Hi Wht members,

Here goes my story,

First of all i'v been into this whole hosting mess for 2-3 months now, I had started with some free hosting before a year ago and got really interested in making websites. Then i got really excited about the hosting business, as in how they handle it and manage it.

First paid reseller ever was from DP, and im a good poster there 700+. So it was Forcium Hosting i went it, then they sold the company and lots of hassles here and there.

So searched for a good and cheap reseller hosting at FWS, Im just begineer there but then i found SellWHM in FWS.

So the main plot SellWHM story starts here, I went with them, were good, Ralph was really kind in answering through MSN , and support tickets, helped me learn few things about hosting, i had a pretty good number of people under me now, about 100 clients, than goes the SellWHM's sad ending as we all know here at WHT.

So what i am thinking is, as i have lots all clients..and also the trust which a provider can give me. SellWHM shows me how worse a hosting provider can get, at the point that in the end he quits.

Im looking for a trustable and a company that does backup everyweek or so, that i wont have to repeat the same story,
and have a reliable provider.

If anyone can point me to a right direction, id be willing to start over again with my 10 domains and my main domain as hosting.

Needed: At least 15-20gb space and 100gb bandwith of transfer to start, or i can start with a VPS.

Budget: I have enough cash to backup but, im currently low on virtual cash as in paypal , since i had paid for SellWHM , and havent got any refund..so basically dont worry about budget, anything goes for me , except the provider needs to be extremely good at handling hosting business, not like Ralph!

Thanks,
Sameer

I would pick a more reliable and smarter provider. One that has the money to do everything. I don't recommend Sell WHM either....

i am a client of jaguarpc. i dont know about the reseller plans but i have a vps with them and in my opinion they are affordable and i haven't had downtime with them for more than 6 months

I would go with Host Gator or Eleven 2. They should be able to meet your needs. They both re dependable and established company's.

All the best,

All the best,

Sorry, I made a mistake there. I meant InnoHosting intead of Eleven2.

All the best,

Why the change in mind? Eleven2's hosting is pretty sweet.

Thanks Mark! We take pride in what we do.

I read about SellWHM and I thought it was terrible. It's probably a good idea to go with a well established host.

Look at that, even a fast response to the thread. :D

Good to see you, Mr. Giles.

As regards your needs for hosting, I'd stick with a reseller account and then migrate to a dedicated, a vps isn't always the best solution for running a hosting business.

Boy you really have had some bad luck with hosting companies, just make sure you do your research (check for reviews) and have a chat with them first (sales emails or live chat) to try and get a feel for the host.

If you go for someone that's been around longer than a year that may help guard against the disappearing act some what.

I would recommend: www.iwebfusion.net

They have done a very good job in making me happy after RalphC of SellWHM.com scammed me out of $90.00. Iweb has done everything they could to give us a good deal, and help us decide exactly what I need.

I wish there were more good people about there like Iweb. Unfortunately... we have to deal with "other people" *sigh*.

Good luck SameerHosting!

Suggest you stick with a reseller account unless you know how to admin a VPS, if you are going to go with a VPS make sure it is fully managed.

And up your budget a bit from the likes of SellWHM.
If you are serious about the hosting business screen your provider at least as well as you would a new customer for fraud.
Just because they are on the internet and seem like a nice guy does not make them legit.

Good luck on the search.

I totally agree with you. A VPS can be very limiting and if you want a higher end VPS you could actually use that money to buy a low cost dedicated server that would run much better. I would suggest that you go with the reseller first if you don't have much experience with server management, then gradually expand to a dedicated server.
