Hi-

I am currently looking at two different reseller plan and wondered what people thought or if anyone has had experience with any of these hosts:

:: Lehost.net-1 gig space, 15 gigs bandwidth, for $16.95-http://www.lehost.net/plans.html

:: Splash Host Bronze Reseller Plan-1 gig space, 15 gigs B/W, $30/month

The major difference, besides the cost, is that SplashHost has Cpanel, while Lehost is running Plesk. I prefer CPanel over Plesk, but I don't think it's worth $14 to me a month. Also, SplashHost lets you host Unlimited Domains, while Lehost only allows 5. Is there a major service difference?

SplashHost is well known about these parts and seem to have many happy customers. I am a competitor, thus not a customer, but from what I've seen you can't go wrong with Alan and SplashHost.com. I have not heard about the other one at all.... but if you want CPanel and more than five domains, I think the final choice should be clear. :)

Whatever you do, use the search button at the top ^^ and run some searhes to narrow down your choice with user opinions.

Good luck with whoever you end up choosing.

Take care,

Jo

Just signed up with tqhosting.com - was gonna say some good words here, but couldn't find a "kudos" section.

Anyways, happy customer. Mark will set you up with a custom package for a nice price. He's a small operation, just starting out, so the support is definitely there, one on one.

Cheers,
Mark (Chang)

Personally a better control panel with more features, and better functionality and usability coupled with Alan's support is indeed worth the $14 difference.

Go with Splashhost.

I’ve been with SplashHost for nearly a year now and except for the fork bomb episode in early February the service has been very smooth. Alan responds to support ticket really fast and there is also a very friendly and knowledgeable forum at SH.

You will not regret spending a few extra bucks.

May be you can add freestylehosting.com as another option. I use their service and they're very good. Speed servers and friendly staffs ( esp. Diederik ). And the price is so good.

I must agree with many of the above posters, I would also go with SplashHost, I almost did too, but instead found a much cheaper solution (that is now out of business after 40 days or so). Maybe I should listen to my own advice.

I've been with Alan, SplashHost for a year now and he is a good man. There's no down-time for 3 months, till now.
