I'm gonna order a reseller on iweb.com, but I have some questions, in fact some problems...
All I need to have is Plesk instead of cPanel.
Is it Possible?:rolleyes:
Thank You.

You have to send this question to iweb, not WHT forum.
If it's cPanel on their website, i don't think they will offer Plesk for you unless you order a dedicated server.

Hi, Thanks for reply.
The Live Chat did not answered clearly.
Recently cpanel stopped dealing with Persians.Do you know about that? -The Embargo
I wish to order the service, but don't know what to do.
how I can solve this FUNNY!! problem?
Any clues will appreciate.
Thank You.

my experience with them was pretty good however sometimes there is a slow resolution time

I don't think that they offer Plesk

Our shared hosting offers are based on cPanel. As other stated you would need to order a Dedicated Server to get Plesk. About the Persian restriction for cPanel, my guess is it's like IRAN or Syria, cPanel will not lease a cPanel licence directly in those US restricted countries but you should not have any problem buying a shared hosting account from a Canadian host. You would have a problem only if you plan to upgrade to a dedicated server, then you will not be able to obtain a cpanel licence for your server.

Leasing Cpanel to someone in a OFAC restrict country is still illegal and against Cpanel's policies. When you purchase a license from them you must certify that it will not be used by a restricted person.

Well then Cpanel needs to stop selling licenses to countries that are on some obscure US blacklist.

Eh I edited my message wrong and hit submit too soon. Then Cpanel needs to stop selling licenses to countries that have no embargo's/problems with countries that the US has on some blacklist.

Hi, Thanks for reply.
- I really wanna get in Reseller program on iweb.com not lookin for a service that comes with Plesk such as ded server.
- Persia is IRAN.In fact IRAN is Persia.
- If you mean I'll plan to upgrade the Reseller to a dedicated server, I wont.

''cPanel will not lease a cPanel licence directly in those US restricted countries but you should not have any problem buying a shared hosting account from a Canadian host.''

- Does ''shared hosting'' refer to Reseller packages Mega and Multi Resource?
- Tottaly is it possible for me, to order a Reseller package on iWeb.com with current problem? -The problem is Control Panel

Thank you very much, lookin for a remedy...:confused:
They want Iran on knees.But...:cool:

I belive they do offer plesk and cpanel, but only with dedicated servers.

Shared Hosting refers to both Reseller Packages and basic Shared Hosting packages. I do not see any problem for you to subscribe to a shared hosting or reseller hosting plan based on cPanel as you will have no relation whatsoever with cPanel itself. So the short answer is yes it is possible for you to order a reseller package on iweb.com. There is only a little problem but it should be fixed in the next days, we just switched to a new payment processing provider and we just found out it is refusing payments from some countries including IRAN. We will implement a fix shortly so in the meantime your cc payments will probably be declined. Sorry for this inconvenience, we just discovered this "feature" after switching providers.

Hi, Thank you for reply.
Great.:agree:

Many Webhosting companies in Iran retired or broke cause of embargo statements against Iran. GoDaddy.com limited Persians to access their domains.GoDaddy owned domains!!
HostGator and cPanel and ...etc. -All of them forced to do this, they had no choice.I know that.
I need a safe place to invest and start biz safely.Fortunately iWeb.com is a canadian company, and there's no embargo law in Canada, I think so.But I scare.
The only choice I have is ordering services 6 months to 6 months to avoid losing my money.
Here's $10,000 ready to invest, but on a safe place.
- DO you warranty iWeb.com do not and will not limit Persians and Iranians to access services?!
- How much do you suggest me to invest? -on a shaky bridge
- What can I do to be safe?
- Does it make any difference to signup and pay invoices from USA and with American details? -The contract details and owner will be an American Person instead of Iranian to avoid getting in trouble.
- Is it safe and possible to signup and wire transfer the money from Iranain Banks to iWeb.com/iWeb bank account with full Iranian name and details? -I mean I go to the bank (in Iran) and send you Canadian Dollar directly!
- Is there any limits on the domain that I use? -the owner, whois details etc.

