Time For A New Host
I haven't posted here in a really long time. I guess that's a good thing because things have been going well.
I have had a VPS with a good company for over a year now. They are great, I never have to contact customer service, everything just works. However, it's WAY more than we need. And this company doesn't offer resellers, so now I'm looking for a good reseller account. We're simply spending too much money on hosting at the moment, and why pay for way more than you need, or see yourself as ever using?
This is our situation: we have one paying customer. A site we designed and maintain the domain and hosting account for. Once a year they write us a big check and we keep the site and do updates as requested. It's important to have a smooth transition for this site. This client is not internet or web saavy at all, so I'd like to avoid any explaining of the move unless something goes wrong - it should go without saying I'd like to avoid anything going wrong in the first place.
That site takes up a little under 200 MB and it looks like close to 3 GB is the most traffic they've ever had. But we have personal domains as well, and we want to keep everything under one roof.
I'd guess it's been close to 4 years since I've looked at new hosting. I need a solid reseller, a reasonable amount of disk space and bandwidth for the price, with strong customer service, willing to do the account transfers for us (cpanel to cpanel).
Who are we trusting as solid, reasonably priced resellers these days? I see talk of Innohosting and Hawk Host - who else is "like" them that I should be considering?
