers who do not have a financial interest in the company give honest answers about their experiences (good and bad) with comparable providers.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Thanks for the recommendation to post on another forum... I didn't realize this was not the place for it.


Regarding Splash - are you a customer of theirs?

wick - You are not allowed to post offers in this forum. Only the advertising sections of the board :)

I Really hope Splashhosts do not take this type of unlimited resellers. Pretty sure they wont.

This "unlimited" race is leading nowhere and could finish this business.

Good quality requires a limit.