At last, What do you suggest me to do?

Thank you very much, I trust you.

- DO you warranty iWeb.com do not and will not limit Persians and Iranians to access services?!The only limitations I know of at this time is that iWeb cannot rent cPanel licences to Iranians. iWeb has to respect canadian laws and its providers' restrictions, I cannot give any guarantee that those laws or restrictions will never change.

How much do you suggest me to invest? -on a shaky bridgeI am not sure I understand the question. That is up to you. You normally do not need to invest a lot to resell hosting using a reseller package.

What can I do to be safe?I would say your best bet would be to stay away from cpanel. But again, it is your choice you could buy a cpanel based reseller package from any hosting provider outside the USA and "should" not have any problem unless cpanel starts to review all accounts hosted on all cpanel servers ... which seems unlikely.

Does it make any difference to signup and pay invoices from USA and with American details? -The contract details and owner will be an American Person instead of Iranian to avoid getting in trouble.It probably is. But I do not know if it's legal.

Is it safe and possible to signup and wire transfer the money from Iranain Banks to iWeb.com/iWeb bank account with full Iranian name and details? -I mean I go to the bank (in Iran) and send you Canadian Dollar directly!I do not think there is any problem for an Iranian to transfer money in Canada. But all this does not depend on iWeb but on the laws that exist between our countries.

I hope it helps a bit even if it's probably not what you want to read.

Before cPanel restriction I wanted to order a dedicated server on iWeb.
Once I heared about it I pushed my self to a low loss service. -What if Plesk did the same?!
so I decided to order reseller packages.Reseller was not my ideal service.
I just trust you and back to order a dedicated server with Plesk control panel.
- Is there any other limits with dedicated servers cause of being Persian?
- Which one you suggest? Sigining up and paying invoices from USA with American details, (She's my syster) OR Signing up and paying invoices directly from Iran with my Iranian details?

Thanks,

I do not know about Plesk's policies, but Plesk's licence management does not work as cPanel's. Once plesk assigns you a licence it is on your server and it can't be deactivated by them. cPanel activate licences based on IPs and can deactivate a licence at any time.

Not that I know of.

my experience is that iweb.com is a bad hosting provider. their response times are slow, their technitions run untested commands that cause permission problems. they run updates on stuff that you don't want updated with confirming that it will not mess anything up. i have gotten hardware upgrades and they put hardware(disk drive in my case) that was bad from the beginning. i noticed it was broken when i looked at it for the first time.

its a never ending cycle of fixing something and having them break it. they couldn't even recompile apache without losing all of my extensions. i asked them to repair my mailbox problems: they broke horde and chowned my entire public_html folder to the users so i had a thousand sites down with 500 internal server errors.

the list just goes on and on. i have a complete list of tickets and am putting together the timeline of communication so people can see it. they suck so bad its amazing. if it wasn't me who was paying im not sure if i would ever be able to stop laughing.

they make mistakes that no normal novice admin would be stupid enough to do and they don't even check their work. so they go in like a cowboy and either a) think they fixed it and send you an email back after 8 hours and its still broken. b) fixed it but broke something else in the mean time or c) completely ignore you.

i asked for a reinstallation of fedora core 6 and i get an email back saying that they installed cent os because it was better for cpanel. im glad that they took it upon themselves to make the executive decision on my hosting account and livlyhood.

and after about 1-2 weeks of going back and forth and back and forth and back and forth some more you may actually get some where.

i have decided to open a complete website to show their incompetence level because i feel bad for anyone who decides to use iweb in the future.

i have even escalated to management numerous times and gotten no response ever. i have emailed the billing department a dozen times and not gotten a response ever.

what it comes right down to is you are making a bad choice if host with iweb.
